With specific expertise in trauma recovery, healing from abuse, navigating relationships, establishing healthy boundaries, and fostering self-love, I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood.
Many of us don’t realize just how much painful events from our past still affect our lives today. They can affect the way we interact with others, our communication styles, the people we choose to form relationships with, and even sometimes our health. Things that once didn’t bother you may now make you more emotional, angry or overwhelmed. This may be a sign that you are running out of room to stuff your feelings. Or maybe you feel as though you have lost yourself, or just feel stuck. All of us need help at one time or another. If you are ready, I would be happy to help you on your path to feeling better and improving your life.

It can be challenging for a child or teenager (heck, even us adults!) to process what's going on in their head and all the physical sensations they feel in their body. Children and teens often have a hard time expressing and understanding what they are feeling; like why their stomach hurts, why they are having trouble sleeping, why they are sad all the time, or why they don’t feel like they are good enough. This inability to process can lead to acting out, emotional dysregulation, physical ailments, and more. Children and teens need to be heard and provided the skills to cope with their life circumstances to feel better again.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise 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.
