Attachment Wounds, emotional dysregulation, & Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
When your emotions feel too big for the room.
Relationships can become complicated when your nervous system has learned that connection isn't always safe.
You may find yourself longing for closeness while also fearing rejection. Maybe your emotions feel bigger than you know what to do with. Maybe conflict feels overwhelming, relationships leave you questioning yourself, or you keep finding yourself in the same painful patterns despite how hard you're trying to change them.
If you've ever wondered, "Why do I react this way?" or "Why does this keep happening?" you're not alone.
Whether you've been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), identify with attachment wounds, struggle with emotional dysregulation, or simply recognize yourself in these experiences, therapy can help you make sense of what's happening beneath the surface.
We believe that our patterns develop for a reason. Rather than judging them or trying to force them away, we get curious about them. Together, we'll explore the experiences that shaped your nervous system, understand the protective strategies you've developed over time, and build new ways of responding that feel more grounded, intentional, and aligned with who you are.
Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one way mental health professionals describe a pattern of emotional and relational experiences. While not everyone who experiences attachment wounds or emotional dysregulation has BPD, many people relate to similar struggles without identifying with the diagnosis. Therapy focuses less on the label and more on understanding your unique experiences, your nervous system, and the patterns that developed as ways of seeking safety, connection, and having your emotional needs met.
Do any of these experiences resonate with you?
- You worry people are pulling away, abandoning you, or rejecting you, even when they reassure you they're not.
- Your emotions feel overwhelming, shift quickly, or are difficult to regulate, especially during conflict or moments of disconnection.
- You deeply crave connection but sometimes find yourself shutting down, pulling away, or pushing others away to protect yourself.
- Relationships feel intense, emotionally exhausting, or leave you questioning your worth, identity, or whether you've done something wrong.
- You often feel misunderstood, ashamed, or like you're "too much," even when you're doing your best.
- You recognize these patterns and genuinely want things to be different, but you're not sure how to change them.
Healing looks different for everyone, which is why therapy is tailored to your unique experiences, goals, and needs. Our approach combines compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based practices to help you better understand yourself, strengthen emotional regulation, and build healthier relationships.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
EMDR helps reprocess traumatic experiences, distressing memories, and negative core beliefs that may continue to influence how you see yourself, others, and the world. As these memories are processed, many clients experience a reduction in emotional distress and feel more grounded in the present.
Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we integrate practical skills to help you regulate intense emotions, tolerate distress, navigate relationships more effectively, and respond to life's challenges with greater confidence and flexibility.
Our goal isn't simply to reduce symptoms, it's to help you better understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and create lasting change that extends beyond the therapy room.
