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.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or the weight of trying to hold everything together on your own. You don't have to navigate those experiences alone. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and accepted while also being challenged to grow in meaningful ways. My approach is supportive, direct, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a safe environment where you can explore difficult emotions, develop practical coping strategies, and build on the strengths you already possess.

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? Maybe you’ve started to wonder if the problem is you, even when something deep down says otherwise. I help people make sense of painful or confusing relationship experiences, heal the wounds they leave behind, and rebuild trust in themselves. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what happened. Many of my clients come in knowing only that something hurt.. That’s enough to start.

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.
