What's your approach to borderline personality disorder (BPD), and what does progress look like for clients?
I approach borderline personality disorder with compassion, patience, and the understanding that meaningful change is possible with the right support. I take time to understand your experiences, emotional patterns, and relationships while working collaboratively to develop a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. My role includes thoughtful medication management when appropriate, education about BPD, and coordination with psychotherapy—particularly therapies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which has strong evidence for helping people build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships.
Progress isn't about becoming a different person—it's about feeling more in control of your emotions and reactions. Over time, many clients notice fewer emotional crises, more stable relationships, increased confidence in managing stress, and a greater ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. My goal is to provide consistent, supportive care that helps you build a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
Hello, I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a nursing career built on years of hands-on patient care and a deep commitment to serving my community. My healthcare journey began in high school as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), and over time I earned my nursing degree in 2017 before completing my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in 2020. Along the way, I've cared for patients in hospital settings, home care, and as a travel nurse throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Since becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I've worked in both private practice and community mental health, where I've had the privilege of supporting individuals with a wide range of mental health needs. These diverse experiences have shaped my compassionate, practical approach to care and my commitment to helping each person feel heard, supported, and empowered on their path to wellness.
