People often come to psychotherapy feeling stuck, angry, wound up, or adrift. Beneath the surface are important and unmet needs. By recognizing these, we can start shifting patterns that get in our way and communicate more clearly with others. I work with children, adolescents and adults. My approach is curious, warm, and actively engaged. I draw on my extensive training in psychodynamic and attachment-based interventions, initiating change by understanding the past experiences that shape our reactions and patterns in present-day relationships. I also incorporate emotion regulation skills and mindfulness techniques, as appropriate.

Are you stuck? Same problems, same thoughts? Unable to play, or imagine something different? Depression, anxiety, addictions and trauma require another person to help you understand their pull and face them, so they no longer control your life. Suffering alone only forces the pain underground to emerge in symptoms, behaviors and personal interactions that undermine your life and lead you to hide even more from others. The therapy relationship is one where you hope to explore who you are with another person to allow your desires to emerge without shame and fear.

Engaging in personal exploration through therapy, though occasionally fraught with pain and difficulty, yields profound insights into our deepest fears and desires. By bringing our feelings, thoughts, and motivations into conscious awareness, we can begin to understand the self-defeating patterns that get in the way of our fulfillment in love, relationships, and work. As a psychologist, I primarily work with adults, including young adults navigating their identities and professionals balancing their work and personal lives. In addition, I specialize in treating individuals struggling with trauma and personality disorders.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
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.
