Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Milton, GA

Life's emotional challenges can sometimes interfere with our ability to maintain a productive and fulfilling life. It can be difficult and frightening to reach out for help. But you have already shown strength and courage by taking the first step towards a healthy and balanced life. With a focus on strengths rather than weakness, I am motivated to help clients recognize how their past experiences are connected with their current concerns. I am passionate about helping individuals heal from their traumatic experiences. Trauma hides in plain sight and disguises itself in many forms.

I serve as a counselor to help men, women, couples, families, and teens find hope, healing, and growth. I see it as an honor and calling to come alongside of someone who needs help in discovering the way forward.

Are you worried that your teen daughter is stressed or depressed? Are you frustrated with the lack of communication or defiant behavior? Are you concerned about your teen's difficulties in regu? Modern teen-hood for girls is a very difficult time in life, one that needs a specific set of coping skills. The rise in peer pressure, competitive conflicts, and unhealthy social media messages are all likely contributors to a national increase in anxiety, depression and low self-worth in girls. Counseling can help teen girls to improve decision-making, managing stress, and learning coping strategies to better set them up for future success

I have been in private practice since 2009 and have extensive counseling experience with individuals and families, specializing in depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse. In my work with clients, I provide a non-judgmental, protected space that allows you to process your thoughts and emotions.

When change or crisis happens, it can be an opportunity to look at problems in different ways and in the context of your life.

As a Nationally Certified Counselor, I rely on evidence-based practices like Brainspotting and Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (M-CBT), to help children, adults, and families heal from the past, find stability in the present and hope for the future. My training and experience includes working with the effects of trauma (PTSD) and stressful experiences (e.g. emotional and sexual abuse, affairs, divorce, family conflict, grief, work stress, medical etc). I also work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, gender and sexuality, OCD, Maternal Mental Health, self-harm, behavior disorders and Insomnia.

When you look at your life you can’t believe this is where you are. You live in constant fear and anxiety because you can’t control yourself or the people around you. You don’t know who you are anymore. This isn’t the life you dreamed for yourself or your family. You feel desperate, alone, and scared because you don’t know what to do any more. You feel overwhelmed and need someone to help you figure out what direction to go in.

It can be difficult to navigate life stressors with the everyday bustle of life. Sometimes those stressors grow and become larger problems that seem unmanageable, overwhelming, and you may want to give up. Working with you through these crises and getting life back on track is exactly what I would like to do for those who need it most. Living your life worth living is my goal and getting you to that goal is the center of a therapeutic relationship with me.

Are you struggling or feeling stuck? Are you having difficulty creating the life you have always imagined? Do you feel that despite your best efforts it is never enough? I fundamentally believe that we are all doing the best we can at any given moment, that we are innately driven towards positive growth and that sometimes we need help along the way. I find it an honor to walk beside my clients as they navigate their journey towards increased hope, enhanced life satisfaction, greater spirituality and sustainable peace.

Our Practice: We’ve been hearing for years from clients about how their previous therapist was a good listener, but they didn’t feel like they made much progress. While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. We believe what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. Additionally, we provide psychological evaluations for children and adults looking for diagnostic clarity to guide treatment recommendations.

My mission as a counselor is to meet every client where they are in their journey of life with the hopes of being able to aid them with tools to navigate appropriately through life. I use a holistic therapeutic approach with the overall goal in mind to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves regarding their spiritual, physical, mental and emotional well-being, coupled with approaches ranging from Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy.

Difficult situations can be worked through with proper care and support. Being an open-minded and empathetic therapist creates an environment of trust and partnership with clients to tackle any challenge that may arise. Honest expression within a session is key to making progress and feeling better; I provide a supportive and open-space where there is no judgement. Empowerment gives you the confidence to make decisions that positively affect your life. I provide a safe place to share, vent, cry, adjust, brainstorm, plan, and heal. My ultimate goal is to help each client achieve a sense of well-being and life satisfaction.
