Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Brookfield, WI

My ideal clients are adults and teens who possess one or more of these personality traits: high sensitivity, emotional intensity, or giftedness (above-average intensity, drive, complexity, and empathy). If this sounds like you, you may feel like you don't fit in or belong in the world and wonder about life's meaning and purpose. You experience many deep emotions throughout the day that no one else seems to understand, leaving you feeling lonely, guilty, ashamed, or depressed about your thoughts, behaviors, or coping methods. You may be asking yourself, "What's wrong with me?"

I am a psychoanalyst and licensed psychologist with a practice focused on helping people live fuller, happier lives. Oftentimes, people may look fine on the outside, yet feel longstanding dissatisfaction and unhappiness on the inside. Many therapies and therapists take a directive approach to treatment, focused on telling a person how to reduce their symptoms of distress through specific recommendations. However, many people seek my services when their symptoms return after completing such treatments, as they continue to find themselves in unhappy patterns and emotional unrest.

I am inspired by those who have overcome adversity in their lives and who are learning to work through their challenges, even when it is difficult. I specialize in working with adults, couples and adolescents facing depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, co-occurring disorders, mood disorders, anger and relationship issues.

Hello! My name is Abby and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and see if I would be a good fit as your therapist! Are you feeling like you are stuck, anxious, need a change, or doubting your self? Have you ever wanted someone non-judgmental to talk to? I know exactly what you're feeling: everyone has their opinions on decisions you make, just doing life is hard, constantly feeling on edge. All of these can be true AND let me see if I can help navigate some of that. Living in our society right now is really hard and I hope to collaborate with you to make living life a little easier.

Understanding that the mind, body, and spirit all play key roles in your well-being, I use a person-centered, integrative therapy approach that focuses on all areas of your life. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental working environment in order to establish a positive rapport and trusting, therapeutic relationship.

I specialize in evaluating and treating teens and adults with mood and anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, and symptoms related to trauma, pain, illness, or injury. I also work with families and couples to resolve communication, relationship, or other issues. Research-based techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and other strategies help you develop a deeper understanding of your situation, build coping skills, strengthen self-esteem and self-confidence, and improve your overall well-being.

In today’s world, we’re taught the answers to our problems are found in titles, marriages, appearance, material objects, outward success, or money. No matter the ailment, there’s something to chase that’ll make you whole. Modern notions of happiness confine us because, deep down, we know the satisfaction eventually fades. As we become disillusioned to achievement, consumerism, & the newest health fads, we begin to long for something real. This disparity between our true needs & the contemporary recipe for fulfillment leaves us feeling empty.

Life, circumstances, and a vast array of experiences can seemingly bar us from achieving our full capacity. I believe at times we even unknowingly stand in the way of our own success. As a practicing clinician, I am passionate in helping individuals overcome what holds them back. I approach my work with enthusiasm and vibrancy working with individuals highly motivated to enact lasting change and to better understand themselves on a deeper level. I provide therapy rooted in a compassionate, genuine, and grounded connection to assist in uncovering and creating your best life!

As a Psychologist, I am committed to helping individuals, couples and their families live life to their fullest as God intended! I believe that much of counseling is helping people see the price they are paying to protect themselves from past pain. That cost; joy and fulfillment.

My approaches include: 1) working toward understanding how your life experiences have come together to bring about your current thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and life circumstances; 2) using concrete and structured homework assignments to help you achieve your goals, resolve relationship issues, find greater happiness, and develop greater control over anxiety, depression, or anger; 3) discussing philosophical and existential aspects of life as they relate to your concerns; 4) providing support and empathy when life brings you hardship or pain; and 5) helping you to articulate your needs, desires, and goals, and to develop plans and solutions to help you satisfy them.

I provide counseling services to individuals (15+) and couples seeking to address challenges they are facing and have a desire to make changes in order to enhance and improve their mental, emotional, and physical health and wellness.

Individuals who may feel stuck in life, who wrestle with depression, anxiety, past trauma, and other mental health needs, are looking for relief, for hope, and for a new way of doing things. People want to feel heard and valued, they want to know that they matter and that their experiences are real. We all have an innate desire "to know and be known."

If you feel that it is time for you to have a trained professional to help you with your healing journey, I will be honored to offer you my knowledge and experience. I help people feel more integrated and whole after surviving trauma, so that they can live to their fullest potential.
