If you have received a diagnosis of BPD, then you know that mitigating your varying moods is critical to leading a full and happy life. I am committed to working with my patients so that they can develop a complete understanding of their own patterns and behaviors so that they can learn to anticipate when a shift might be coming, and what they can do to make that shift a little softer. This is a condition that also bears a lot of stigma, and I hope to create a judgement-free space where my patient feels emboldened to express themselves openly and honestly.
I spent a year training on a DBT team working with clients with BPD. I regularly use the skills in my practice and enjoying working with clients with BPD to this day.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is often the treatment of choice. DBT helps individuals learn skills to manage intense emotions, regulate mood, improve interpersonal relationships, and increase distress tolerance. Therapy may also focus on exploring past experiences and underlying beliefs contributing to BPD symptoms, while promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance
I treat Borderline Personality Disorder using dialectical behavior therapy. This therapy was designed specifically for people with borderline personality disorder. Dialectical behavior therapy builds skills such as mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and stress tolerance. I use techniques to keep you in the present and not in the past.
