You do not have to be alone; healing and peace are possible. Each Client has incredible worth and value. Through a safe, nonjudgmental setting and partnership, you can share your burdens and offload the weight on your shoulders. Whether your struggle is trauma, anxiety, depression, or life/relationship issues, healing can happen by helping you get to the root of your concerns and empowering you to overcome them. Especially for Clients who have trauma from experiencing abuse tactics such as gaslighting, manipulation, and any violation of boundaries, I hope to validate your experience and help you claim your life back.
I specialize in Complex Trauma/Trauma and Abuse Recovery such as narcissistic parental, spousal, and spiritual abuse for individuals, couples, and families. I also help Clients with OCD anxiety/scrupulosity. As a parent of a special needs medically fragile child, I help parents and caregivers navigate struggles that come with parenting exceptional children.
The best thing you can do is invest in yourself. You are allowed to take care of yourself and seek what you need to heal and grow. Even if you are feeling stuck, with kindness and self-compassion, there is a way forward where you don't have to be small. I encourage you to reach out and start or continue your journey.

Groups
Emotional Abuse and Recovery Group

This group will help identify emotional manipulation and abuse and how to recover from these types of relationships. Perhaps you have dealt with a Narcissistic parent or partner, or someone who has continually gaslighted you and caused you to question yourself, or you find yourself in a toxic relationship where you no longer feel like yourself. Regardless of what you have dealt with, we can find a way to learn and empower ourselves and heal to become a fuller version of ourselves.
