I specialize in treating relationship behaviors of abuse, power and control, coercion, and overall unhealthy dynamics in romantic relationships.
My work specializes in individual and couples therapy for those experiencing conflict in their relationship. I anticipate sessions with clients speaking from a position of "rightness" early in therapy with a smooth transition to deepened listening while recognizing personal missteps and growth considerations. As a client, you will be expected to be the main character in your narrative and over time place less change demands on the supportive roles in your life. You will speak with purpose and listen with the intention of learning to step into the next chapter of your relationship with yourself and your partner.

I hope to support clients as they move from disconnection and chaos towards connection and stability. I work with folks who may have experienced stressors such as relational issues, suicidal ideation, addiction, spiritual abuse, neglect, or multiple forms of trauma. My clients are primarily ages 16-35, though I welcome all those aged above who are seeking a compassionate companion to walk alongside them as they seek to heal. I'll be with you through the painful and challenging work towards internal and relational healing, which may look like increased regulation, consistency, felt safety and choice.

Even the strongest minds can still get smashed by life. Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, chronic stress can come from any number of sources, trauma makes them worse. Job loss, hospitalizations, car wrecks, and difficulties with loved ones, can leave one feeling decimated and alone. You might feel like you’re walking around chronically stressed. Anger can get explosive, or you may feel numb, dazed, or flat out not sure what to do. But you do know what you have going on right now isn’t right. Therapy can help you overcome these problems.

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.
