Abuse

I specialize in providing support and guidance for individuals affected by domestic abuse, offering a safe and compassionate space for healing and empowerment. My approach involves helping survivors understand the dynamics of abuse, build safety plans, and navigate the emotional, psychological, and physical challenges they face. I use trauma-informed, evidence-based strategies to address issues.

Too many people are dealing with the effects of abuse, either as a child , as an adult in romantic relationships, or both. I can help you heal from the trauma of abuse, and teach you coping strategies and how create healthy boundaries, so that you can stop the cycle of abuse moving forward.

Abuse of any kind leaves lasting, and often invisible, wounds. When untreated, these wounds get passed through generations and spread through relationships despite our best attempts to stop the cycle on our own. If you are taking steps to actively heal your own wounds, you are not only healing yourself, but honoring the generations both before and after you, and protecting the relationships surrounding you now.

I am passionate about supporting those with trauma histories to re-discover their innate resilience. I have experience working with those who have experienced abuse, neglect, violence, and other traumatic events, often intertwined with contextual and societal factors such as racism and poverty. I integrate traditional talk therapy with body-based modalities and education to empower my clients.

Childhood wounds have a way of lingering with us in the present, and intersecting with the stories of those about us. I invite you to step into the earth in the presence of a kind and compassionate witness to find the understanding and healing your heart desires.

I've worked in the field of abuse for over 26 years. I have seen first hand how complicated and intertwined abuse and failure in adulthood are. Thanks to neurobiology and psychology technique advancement you can unlock all of that history and put it to rest. Make it a memory instead of a problem you face every day and struggle to overcome. Learning to trust yourself and the world is possible. Don't let the past dictate your future. You can take control of it.

I work with clients who feel broken, unlovable, and stuck. This is often the result of hurtful messages they received growing up that they continue to believe. Abuse often takes away self-confidence and leaves shame, self-doubt and self-hatred in its place. This self-loathing leads us to continue to hurt ourselves through toxic relationships, unsafe sex, drugs and alcohol, and self-sabotage. I can help you reclaim yourself and help you get in touch with your inherent worthiness.

I specialize in Narcissistic Abuse, Psychological, Emotional, and Verbal Abuse. Narcissistic Abuse is a paralyzing form of abuse. Tactics employed are psychological abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, gaslighting, love bombing, crazy making, narcissistic rage, betrayal and sometimes physical and sexual abuse. Victims of this type of abuse lose their true identity in the relationship. I empower clients to rediscover their true self and inner strength to overcome the abuse they endured.

I have worked extensively with child & adult survivors of emotional/physical/sexual abuse & violence. I am well versed in acute and post traumatic stress disorder and have developed and facilitated group curricula that focus on reducing isolation, guilt/shame and self-blame; building self-esteem, positive support systems and coping skills; and increasing a sense of mastery & personal empowerment. I am sensitive to guiding the process at a pace that feels most comfortable and safe to each person.

Abuse of any kind leaves lasting, and often invisible, wounds.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and have worked with trauma for many years. Abuse and trauma can have a huge impact on how you live your life and the safety lens with which you view the world. I work with patients to find a way to not let your trauma overtake you, so you are able to live in the world and interact in your relationships without the weight of your trauma holding you back. You are so much more than your trauma.

Toxic relationships don’t always start that way, and leaving isn’t always simple. If you’re caught in manipulation, control, or emotional whiplash, I provide a trauma-informed, feminist, and somatic-based approach to help you reclaim your voice and autonomy. Whether you’re untangling from an abusive partner or healing from past harm, I offer nonjudgmental support—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling free.

I have worked extensively with survivors of all ages who have endured emotional, mental, spiritual, physical and sexual abuse. Often the abuse took place within the context of a relationship (e.g. parents, a trusted adult, family member or friend) resulting in sometimes severe struggles with trust of both themselves and others as well as self-worth and self-respect. I have walked along side many survivors to provide hope and healing.

Victims of abuse feel like they have completely lost themselves. When you experience trauma, there are severe ramifications that impact your ability to function holistically in your life. As the confusion and disorientation of this experience sets in, you may feel alone, hopeless, and ashamed. You start to distrust your own healthy instincts and this leads to difficulty making decisions and people pleasing. Therapy helps rebuild your self-esteem and recover your self agency.

Addiction and Substance abuse can leave the person suffering depleted and despondent with their repeated use and failures at staying sober. I believe addiction is a disease, but that does not mean there is not hope and a chance for the addict to take the right steps needed in their life to conquer their demons.

Whether it was at the hands of a narcissistic parent or abusive partner, I specialize in helping clients overcome trauma resulting from interpersonal relationships. Using a combination of EMDR and talk therapy, we work together to calm that ever-present sense of uneasiness, regain a feeling of safety, and learn to trust in your own judgement. I am living proof that you can overcome abuse and trauma to live a rich and fulfilling life on your own terms.

Emotional abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, domestic, financial, and spiritual abuse all wreak havoc on your identity. You are not what the offender told you, you were. We can work to untangle those belief patterns with a deeper understanding of story-work.
