Why Work with a Specialist?
In the field of therapy, a specialist has advanced knowledge and experience in treating specific conditions, such as BPD, and can offer a more focused, tailored approach.
-
Specialists are experts who deeply understand the complexities of BPD and know which therapeutic methods are most effective for treating it.

What is DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)?
As part of my specialized approach to treating BPD, I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—the gold-standard treatment for BPD. DBT is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that was developed specifically for individuals struggling with intense emotions and self-destructive behaviors.
DBT helps you develop essential coping skills in four key areas:
-
Mindfulness: Learning how to stay present in the moment and manage your thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed.
-
Distress Tolerance: Building resilience and the ability to cope with emotional pain without resorting to harmful behaviors.
-
Emotion Regulation: Gaining control over overwhelming emotions, allowing you to feel more stable and balanced.
-
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Developing skills to maintain healthy, balanced relationships and assertively communicate your needs.
Why DBT for BPD?
DBT is the most effective treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder because it is designed to address the core struggles of BPD, including emotional dysregulation, fear of abandonment, and relationship difficulties. Here’s why DBT is so effective:
-
Research-backed success: Studies consistently show that DBT reduces self-harming behaviors, emotional instability, and interpersonal conflicts, making it an essential tool for BPD recovery.
-
Comprehensive care: DBT combines individual therapy with skills training, phone coaching, and a focus on validating your experiences while also teaching you practical skills for change.
-
Validation and Change: DBT emphasizes both validating your feelings and encouraging positive change—an approach that’s especially effective for individuals with BPD.
