Personality Disorders & Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Living with a personality disorder — especially Borderline Personality Disorder — can feel like navigating emotional extremes, unstable relationships, or intense fear of abandonment. You may feel deeply misunderstood, struggle with identity, or swing between highs and lows that leave you emotionally drained.

At Serene Heart Therapy, I offer a validating and skill-based approach to support clients with BPD and other personality-related concerns. My work is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and person-centered care, which means you’ll learn concrete tools to manage emotions, improve relationships, and feel more in control — while also being deeply seen and accepted.

Common experiences you may be navigating:

• Intense emotional reactions or mood swings

• Difficulty managing anger or sadness

• Fear of rejection, abandonment, or being “too much”

• Self-harming thoughts or behaviors

• Relationship patterns that feel chaotic or painful

• Identity confusion or a sense of emptiness

You are not your diagnosis. Therapy is a space to explore who you are beyond labels — and to gain the insight, tools, and support needed to create a life that feels meaningful and balanced.

We can integrate DBT skills like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness — all personalized to your journey.
