A.J. has six years of experience dealing with those referred to as non borderlines as a life coach.

She also has extensive experience as a life coach supporting those who are in what is now being referred to as "non borderline recovery" after ending relationships, or after the BPD in one's life has ended a relationship, or when a family member has had to disengage from someone with BPD as well.

She has 6 years of direct life coaching experience specializing in BPD and she has experienced the challenges and heartache of BPD in all roles possible except as a parent of someone with BPD. Having 14 years distance between having had BPD and being recovered makes A.J. all the stronger as a life coach and all the more experienced in the many patterns that those who have someone with BPD in their lives often find challenging.

A.J., in her own words, "I have been described by many as an expert on Borderline Personality Disorder. What makes me an expert? Well, not University degrees, but real life experience. I am a person who recovered from BPD 14 years ago now. I also had 2 parents with BPD. I was also in a relationship with someone with BPD (after I had recovered from BPD) - Both of these experiences put me squarely the shoes and experience of what it means to be the loved one of someone with BPD, before, during and after I had Borderline Personality Disorder."

"I have been a life coach online for the past 6 years. That's a lot of experience! I also have been online writing articles, ebooks, authoring and speaking in both my audio programs and audio podcasts for 14 years now. I am an expert on BPD, from the inside out. I not only know how those with BPD feel and think from the inside out, but I also know, first hand, what it is like to be on the other side of BPD in the non borderline role. So, I also keenly understand the pain and confusion of the loved one, family member, ex or relationship partner of someone with BPD. I am able to explain, explore, and examine any and all aspects of BPD as it manifests generally and in relationships specifically with the clients I coach. I am an experienced strategizer. I can help you make a plan to cope more effectively than perhaps you are right now."

Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex and complicated mental illness. It drastically effects the lives of not only those diagnosed with it, but those who know, love, or care about someone with BPD.

Borderline Personality Disorder leaves both those with it and non borderlines in negative, often to the point of toxic, relationship patterns.

As a life coach I provide a caring, compassionate, safe, confidential, non judgemental, validating and supportive relationship within which clients can feel empowered to explore their present-day needs. I essentially act as a human mirror for my clients. I share with my clients an outside and unbiased perspective as to what I observe in listening to their feelings, experiences, and In the case of those who are family members, relationship partners, or ex-relationship partners of those with Borderline Personality Disorder I have a profound understanding of BPD as someone who had it, recovered from it, and had a relationship six years after my recovery with someone with BPD (and NPD). I have not only recovered from BPD but I have recovered from the relationship I had with a borderline-narcissist in which I was the non borderline and I am currently living my life free any involvement personally with Borderline Personality Disorder.
