I have worked with a number of personality disorders. Please book an initial consultation to discuss the supports you have already accessed and so we can ensure psychodynamic psychotherapy and other complimentary modalities are the right fit to support you.
From a psychodynamic lens, I aim to understand the ways in which your personality has developed through a constellation of bio-psycho-social factors: including your biologically-based temperament/constitution; the attachment relationships that have created internal sets of rules and external dynamics for how you interact with others; how you have learned to cope and survive via defense mechanisms; and how connected you feel you are to an enduring sense of self.
I effectively work with personality disorders, particularly BPD, using tailored therapeutic approaches to foster emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and a balanced, fulfilling life.

I do not like to label persons to having a certain personality disorder. We are all unique for a reason. I aim to guide you to live effectively and to your fullest potential regardless of what defines who you are or what you may suffer from.
We understand how difficult it can be living with a personality disorder. There is often judgment from medical professionals and a sense of blame. We are committed to providing compassionate, evidence based care to meet your needs.

A person experiencing personality disorder will exhibit a pattern of behaviours and moods that negatively impacts the sufferers and the people around them. Ultimately, the abnormal behaviours and thoughts inherent in a personality disorder can keep the sufferers from functioning fully in their normal lives.
