Specialized experience: veterans, trauma, sexual abuse.
We all struggle with the inevitable trials of being human. You may be a parent or partner in a significant relationship struggling with connection, and in need of both practical and emotional support. At times, feelings of anxiety, apathy, and depression arise, and feelings of disconnection and loneliness can take hold. For others, we may be at a crossroads in our life, brought about by divorce, relocation, caregiving for a loved one, or a desire to have a bigger impact in our communities and the world. We may be asking ourselves BIG questions, “what’s next”, “what should I do”, and “what do I want from life”.

A trauma focused approach has been proven effective in treating clients with unique needs, such as those with histories of PTSD, abuse and neglect, exposure to domestic violence, and the like.
I believe that while nobody can go back and change the past, anyone can make a change and go in a more positive direction. It is never too late to embark on a new path. As your therapist, I will guide and assist you through a healing process that balances your emotional, mental, and spiritual being. My counseling technique is largely cognitive-behavioral, which means that that one's thought patterns contribute to feelings and behaviors, and in changing a person's thought processes, we can make improvements and achieve goals.

Reaching out is a victory! People seek counseling for a variety of reasons. Often, people seek therapy for the first time because someone close to them has suggested they get help. Others seek counseling because they have identified specific goals or issues that they wish to work on. Many people are struggling with common issues. Sometimes all we need is just a little help to navigate the challenges that life presents. What we ultimately learn is that life's obstacles add up to exactly what we needed to develop us into who we were meant to be. If trauma has invaded your journey, breathe.....help is here.

There is a quote floating around that goes something like "trauma is not your fault, but healing is your responsibility." Regardless of whether your suffering has been self inflicted or a result of someone else choices, I want you to know you have the power within you to rise up and transform. No one goes through life unscathed but without healing our pain gets transferred to many, if not all, areas of our lives. This can often look like depression, anxiety, shame, fear, addiction, etc.

Have you ever experienced a time in your life where you didn't feel like you had a voice? Not having a voice can be caused by several different factors. Ranging from experiencing past trauma, daily stresses of life (i.e. relationships, work, etc.), symptoms of depression, and anxiety. It can be difficult to get to a point in your life where its okay to speak your truth.

Whether facing long-term challenges or brief struggles, we all need connection and understanding. In my experience, a strong, collaborative relationship between client and therapist is the best agent of change in therapy. I often use cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic concepts (along with a healthy dose of humor) but everyone is different so the approach should match your personality and needs. I would love to help you increase understanding of yourself and others so your life can be more meaningful and satisfying!

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.
