Building emotional stability, self-trust, and secure connection.

​

Living with intense emotions, unstable relationships, chronic self-doubt, or fears of abandonment can be exhausting and confusing. You may feel as though your inner world moves faster and more powerfully than you can manage - leaving you feeling reactive, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you really are beneath the intensity.

​

Many people who seek support for BPD or BPD traits are highly sensitive, perceptive, and deeply relational - yet struggle with emotional regulation, impulsivity, identity stability, and relational safety. You may find yourself longing for closeness while simultaneously fearing rejection or abandonment. You may notice cycles of idealizing and distancing in relationships, or feel chronically empty, disconnected, or internally unsettled.

​

These patterns are not signs of being broken or defective. They are often rooted in nervous system conditioning, early attachment experiences, and learned survival strategies that once served a protective purpose.

​

With the right structure, support, and therapeutic relationship, meaningful change is absolutely possible.

​

You may recognize some of these experiences

​

• Intense emotions that shift quickly and feel difficult to regulate

• Strong fears of abandonment, rejection, or being misunderstood

• Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in closeness

• Impulsivity around spending, eating, sex, substances, anger, or self-soothing behaviors

• Feeling chronically empty, disconnected, or unsure of who you are

• Relationship patterns that feel chaotic, painful, or unpredictable

• A deep fear that something is fundamentally wrong with you

​

Whether or not you carry a formal diagnosis, these experiences can be deeply painful - and they deserve skilled, compassionate care.

​

What therapy can help you develop

​

Our work together focuses on helping you:

​

• Build emotional regulation and nervous system stability

• Strengthen self-trust, identity coherence, and self-compassion

• Develop healthier relationship patterns and boundaries

• Reduce impulsivity and reactive behaviors

• Increase distress tolerance and emotional flexibility

• Heal attachment wounds and trauma-related patterns

• Experience greater internal safety and relational security

• Build a life guided by values rather than emotional survival states

​

This work is structured, intentional, and paced to support safety and long-term change — not just short-term symptom relief.

​

My clinical approach

​

I work integratively, drawing from evidence-based modalities that are especially effective for BPD and complex emotional patterns, including:

​

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and impulse control

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) for understanding protective patterns, healing trauma, and strengthening internal leadership

• Attachment-based and somatic approaches to support nervous system regulation and relational repair

• Cognitive strategies when helpful for restructuring entrenched patterns of thought and behavior

​

Sessions are active, collaborative, and tailored to your goals and nervous system capacity. We work both with present-day challenges and the deeper emotional patterns driving them.

​

I bring a steady, respectful, non-judgmental stance to this work. Many clients who have felt misunderstood or pathologized elsewhere find this approach grounding and empowering.

​

What progress often looks like

​

Over time, many clients experience:

​

• More emotional steadiness and resilience

• Reduced crisis cycles and impulsivity

• Increased self-compassion and self-trust

• More stable, satisfying relationships

• Stronger boundaries and communication

• Greater clarity around identity and values

• A deeper sense of internal safety and agency

​

Change happens gradually - but it builds in meaningful, lasting ways.
