Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

I specialize in providing individual and group therapy for adults with borderline personality disorder, difficulties managing their emotions, PTSD, and self-harm/suicidal behavior. I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have completed intensive training in DBT through Behavioral Tech. I currently conduct comprehensive DBT for adults and co-lead DBT skills groups.

I have been active in the mental health field for almost 20 years. I believe that therapy is a process that focuses on balance in all areas of life. My practice has been open for 7 years and continues to grow. I work primarily with teenagers and young adults but also see adults and families. Areas of specialty include but are not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Grief and Loss, Borderline Personality Disorder and trauma. My framework of therapy is based off of DBT principles.

I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling and therapy at some point in their lives simply because no one has had a perfect life and we all struggle sometimes. I applaud your courage in beginning the process of reaching out for support. I want to create a safe space in which you can share thoughts, feelings and behavior without judgment and where together we can explore them further and develop strategies to change those that are causing problems and strengthen those that are helpful and working well. I have experience working with addictions, trauma, dissociation, borderline personality disorder, and mood disorders.

Navigating life’s challenges can be difficult at times. Are you in search of a safe confidential space to sort out these challenges with someone that you can trust? I strive to establish a comfortable environment where each person feels supported to become the best version of themselves. We can work together using your existing strengths. I have been in the field for the last 19 years providing therapeutic services primarily in a community mental health setting.

While I am not accepting new clients at this time, there are therapists in my practice who are. Feel free to call or visit our website for more information. Picking up the phone to call a counselor can be an anxiety-provoking experience. But as difficult as it can be to ask for help, I know from experience that it is well worth it to collaborate with a professional who understands you, genuinely wants to help you reach your goals and become the best person you can be. I look forward to establishing connections with individuals who are looking for practical, compassionate and effective solutions to their problems.

I am here for the individuals who may need extra help managing their thoughts and feelings dealing with relationships, stressful life events/transitions, or trauma. Sometimes we turn to unhealthy ways of coping, and I am driven to help people find adaptive ways of processing unpleasant emotions. I have a professional background in treating trauma symptoms and expertise in treating individuals struggling with depression, anxiety disorders, borderline personality disorder, codependency, and self-harm. I take the time to get to know the people I treat, so that one may feel comfortable enough to share things that are difficult to share.

I have worked with individual men and women dealing with a wide range of struggles. Some of the struggles that I have helped clients with include depression, anxiety, addiction to multiple different substances, borderline personality disorder and other personality disorders, and co-dependency. I also have a lot of experience working with couples as well. I have helped couples work through and heal from infidelity, addiction to various substances, conflict management, and improving communication skills.

I have always had a passion to work with children, families, couples, and individuals of all ages to help improve ones ability to change unwanted behaviors, build life skills, work through relationship issues, and have a life worth living by learning to flourish, improve well-being, and to be more self directed by enhancing positive emotions, accepting their limitations, self aware and letting go of their fears and conflicts.

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.

Do ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you cannot reach your goals? Do you find it difficult to manage daily stressors, or do mental health issues interfere with your plans? Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard we try, we cannot overcome our problems on our own. I am a mental health provider who can help you overcome those obstacles. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

As an adult trying to navigate this world, you often 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?

I value the counseling relationship and have a desire to practice with a client-centered, strengths based approach. I have a great deal of experience working with families, and specifically with children and adolescent clients. Life experiences also drive my clinical passions, including working with those struggling with difficult emotions and complicated family situations and relationships. My experience also includes working with pre-teens and teens struggling with emotional dysregulation and difficulty with communicating their thoughts and feelings effectively.

I believe clients are the experts in their own lives and my role is to empower clients to integrate what they already know with counseling resources to overcome the challenges they are facing. I use a postmodern approach to challenge perspectives that may be influencing feelings of being stuck, allow clients to have their story heard without judgement and build skills unique to their experience and needs.

I provide a setting inclusive of calm, supporting personal growth, reflection, and insight. I encourage the nurturance of hope as a factor of psychological wellness and respect the courage entailed in listening to one's inner voice while seeking to maintain psychological health. I have a sincere interest and passion in the emotional wellness and spiritual health of human beings. I appreciate the courage and resilience within the human spirit and the anguish that life experiences can bring to our inner core.

I enjoy working with anyone age 13 or older with struggles in the area of self-esteem, setting healthy boundaries with others, learning how to be self-respectful in words, thoughts & feelings, stress & managing anxiety as well as anyone who is healing from loss of either a loved one or pet(s). I also enjoy helping people during seasons of transition whether in young adulthood to increase independence or later years to adjust to decrease in independence resulting from illness, injury or the aging process. I especially enjoy working to provide faith-based struggles.
