Have you or are you currently experiencing Narcissistic Abuse? As a formerly Victim turned SurThrivHER of NA, I get the horror you are living through right now. One day the guy is the “man of your dreams”, the next, he’s morphed into a lying, cheating, manipulative, demeaning man that you no longer recognize! You are feeling so down, depressed & hopeless that you struggle to even get out of bed in the morning. When you do get out of bed, you wonder what is even the point of living a life like this? You dread another day of walking on eggshells, rage, being told you're ugly, a terrible mom, & called all sorts of disrespectful names.

I help clients to "connect the dots" from their present problems (addictions, acting out behaviors, negative core beliefs, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts, substance abuse, obesity) to an unhealed, deeper issue that evolved during childhood or from a past trauma.
Are you unable to achieve the goals and dreams that you desire? Are you suffering from internal upset, fears, flashbacks of a trauma, insecurities, self-doubt, feeling unloved, disheartened or deep sadness? Are your relationships "not working", conflictual, "empty" and non-supportive? Do you think, "Why can't I make the changes that I want in my life and live the life I desire?" If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, contact me now. I know that I can be of service to you in a rewarding, life changing manner. It is time. YOU are worth it!

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.
