Is This You?
Maybe your emotions feel like they go from zero to a hundred in seconds, and just as quickly crash back down. Maybe relationships feel intense and unstable, you love hard, you fear abandonment harder, and you've pushed people away right when you needed them most, or been pushed away yourself. Maybe you've been told you're "too much," and some part of you believes it. If any of this sounds familiar, I want you to know this isn't a character flaw. It's a pattern, and patterns can shift.
What This Often Looks Like
- Emotions that feel intense and fast moving
- A deep fear of being abandoned or left behind
- Relationships that swing between very close and very distant
- An unstable or shifting sense of who you are
- Impulsive decisions made in the middle of strong emotion
These patterns usually take root early, often shaped by relationships where safety and connection felt unpredictable. They make complete sense given where they came from.
How We Work Together
I don't sit across from you like a wall. My approach is relational psychodynamic, which means I bring my honest reactions into the room, because how you affect me is often a real clue to how you're showing up in relationships everywhere else. That takes trust, what I call relational equity, the kind of relationship strong enough to hold honesty, even when it's hard. We build that slowly, and I don't avoid the hard conversations once we have it. This work is also deeply attachment based. A lot of what shows up in BPD traces back to early relational patterns, and the therapy relationship itself becomes a place to experience something different, steady, honest, and safe enough to stay in even when things get intense.
What You Can Expect
This is real, sometimes slow work, and it's genuinely possible to feel different. Many clients find they begin to:
- Feel emotions without being completely swept away by them
- Build relationships that feel more stable
- Understand their patterns instead of just being confused or ashamed by them
- Trust themselves more

Common Questions
A few things people usually want to know before reaching out. If you don't see your question here, feel free to ask during your free consultation.
Is borderline personality disorder actually treatable?
Yes. It's one of the more misunderstood diagnoses, but research consistently shows people improve significantly with the right relational and skills based therapy. Change is genuinely possible.
I've been told I'm 'too much' by people in my life. How is this different?
In here, there's no such thing as too much. I bring my honest, real self into the room with you, which means you get an actual relationship, not a clinical distance, to practice being fully yourself in.
What kind of therapy do you use for BPD?
My approach is relational psychodynamic and attachment based. I focus on the relationship between us as a tool for change, alongside understanding the patterns and history behind what you're experiencing.
Will you diagnose me?
Diagnosis can be part of a clinical assessment, but I approach it with significant caution. Before assigning a formal label, I carefully evaluate clinical accuracy and weigh whether a diagnosis will genuinely support your healing or if it might be more harmful than helpful. My priority is finding language that actually fits your lived experience—not rushing to fit you into a box. However, please note that if you choose to request a superbill for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, I am legally required to include an official mental health diagnosis for your insurance provider to accept the claim.
I'm scared therapy will just be another relationship I ruin. What if that happens here?
That fear makes a lot of sense given your history, and it's actually welcome here. If ruptures happen between us, and they might, we'll work through them together. That repair is often where the real growth happens.
