My goal is to connect with my client and to help person achieve his/her goals.
All I have asked from my clients is that they are willing to try. Try to be open, try to be honest, try to receive feedback and work towards goals not previously identified. I've observed individuals that arrived at therapy after they have attempted various strategies, only to find that these efforts have not helped them feel, think, or act as they had hoped. Throughout our work together, I have seen clients make the changes they want and need for themselves. If you were hoping to try to change the way you are thinking, feeling, or responding to stress, I have the training, experience, and creativity to help you reach your goals.

As a certified narcissistic abuse recovery clinician and attachment trauma treatment specialist, I support individuals as they untangle the effects of toxic relationships, rebuild self trust, and develop secure, fulfilling connections
Do you constantly second guess your own feelings? Have relationships left you feeling confused, exhausted, or like you were never enough, no matter how hard you tried?

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.
