There are many reasons people seek therapy. Sometimes there is a sense of sadness that just doesn't go away. Sometimes anxiety is so bad that one is unable to leave one's home. One may be in crisis, finding that coping skills are no longer working. And sometimes the past interferes with the present, causing a lack of self-esteem, sleep disturbance, self-harm, nightmares, flashbacks, loss of time, suicidal thoughts. And sometimes one may feel stuck in an abusive relationship, unable to assert oneself to get one's own needs met.

Do you feel broken by anxiety or past experiences? Have you been told that you are too sensitive, too much, or that you take things too personally? Do people tell you to relax, quit worrying, or calm down as though it were just that easy? You've done everything you can think of to stop the racing thoughts, sleepless nights, isolation, and self-criticism, but it seems like nothing can fix whatever is "wrong with you” and you feel like a failure because the pain, fear, and emptiness is still there.

Whether it’s anxiety, depression, stressful adjustments, marital problems or even stress from everyday life situations. Regardless what life throws your way it always helps to have someone by your side that will say I’ve got you and we will get through this together. One of the biggest reasons Counseling is successful is therapeutic rapport. Feeling cared about and never judged is something everyone deserves. Covid has made all of us think about the choices we have made and left us with a fear we are not used to. It’s something we are all facing together and learning to cope with this fear is something new for all of us.

Life’s journey can be really challenging sometimes. Hardships, relationships, and emotions can be difficult to overcome. While people come to treatment for a variety of reasons, therapy can serve as a critical anchor when you are feeling lost, broken, or stuck. I view therapy as a safe, explorative space to help you work through the problems you're experiencing as well as learn more about the relationships affecting your life.

Anxiety, panic, fear, grief, anger, irritability, insomnia, relapse, depression and shutting down are all normal responses to the trauma of the extensive fear and isolation we are currently experiencing. Whether distancing alone or with family, Covid 19 is making a serious impact on the mental and emotional wellbeing of millions of men, women and children. Many people are now experiencing acute anxiety, and PTSD. Those who were already dealing with mental health issues are at a very high risk of developing PTSD.

My ideal client would be someone who just got out of DV relationship or is actively trying to leave. They need support and someone to hear their story and empower them. So many people are scared to tell their story or no one believed them, so being the first person to listen, believe them and understand their struggles is so powerful as a therapist.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
