Psychological trauma occurs when our level of stress exceeds our ability to cope with that stress. This often creates a dysregulated nervous system (stuck in "fight-or-flight" survival mode) that can leave us with anxiety, depression, ADHD, memory issues, confusion, dissociation, PTSD & CPTSD, or just feeling "stuck." I specialize in working with women who have been the target of domestic violence or narcissistic abuse from men. This type of abuse is sometimes difficult to see clearly. You may wonder if this is your fault or even have thoughts that this is what you deserve. I'd like to help you find clarity in all of this.

If you find yourself feeling stuck in an emotionally and/or physically abusive relationship, or you have not fully recovered from past abuse, I'd like to help you. I'm a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC) and I use EMDR therapy to help my clients process and heal from the many symptoms that often develop from abusive relationships.

We are all recovering from the past in some ways, but the future is yours. You have come this far to find my information. Let's take the next step together. You can have a better life. You deserve a better life. I'd like to help you achieve that life. Email me today.

I specialize in working with women who have suffered abuse from men, and have specific training in treating those who have complex trauma symptoms from narcissistic abuse from men. I've worked with abusive men, but I believe my niche is working with those who have suffered the abuse. I typically use EMDR therapy to help my clients find clarity in their thinking, recover, and heal.

In the 1st few sessions, my clients and I complete assessments for anxiety, depression, PTSD & Complex PTSD (CPTSD), and clinical dissociation. My clients often show symptoms of CPTSD, so we use eye movement desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR) along with elements of other therapies like somatic experience. We also work to use more intentional selfcare techniques consistently.
