Trauma is a lasting emotional response resulting from experiencing one or more distressing events that can change our sense of safety, sense of self and the ability to self-regulate, navigate daily interactions and relationships. For almost 20 years I have worked with survivors of sexual trauma, abusive relationships and intimate partner violence. Since 2016 I have been practicing individual and group therapy with survivors and I have used various therapy modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) to process traumatic and adverse experiences that aids in reaching an adaptive resolution.

When I was younger, I didn’t know how to communicate my feelings and felt frustrated by potential mischaracterization. After I had my first child, I had a difficult time navigating through postpartum depression. I started asking questions and researching mental health while finding virtual support groups. Through this process, I realized that I had s never been alone in my personal issues. When I was pregnant with my second child, I went back to school for social work to become a mental health professional to serve people in my community to help navigate through anxiety, depression, grief, and intergenerational traumas.

Making a difficult Decision is often stressful and can produce strong emotional reactions. You may rationally know the right answer but cannot follow through in actions. You may even act in a manner that is contradictive to "the right answer" or inconsistent with whom you are. Simple awareness of this does not equal change. I provide a neutral setting where you can explore the various aspects of yourself and gain understanding of all the Dynamics involved. Making Goals as well as methods to achieve them is the road towards success.

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.
