Borderline Personality Disorder

Gain Emotional Balance & Build Stable Adult Relationships

Does life often feel like an intense emotional rollercoaster where small changes or conflicts send your stress levels through the roof? Do you find yourself reacting intensely in relationships, only to feel overwhelmed by guilt, fear, or shame later on?

Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or severe emotional dysregulation can leave you feeling exhausted, misunderstood, and constantly on guard. You might struggle to keep your footing when distress hits, feeling as though your emotions are entirely in the driver's seat.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy Professional (CDBT), I provide structured, evidence-based care specifically designed to help adults aged 18 to 65 regain control over their reactions, stabilize their relationships, and create lasting inner peace.

Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Right for You?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is the gold standard, research-proven treatment for BPD, chronic emotional instability, and intense interpersonal stress.

You may benefit from DBT if you experience:

Rapid, Overwhelming Mood Shifts
Experiencing intense waves of anger, anxiety, or sadness triggered by minor environmental changes or perceived shifts in tone.
Fear of Abandonment & Relationship Turbulence
Worrying constantly that people close to you will leave, leading to intense conflicts, sudden withdrawal, or clinging behaviors.
Impulsive Behaviors in Crisis
Turning to impulsive coping mechanisms, self-defeating habits, or outbursts when emotional pain feels unbearable.
Unclear Sense of Self
Feeling disconnected from your identity, core values, or long-term life goals, often feeling empty or unsure of who you truly are.

The Four Pillars of Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT works because it balances complete acceptance of where you are right now with practical, active strategies for change. Through a Systems Approach, I help you understand how your internal emotional responses interact with your external relationships and environments.

Together, we focus on the four core skill sets of DBT:

Mindfulness
Learn how to stay fully anchored in the present moment without judging yourself or reacting impulsively to fleeting thoughts.
Distress Tolerance
Build a concrete toolkit of crisis-survival skills to navigate intense emotional pain, panic, or urges without resorting to destructive behaviors.
Emotion Regulation
Understand your emotional triggers, reduce your vulnerability to painful feelings, and learn how to change unwanted emotional states.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Express your needs clearly, establish firm boundaries, and resolve relationship conflicts without damaging your self-respect or pushing others away.

Key Benefits of BPD & DBT Therapy:

Emotional Stability: Replacing unpredictable emotional swings with steady, grounded self-regulation.
Healthier Adult Relationships: Communicating effectively and building secure, balanced connections without fear of rejection.
Effective Crisis Coping: Handling high-stress situations calmly without making the problem worse.
Clear Identity & Direction: Rebuilding a strong sense of self-worth and aligning your daily actions with your true values.
