If you've been in a slump, need answers, or your life feels out of control, speaking to a therapist may be just the thing to get you through this time of your life. Therapists are not alike. We bring with us our personalities and skill sets, and that's ok! Maybe you've never been to a therapist. Maybe you've been to several. My focus is on your goals (so, start thinking about what you want out of therapy). I use a very cerebral approach to your healing. We will identify, dissect, and reformulate the way you see the world around you in a loving and compassionate environment. If you're ready for change, then I'm your gal.

Every morning you feel "I can’t get out of bed”. It seems like too much right now. you peel yourself out of bed anyway, because you know you have to get going. You have to do all the “things” to make the world function for the humans in your life, but some days it feels like too much. You think this shouldn’t be this hard. I should know what to do and yet you still don’t make any change. You turn on the podcasts, and the audiobooks, but no matter how many you listen to you just cannot get yourself to make lasting change. If you could just talk this out maybe it would have to feel so alone.

Need help today? I have openings! It's been a rough few years—thanks, 2020! But I see you. I know you've been running yourself ragged trying to make your life work. You're exhausted, dissatisfied, and increasingly uninspired. People are trying to compliment you, saying 'You're doing great!' but you get in your head, and it's a negative spiral. You used to thrive, but now you feel lost, lonely, and dissatisfied. Your anxiety and depression are keeping you stuck, so you find yourself coping with your new best friend Netflix and withdrawing from life. Something has to change!

I believe every woman, man and child has infinite value and worth. Whether we have experienced feelings of worthlessness because of our own actions or because of the actions of others, developing self-love is the pathway toward true joy. When we experience trauma, we develop false ideas about ourselves and the world that keep us in a place of fear, anger, and hopelessness. We make decisions based on those beliefs that cause ourselves and others despair. When we learn to love ourselves completely, we can find true healing within ourselves and the world in a deeply powerful way.

It can be hard to admit there is a problem we can't solve on our own, or to face the feelings that we get so good at pushing away. Healing is possible--even from trauma and loss. The process works best when you find someone who you feel is on your side, and is working with you to help you reach your goals. I hope I can be that person for you!

Life is full of unexpected challenges and trauma: small, big, some temporary and some life long. Through this we often learn to stop listening to our inner voice, stop getting our needs met, and start listening to negative core beliefs. This often results in: consistent cycles of suffering, anxiety, depression, daily functioning, and relationship difficulties. Together I will help you work through these negative core beliefs, find your true-self, and develop coping skills to heal through all of the trauma and break the cycles. I will help you learn to listen to your own inner voice and find power to make change for growth.

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.
