Dialectic Behavior Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder in New York, NY and Jersey City, NJ
Come as you are. Bring the messy parts too.
Are there things that you just can’t explain? Are there thoughts that just keep coming up? Do relationships feel overly complicated and out of your reach? Are there struggles you’ve been meaning to set aside time to address but somehow don’t?
You’ve already taken the first step. Lets take the next one together.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
Maybe you’re holding it together on the outside but what about the inside?
You may be ignoring feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or uncertain by perfectionism or the need to keep it together. You replay conversations, think through every possible outcome, and somehow manage to worry about things that haven't even happened yet. You're aware that you're overthinking. Unfortunately, knowing that hasn't magically made it stop.
People know they can count on you. And you love them, you really do. But sometimes you'd like to be the person who doesn't have everything figured out for once. Maybe you are people pleasing and don’t understand why but are always left feeling like you should be doing more for everyone else.
There are ways to step out of the cycle of pressure and self-criticism or neglect. Lets work to develop greater emotional balance, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
A lot of people get used to pushing through things without really stopping to think about how they're doing. It works, until it doesn't.
I'm a therapist who believes that good therapy starts with a good relationship. I like getting to know the person beyond what brought them into my office space, and I bring curiosity, honesty, and a little humor into our conversations.
My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. We'll talk about what's going on, get curious about the patterns that keep showing up, and figure out what feels helpful for you.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed treatment along with the other evidence-based strategies I use can help you develop practical skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, improving relationships, communicating your needs, and responding to life's challenges with greater wisdom and intention. If you’re looking for hands on, practical tools that show you what to do and how to do them then this is the approach for you.
Therapy isn't about lowering your standards or giving up your ambition. It's about learning how to pursue what matters to you without being driven by fear, perfectionism, or the feeling that you are never enough.
Ways we can work together
There's room for all of it here.
Services
Individual therapy for adults
DBT individual therapy is a structured, skills-focused form of one-on-one psychotherapy that blends behavioral science with principles of mindfulness and acceptance. Therapy emphasizes balancing change strategies with validation and acceptance.
Individual therapy for teens
Using a blend of modalities such as DBT, EFT and Gottman Method (level 1-2 completed) I help couples gain a better understanding of what is ineffective in their relationship and how to build skills and gain mastery in building a relationship that honors both of them and their needs.
Relationship counseling
DBT is a skills-based, evidence-supported therapy originally developed to treat intense emotional dysregulation. For adolescents, DBT is adapted to address common teen problems: mood swings, impulsive behavior, self-harm, suicidal thinking, intense interpersonal conflict, and chronic emotional pain.
One thing worth knowing
You get to have a say in this, too.
Therapy works best when you feel comfortable being honest, including when something isn't working. You can ask questions, disagree with me, be confused or show up without knowing what you want to talk about. I want this to be a space where we can figure things out together, without you feeling like there's a right way to do therapy.
