Bipolar Disorder can be understood as a manifestation of emotional turmoil and self-cohesion struggles, deeply rooted in early relational experiences. I emphasize the role of empathic misattunement — where an individual’s emotional needs were either inadequately understood or validated, leading to fluctuations in emotional stability. The manic episodes may represent attempts to overcompensate for feelings of inadequacy or emotional disintegration, while the depressive phases reflect a collapse of self-cohesion and emotional overwhelm. In therapy, the goal is to address the underlying relational dynamics that fuel these emotional extremes, fostering a more cohesive sense of self and promoting healing through empathic attunement. I provide an emotionally validating therapeutic environment where you can learn to navigate emotional shifts and develop greater emotional stability and resilience.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by intense emotional instability, difficulty in maintaining relationships, and a distorted sense of self. Individuals with BPD often experience extreme mood swings, impulsive behavior, and a fear of abandonment, which can lead to unstable relationships and intense feelings of emptiness or anger. They may also struggle with self-image and may engage in self-harming behaviors or reckless actions. Treatment typically includes dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which focuses on developing coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and fostering healthy relationships. My goal is to help you build a more stable sense of self and improve your overall emotional resilience.
