  I offer individual DBT treatment to adolescent and young adult clients and their families, many of whom have been referred for other emotional disorders yet never encountered the BPD diagnosis in their travels through the system. I am also a NYS School Psychologist of nearly thirty years and advocate for parents on how to productively interface with the public school, university, mental health, and juvenile justice systems to obtain necessary services for their children.
