I work with adolescents and adults to help them overcome obstacles in their lives. Abuse and trauma, when untreated, can have a chronic negative, lifelong impact. When that is the case, we work on what is currently bothersome, while processing old trauma and determining any relationship between them. Transitions such as moves, change of schools/jobs, divorce, etc. can cause various amounts of emotional upheaval and it can make all the difference in going through such a transition or processing leftover feelings from one to have a place to talk in a safe setting with an experienced therapist.

I believe in using a client-centered and strengths based approach to help inform the work we do together. I will work alongside you to develop a realistic treatment plan to help you reach your desired goals and outcomes.

I believe that everyone is in the process of change. We have worked to become whe are now, and we will continue to grow into ourselves. That is why I do not judge people, but instead help clients to accept and appreciate their struggles as a foundation for healing. Very little shocks or surprises me, so I am particularly well-suited to issues of sexuality and personal expression and associated issues of shame and fear. I also have an affinity for those with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, grief, and couples' issues. My primary method is Cognitive-Behavioral talk therapy.

We can easily feel stuck in life and not sure of the right way to turn. There are ways to remove the roadblocks while increasing your empowerment and self awareness. But where do you start? Finding the right therapist can be difficult. I strive to create a warm and welcoming place where you can feel safe, cared for, and valued, while providing you with strategies to meet your needs. I have been told that I am realistic, down to earth, and that I create an environment where you can feel comfortable opening up.

Life is everchanging, and we go through different seasons and transitions, often being asked to access our resilience and coping skills to navigate our path in the moment. Having to face life transitions can sometimes feel anxiety provoking and scary, but also can be transformational and exciting. Starting from where you are, and looking forward, we can craft your next chapter of your life, while challenging thoughts or unproductive coping mechanisms that you’ve become accustomed to and past narratives or stories that might keep you stuck or feeling undeserving of a joyful peaceful life.

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.
