My Mission in Treating BPD

My mission is to demystify Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), promote high-quality information, empathy, and reduce the stigma surrounding this diagnosis.
I strive to empower my clients, helping them develop skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and achieve greater emotional stability. All of this is approached with a welcoming, ethical, and evidence-based practice.

Why Specialized Treatment is Essential

Impact of BPD

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) affects between 0.7% and 2.7% of the Brazilian population, profoundly impacting the lives of those who live with it.
Key challenges include difficulty regulating emotions, instability in relationships, and a often distorted self-image.
However, with specialized treatment such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), it is possible to significantly reduce suffering, promoting greater emotional balance, self-awareness, and quality of life.
