When your child struggles, you feel his pain as your own. At first, you thought he was just an emotional kid, but now you’re beginning to worry something deeper is going on. His sudden outbursts at school and inconsolable crying at home leave you at a loss. You and your husband are physically and emotionally exhausted. His teachers and schoolmates don’t understand his behavior, and you’re afraid he’s becoming isolated. You want to ensure he has the tools and communication skills because your family can’t go on like this. If he has an underlying issue, you want to ensure he has the proper support to navigate it.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or out of control—often due to trauma, grief, chronic stress, or depression. As a trauma specialist, I help clients navigate the lasting impact of difficult or high-pressure experiences. Many of my clients are first responders or in demanding roles where they’ve had to stay strong for too long. People come to me when anxiety, emotional numbness, irritability, or feeling disconnected begins to affect their work, relationships, or daily life. I provide practical tools and support to process trauma, reduce anxiety, and help you feel more in control again.

Feelings and emotions, ugh. They can make or break our day sometimes. It’s ok though, let’s talk about it. Life is hard, but you don't have to do it alone.

You lay in bed at night wondering if your partner will ever see your pain. You feel alone, unimportant, unappreciated. You do not feel the love you once felt. Now it feels like you are just roommates. You try to talk with your partner about what is bothering you. But your partner either misses your pain or it turns into an argument. The two of you just end up further apart and more alone. You know you cannot do this anymore. The pain is too much.

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.
