Borderline Personality Disorder
Psychologist, Ph.D.
BPD is very treatable, but it's important to see a specialist.
I began my practice after completing a post-doctoral fellowship in Treatment of Borderline Disorder at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, using the methods pioneered Dr. Otto Kernberg. For the last 5 years, I've integrated some aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into my practice, especially mindfulness meditation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques may be employed to identify and challenge maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies could be integrated to address emotional dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties, emphasizing skills such as distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. My hope is to provide a comprehensive framework for individuals with borderline personality disorder to cultivate self-awareness, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and foster more stable relationships.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Helping clients and families identify what they can change and what they can’t change is a major goal in DBT. In therapy, we help loved ones minimize their contributions to the problems (by invalidating) while also helping coach them in how to be real, transparent, and how to set their own limits.
Learning how and when to validate is a huge part of the process.
