Connecting with your Counselor and feeling safe and free to open up is the most important piece in the therapeutic process. The comment that I receive most often from clients is that I am easy to talk to, leading them to open up quickly because they feel safe and accepted. I have a passion for helping people heal, whether that is from a traumatic past or event, the hurt of past or present relationships, or the anxiety and depression that they are experiencing.

Life is consistently challenging all of us in a variety of ways. Whether the difficulties involve a major loss or transition, or conflicts with spouses, partners, children or work, everyone occasionally needs help to sort through our experiences and ensure we progress down a healthy path. I believe that all of us are individuals with our own distinct, and sometimes complex, circumstances. I pride myself in creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space that allows clients to freely, and confidentially explore their struggles.

Change is painful, Growth is painful... but nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don't belong. Therapy is a journey, and the first step makes the biggest difference. I can provide a safe, accepting space where you can come and be heard and speak freely without judgement. I specialize in working with young adult women who are experiencing problems and stressors related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma, and life transitions.

Were you recently the victim of a personal injury claim? My clients are typically experiencing PTSD symptoms and/or chronic pain, caused by a recent traumatic event. These symptoms are often exacerbated when they are not able to receive immediate treatment. I work hard to not only build the relationship necessary to facilitate the healing process, but the knowledge and the skills for clients to do so. I help my clients redefine their lives and their values, to begin making the efforts necessary to overcome their current circumstances, and build a new and better life, with meaning and fulfillment.

What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
