I don't believe in personality "disorders" and I'm happy to go into this deeper with clients. The pattern that is often called "Borderline Personality Disorder" often involves an overly flexible sense of self that expands and contracts and shifts to survive. Let's map your self process and see what we learn about how you can move through relationships and the world differently to support your wellbeing.
Many clinicians often shy away from patients who have been diagnosed with or who are suspected to have a diagnosis of BPD. Our practice is just the opposite. Our skills and experience in helping manage the regulation difficulties and identity struggles that come with a BPD diagnosis can make a great deal of difference in your long term functioning.
I view BPD- symptoms as being the result of untreated complex trauma, often stemming from childhood trauma. I treat BPD using EMDR and parts work/IFS to support internal processing and healing.
In approaching this particular disorder, psychodynamic therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy are effecting in re-orienting the client's attitudes and behavior towards other people.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be a challenging experience. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a unique approach to understanding the underlying causes of BPD symptoms.
Together we'll explore unconscious patterns and early relational experiences that may contribute to emotional instability, troubled relationships, and distorted self-image. By gaining insight into these dynamics, you can develop stronger coping mechanisms and build a more cohesive sense of self.

I enjoy working with borderline personality disorder and find that the emotion based tools work the most as I focus on helping lead the client through a deeper integration of self, helping them understand their personality in totality with love and acceptance.
