Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Indianapolis, IN
My clients are often the people who have spent years holding everything together while quietly struggling beneath the surface. They come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, burnout, shame, relationship challenges, or a persistent sense of being stuck. Many have learned to survive through people-pleasing, perfectionism, overachievement, or disconnecting from their own needs. Together, we explore the patterns that once protected them, build nervous system safety, strengthen self-trust, and create meaningful change so they can move through life with greater authenticity, connection, and ease.

Trauma impacts us in ways we can’t imagine. It affects human development and rewires our brain. I remember seeing the impact trauma from childhood had for my adult clients. I remember seeing elementary school children and the impact trauma has on their ability to develop healthy relationships. Processing trauma isn’t something you need to do alone. I can still remember meeting with a teen girl and seeing her relief after processing her trauma and expressing how much better she felt. Working through trauma allows my clients to feel relief and feel a decrease in their daily triggers.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating PTSD, complex trauma, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder.
I believe therapy should be more than a place to vent.

I’m not afraid to challenge clients when needed, helping them take accountability and consider new perspectives.

I feel honored to walk alongside you during your journey to holistic wellness. Often life’s circumstances redirect our desired purpose. Trauma is one such circumstance. A traumatic past often leads to unhealthy interpretation of the motivations of others. This often hinders fully obtaining and maintaining positive interpersonal connections. Could yesterday’s trauma unknowingly, and unconsciously keep you in a state of maladaptive feelings/behaviors such as low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, depression, jealousy, or perfectionism? Has your family of origin or upbringing created schemas that perpetuate these feelings?

As an adult trying to navigate this world, you may find yourself wondering why everyone else seems to have it all figured out while you are struggling. Maybe you can't connect with your partner or you feel labeled by your family and are struggling to find who YOU really are. You hear advice from all different directions and have tried so many different things and nothing seems to be working. You feel defeated- and now it has become a cycle that is just getting worse. Maybe you can't sleep well or you're feeling disconnected. Imagine waking up tomorrow and feeling like you had a better sense of direction. What would that feel like?

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.
