Hi! I'm glad you're here! It takes courage to reach out for support, and you’ve already taken an important first step.

Others are navigating the challenges of disability—whether their own or a loved one’s—and want a therapist who truly understands and affirms their experience.

Today’s technologically driven world can be quite challenging, chaotic, and may feel void of many of the personal relationships and emotional supports of the past. The growing rate of directly experienced and vicarious trauma is concerning and for anyone already experiencing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, relationship issues or family concerns, just getting through the day can seem overwhelming. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe haven where clients can explore not just their external realities but even more importantly their internal, emotional world leading to more connections and joyful interactions.

If you've been through something that changed how you see yourself, other people, or the world — and you've tried to move past it without being able to — you're not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do to keep you safe. The problem is that it's still running that program long after the threat has passed.
I work with adults who are done just managing symptoms. My clients want to understand what actually happened to them — in their body, not just their thinking — and to do the focused, structured work that changes how their nervous system responds, not just how they talk about it.

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.
