Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Lisle, IL

I aim to provide an empathic, relaxed, and secure therapeutic space where you feel safe to freely explore your inner world and take risks in the outside world. One may have relationship difficulties, be depressed or anxious, experience trauma, or just feel incomplete and want to expand their self-development. Some people's everyday coping strategies stop working as well as they once did. Others may find themselves repeating distressing patterns in their lives or feeling something's wrong, unable to verbalize or comprehend their pain. We will work together to make sense of your experience through insight and emotional understanding.

If you are here, you are already demonstrating the strength and willingness to improve your life and well-being. I will empower you to take the next step towards healing past wounds, let go of patterns that no longer serve you and address and improve upon relationship issues. I will support and empower you through your journey in finding growth and healing through both challenges that have been ongoing for years or more recent struggles or traumatic experiences.

I love helping people to overcome barriers and find strategies to achieve success in their lives. I foster a client counselor relationship with an environment of total acceptance for the individual, and believe that the client counselor relationship is very important. I value the experience each individual takes with me in therapy. I assist clients to take action in their lives based on their own values and believe that everyone can increase psychological flexibility and decrease psychological suffering. I work with clients to find ways to grow into the person they want to be by using therapy to facilitate positive changes in their life.

We all need help at times - someone to talk to and/or someone to help us learn better ways to achieve the life we want, whether it's to cope with depression, anxiety or past traumas, or learn better ways to communicate. I will provide a safe, supportive environment in which you can talk about your thoughts and feelings, and also learn healthy skills to better manage your emotions and have better relationships. I will provide you with caring feedback and perspective. I will provide a non-judgmental, compassionate, caring relationship because I know that the relationship between the therapist and the client is an important one.
