Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Virginia Beach, VA

I love supporting clients of all ages, infants to 99, in growing, healing, overcoming, and becoming the person they choose and need to be. With an extensive background in Special Education including a focus in Autism and Gifted and Talented, I incorporate a perspective on Human Development into my clinical practice. Areas where I do a great deal of work include Attachment (RAD) for foster care and adoption; Borderline Personality Disorder BPD; DID and Dissociation; Trauma; and Anxiety and Depression. We incorporate mindfulness and compassion with DBT, NLP, EMDR and Hypnotherapy into a gentle, integrated and supportive platform.

Sometimes, we get stuck in our lives and need assistance. These moments could be because of depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal conflicts, or behavioral difficulties. To help work through these moments, we may need a safe space to be open and honest with ourselves to help us gain the tools to change. I help you feel safe so we can actively work toward changing and resolving the concerns that brought you to therapy.

One of my favorite things to do is understand how people work. This drives my treatment approach to include deep exploration of symptoms to get to the root of maladaptive patterns. I believe long term change stems from understanding and processing how one’s past is currently influencing one’s present. This includes a focus on using self-reflection and self-examination to explore and change the psychological root of emotional distress.

I typically work with people who have experienced some type of traumatic event or events, either recently or from childhood. They are tired of being bullied by their own thoughts and emotions and not being able to experience a fulfilling life or enjoy intimate relationships. Being in Hampton Roads, I have worked with many military families who have their own unique stressors and traumas. I also love working with other mental health clinicians who may need their own support for managing mental health concerns, relational conflict, or coping with work-related burn out and compassion fatigue.

As a testing psychologist, I specialize in diagnosing complex mental health concerns, such as personality disorders (e.g. Borderline, Dependent, Histrionic, Paranoid, Schizoid, Avoidant), eating disorders, trauma, mood, and thought disorders. The personality spectra is my niche, and I especially enjoy coming alongside clients who are wanting to learn more about how their behaviors and drives affect relationships in their life. Utilizing multiple personality classifications (e.g. DSM, psychodynamic), I assist patients in having more insight into problematic personality patterns that reinforce other clinical conditions.

How do you manage rapid thoughts or intrusive thoughts? How do you handle past trauma or invalidation? How do you handle intense emotions? It's my calling to aid others in managing intense emotions, coping with trauma or invalidation, handling anxiety, and discovering their inner peace.

I believe that one of the biggest keys to success in counseling is the relationship between the client and the counselor.
