Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Fort Wayne, IN

I work with a variety of individuals 18 and older, especially those suffering from psychotic conditions, including schizophrenia; sexual abuse and assault; and dissociative and personality disorders (borderline, schizoid, obsessional). I have treated physicians, nurses, clergy, military personnel, teachers and academics, but I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds, including other therapists seeking their own treatment. I enjoy working with anyone wanting an exploration of their mind in order to find deeper freedom in their inner life and an increased capacity to bear life's sorrows and its joys.

My ideal client is someone struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), or substance abuse. They need effective support to manage their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and address personal barriers. Their goals include achieving emotional stability, improving self-worth, and building a balanced life. They seek understanding and compassionate guidance to gain control over their challenges and work towards a fulfilling, hopeful future. They want to overcome their struggles and create a brighter path forward.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist who is also a member of the LGBTQI community and a strong advocate for Human Rights as well as the concerns related to the LGBTQI community. I believe that when individuals feel unbalanced they experience more struggles in their lives. The mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects must all be given attention so that balance in all facets of a person's life can be more easily obtained. The process of therapy is meant to help guide and encourage the client to address current and past issues that may be causing an individual to struggle to gain personal balance and happiness.

It can take a lot of courage to schedule your first counseling session. The therapeutic process involves vulnerability. This might feel pretty intimidating if you’ve lacked a safe space to process your feelings in the past! However, beyond the field of intimidation lies a place of personal empowerment through the therapeutic process. Unprocessed trauma can often leave us feeling paralyzed in a suffocating shadow of our past. Every room in our head might appear dark & without direction. We may even begin to develop distorted perceptions of ourselves and the world around us; which can lead to a lack of clarity & peace.

I have already counseled my ideal client. I worked with a client who came to me in her most significant time of need. She was ready to put in work and wanted to develop.

She is happy and healthy and uses her experiences to help others.
