I have come to understand a lot about Narcissistic abuse, religious abuse and other forms of abuse.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate I have dedicated my career to helping people navigate the curve-balls life has thrown at them. The current COVID pandemic has created a whole new normal for people to navigate. I am here to be the safe place, for children and adults, to create new healthy coping techniques, increase self-esteem and create effective social skills.

I work with substance abuse issues and sexual concerns.
I believe that while you are the expert in your own life, that I can help you to expand your view of a problem and to find new possibilities for change. Whether the sessions are with an individual, couple or family, I view you, the client, as being embedded in various relationships. I believe that a person grows in relationships and it is my mission to help you resolve conflict, establish resources and improve relating skills needed to enhance the overall health of your life and your relationships. "To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there."

You avoid being around family members because they didn’t protect you the way they were supposed to when you were a child. The emotional and physical abuse weigh so heavy, that you carry the baggage every day. Maybe you were abandoned or neglected by your parents and were responsible for raising yourself and your siblings. Now, you’re an adult…and you are struggling in your intimate, social, and work relationships because of the trauma you’ve experienced. Do you find yourself in a toxic/abusive situation that reminds you of what you witnessed at a younger age? Uncertain how to resolve conflict? Maybe the fear of abandonment?

Have you ever felt seen? I mean really seen. Seen for everything you are. The rawness that comes with that. It makes us feel alive. Energy to engage, energy to connect, energy to contribute. I want to help you become a reflection of your highest self. I want to help you get to know you. I want to weather the storm of life with you, be there to see you in your most exquisite moments but also in your most broken. My biggest takeaway from therapy was how crucial the therapeutic relationship is: so much more work, growth, & healing can be done when you feel safe with your therapist, when you feel they really see you and understand you.

Domestic Abuse Therapists

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
