Experienced in working with clients formally diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder type 1 and type 2.
My work is around coping tools and emotional regulation.
Bipolar disorder is a mental health disorder characterized by extreme mood swings, known as manic or hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes. These episodes can greatly impact an individual's ability to function in daily life and can cause significant distress.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals with bipolar disorder. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) which have been proven to be effective in treating bipolar disorder.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their symptoms. DBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals develop coping skills such as emotional regulation, mindfulness and distress tolerance, which can help them manage their emotions in a healthy way.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your bipolar disorder and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. We will also work on building resilience and coping skills to help you navigate through the challenges that you may face.
Bipolar disorder can be challenging and overwhelming, but with the right support, it is possible to manage symptoms and improve your overall well-being. I am here to help you navigate this process, and I encourage you to reach out for help

For those with BPD, who often struggle with intense emotions, unstable relationships, and a fragmented sense of self, Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP) provides a safe and supportive environment to explore these experiences. My job is to establish a holding field which fosters relational presence, mindfulness based approaches and body awareness, thereby helping individuals to develop greater emotional regulation, reduce impulsivity, and build a more coherent sense of self. The therapeutic relationship in CPP is also crucial, as it provides a steadfast and compassionate presence that can help individuals with BPD develop trust and experience corrective emotional experiences that facilitate healing and growth.

I believe that the most important first step is to conduct a thorough diagnostic procedure. I have come across many individuals who carry this diagnosis when in fact other psychological explanations are a better fit. Once a diagnosis is made, the most important factor is to design a program for the individual's circumstances.
