Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in West Chester, PA

I enjoy working with clients who want to get to the root of their struggles. These clients would like to gain insight into their symptoms, something difficult that has happened to them or to explore cycles and patterns that aren’t serving them. The clients I see often have attended therapy in the past. The clients I see also often present with attachment-based traumas, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and difficulties in their personal and work relationships.

Have you asked yourself the question, when will I be happy? Are certain parts of your life not "working"? Do the pressures of daily life make it difficult to relax? Are healthy relationships something you yearn for? If so, counseling may be an option. I have successfully assisted many people with these and many other concerns. Are you living the life you've envisioned? I can assist you with your journey by exploring the parts that may be preventing forward movement and, in the process, open the door to resolution and personal growth. Your level of success is limitless.

Do you find yourself struggling to regulate your emotions, communicate effectively, and express yourself assertively? Have you experienced a traumatic event that left you feeling hopeless, angry, disconnected, and isolated? Do you worry or ruminate to the point where you find it difficult to be present in your life?

My mission is also my greatest passion: to help you recognize how awesome you really are, and that you’re capable of anything you put your mind to (except maybe interdimensional travel, but who am I to stand in the way of destiny?) I want to help you evolve into the version of you who feels seen, heard, and understood; the one who feels confident, happy, and whole. I know that there are times where it feels like there’s absolutely no way that’s ever going to happen, because you’re just not the kind of person who’s capable of that. That’s rubbish, and I promise you that you can!

I can't say that I have an ideal client, as every client presents with their own unique set of strengths and challenges. I find myself drawn to clients whose lives have been significantly negatively impacted by the systems they belong to. Aiding clients with the tools and resources to work on breaking those generational cycles of trauma or poverty, is one of the most rewarding experiences I can have as a therapist. I truly believe that all clients have the ability to overcome whatever challenges they may be experiencing and achieve their personal goals. My only job is to help them develop the tools to do so.

I am a licensed clinical social worker passionate about helping adults who are grieving learn to accept the reality of their loss and to find balance and adjust to their new world. In grief, you are likely feeling overwhelmed as you swing along the spectrum of difficult emotions including despair, guilt, anger, hopelessness, irritability, and more. There is no right way to grieve, and together we will work narratively through the tasks of grief in a judgment-free, compassion-filled, virtual space where you can unburden yourself of all the difficult thoughts and emotions to restore balance to your whole self - mind, body & spirit.

Do you feel stuck and want to move forward into a life you love? I will help you on your journey to increase your self-understanding, learn new skills, and heal from past hurts. I specialize in trauma and use advanced techniques such as EMDR to help you process through your trauma and past hurts so that they stop negatively affecting you. If your thoughts or emotions are holding you back, I can teach you CBT and DBT skills to better manage them and help you regain control to lead you to a happier life.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing the tools and coping skills needed to manage struggles, build self awareness and enhance insight into the root cause of your internal discomfort. Building insight may involve discussing core beliefs that developed during childhood or within relational experiences and exploring how these impact your current thought patterns and behaviors. I specialize in treating women with perinatal disorders, infertility and relationship issues. I often work with individuals to enhance assertiveness, empowerment, and confidence

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Equestrian, Yoga Teacher, Student of Life... I am curious, interested, hungry for more...I am tattooed, spry, witty...I say these things not to brag about myself, but to simple put out the intention behind Pathways to Peace. I am not defined by a single aspect, of my life and neither are you! That being said, considering we are all unique beings with our individual needs, qualities and experiences, how is it reasonable to expect one to follow one path of healing, typically traditional psychotherapy and/or medication management?

I want to help you claim your best life! Helping people change has been my life's work for over 20 years. I utilize the best practices that help my clients live the life they want....not to avoid the struggle but to embrace it and triumph. While I have studied various forms of therapy..CBT, DBT, Family systems, etc., what I find most fascinating is the ongoing triumph of the human spirit over adversity. I would love to help you utilize the resources you have to successfully meet your life's challenges. "How can I be Helpful?"

I believe anyone can change. My role is to help you identify what you want to be different and to develop the strategies necessary to achieve these goals. I approach people from a non-judgmental mindset, treating them with respect and dignity. Many of the people I see struggle with major life altering events such as divorce and/or addiction. Many others have come from abusive environments, which interfere with their ability to form healthy connections with others. What these people often share is the feeling of being overwhelmed. By systematically reviewing the forces creating the difficulty, peace can be yours.

I am accepting clients ranging from fourteen years of age and older. I work with individuals, families, and couples. Although I have experience treating an eclectic range of concerns, ideally, my clients may be facing symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and PTSD. I have great expertise in treating dually-diagnosed clients, substance misuse, and mental health. The stress and hardships that come with these issues are often too much to handle on your own; please let me help.
