In my practice, some clients have, at times, demonstrated tendencies indicative of schizophrenic psychosis with short-lived episodes in which they lose touch with reality. These clients I immediately refer for psychiatric evaluation. In my estimation, because borderline personality disorder is difficult to diagnose, I am careful not attempt to arrive at any diagnosis in under five sessions.

Borderline Personality Disorder can be best described as an emotional intensity disorder. You feel more, feel it longer, and to more extreme than those around you. You're often left feeling empty and abandoned and experience instability in your relationships. There are ways to combat this and have healthy, thriving interpersonal relationships. We can work together to achieve this. If you are a loved one of someone diagnosed with BPD or someone you suspect has BPD, I can also be of help.

Hearing you have a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder can be confusing and frightening to say the least. Often people who have received this diagnosis experienced a great deal of neglect and trauma during their childhood. In order to survive, patterns and thoughts and behavior developed and were very likely necessary as your survival into adulthood. However, these same skills have left you feeling isolated, alone and alienated. The fact that you are here, suggest you have all the tools needed to start the process of recovery. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy: DBT is one of the researched evidence based practices in treating borderline personality disorder (BPD.) Developing a therapeutic relationship first and foremost in a safe, compassionate, honest and affirming space will assist in understanding, managing, and addressing BPD at it's core.
