Domestic Abuse Therapists in 49441
I've worked with women in trauma who have survived domestic violence and sexual abuse issues.
I enjoy working with clients whose life may have been a bit bumpy. I can relate to your imperfections; I have them too! If you’d like to share your story with me in a nonjudgmental environment, we can work together to find healthy perspectives and ways to move forward. I like to build trusting relationships with my clients, it may feel like we’re sharing a cup of coffee together, we may laugh at times too. Feel free to share your thoughts and other life experiences that may not have been so easy. Perhaps we can flip some of the self-talk that you told yourself throughout the years that wasn’t flattering to you or even true.

Along with working with couples and sexual addictions, I also work with individuals in areas of trauma, sexual abuse and ADHD.
Life can be difficult at times and often we struggle to navigate those challenging times. Marriage and trauma difficulties, in particular, can be very personal and often leave us feeling extremely confused and lonely. As a therapist I use the Gottman Method Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy to assist couples. I work with my clients to identify a specific cycle of conflict, identify and express personal longings, increase level of intimacy, and put trust/commitment back into relationships. I also use EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore, educate and empower those with trauma and each person I come in contact with.

Let’s be honest, life throws some serious curveballs. School stress. Job burnout. Family drama. Relationships. Grief. Lonliness. Anxiety. Problems that seem unsolvable. I understand what it’s like to feel stuck. You might not even know where to start. I became a therapist because I truly want to walk alongside your journey and 100% support you. In particular, I specialize in underserved communities (minorities) due to my own negative experiences receiving “help” from professionals who weren’t helpful. Shifting from frustration to empowerment, I want to be a positive light and advocate to help you build life-changing skills and hope.

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.
