Domestic Abuse Therapists in Vienna, VA
Sports psychology (equestrian sports in particular), infertility, anxiety, narcissistic abuse recovery, trauma, and executive or entrepreneur coaching are special interests.
Are you in an unhealthy relationship? Is it hard for you to set boundaries? Do you have difficulty making decisions? Doubting yourself or feeling like an imposter can make tough times (and decisions) even tougher. I can help you explore and develop a greater understanding and appreciation of your authentic self. Our bodies do keep the score, so it’s vital to connect mind and body. Unprocessed trauma can block that connection. Once our nervous system is regulated, everything seems to fall into place: Anxiety decreases, as does pain perception, while resilience is strengthened and cognitive and creative capabilities are enhanced.

When life gets overwhelming, it can feel like you are stuck, facing an endless cycle that you wish could change. Experiencing gridlock in your own life or in a relationship can be stressful, frustrating and lonely. Sometimes in the moment, it can seem easier to ignore/avoid the issues that are challenging you until you are faced with them again; and other times you can’t stop thinking about your challenges. It can also be difficult or painful to tolerate watching your loved ones struggle, or make decisions you think are not in their best interest. Over time these stressors can cause you to experience negative thoughts and feelings.

I work with clients who feel emotionally 'stymied' and who have lost their sense of purpose in life, which leaves them feeling anxious, hopeless, and depressed. Often
this is the consequence of childhood 'trauma', loss of a loved one or job, or life stage.
This malaise is typically associated with relationship difficulties and challenges with their spouse/partner, children and family or at work. My work centers around exploring early attachment to parents and adolescent formation of self-esteem/self-worth, and finding ways to restore the sense of purpose and to reevaluate the client's self-narrative in ways that are adaptive.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who have experienced sexual harm, coercive control, intimate partner abuse, childhood abuse, and other forms of interpersonal and relational trauma.
You survived something that changed the way you move through the world. Maybe you second-guess yourself, struggle to trust others, feel disconnected from your body, or wonder why you're still affected by experiences that happened months or years ago. You may look like you're functioning on the outside while privately struggling with holding it all together.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and healing is possible.

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.
