I have experience in issues of domestic violence, relationship problems, substance abuse, disabilities, adjustment disorders as well as anxiety and depression.
Seeing a therapist does not mean that you are mentally ill. At some time or another, every one experiences life’s difficulties, often resulting in feelings of anxiety, confusion, guilt and even hopelessness. Frequently, Friends and family cannot provide the needed support or the confidentiality found in a therapeutic setting.

My motto is "life is short." So why not learn how to live your best life? Life hits us hard. Some of us have had difficult childhoods including being bullied or abused by adults that we trusted and loved. Some of us have had losses; whether one loss or several, you're never the same after. Some have difficulty with all of life's changes; graduation, starting a new job or relationship, a move, beginning a family, marriage or divorce. These difficulties can turn into symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic and even feelings of hopelessness. Whatever you are experiencing, I am here to help and walk your journey with you.

Finding a good therapist is no easy task, especially online where your options seem as endless as your Netflix suggestions. The search can be daunting and exhausting - particularly when you're trying to just find someone who will understand and respect you. Being vulnerable with a stranger is scary and I applaud you for taking the first step in finding someone who can help you feel more "you". Therapy is not cookie-cutter or black and white. It can take time to find the right match, and I truly hope that I can be that for you!

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.
