You may be wondering what a counseling experience feels like. Let's begin by picturing counseling as a "walking alongside" relationship during a painful, conflicted, or confused time. As we begin talking together, your concerns, and your desires for counseling will lay the foundation for clarifying your goals for therapy. Often, a creative plan for removing obstacles in the way helps us get unstuck and moving forward quite naturally.

I believe that therapy is a cooperative process that requires a strong, safe, trusting relationship between a client and a therapist. I provide a warm, comfortable, and accepting environment in which one can explore a wide range of issues and concerns without the fear of judgment or reproach. I believe that therapy is an important tool for lasting change and, to be most helpful, it should be tailored to a client's individual needs. The ideal client is one who is interested in self-exploration, the possibility of change, and the time neccessary to achieve both.

I have a history of working in a not for profit setting with survivors of intimate partner violence.
I have come to recognize that much like plants and other organic, living things, our minds require consistent care and nurturing. Like plants, we show signs of distress due to changes in environment, unmet needs, or trauma. While plants may outwardly show distress with shriveled leaves, human signs of distress often start internally. They affect our thought process, level of functioning and quality of life. However, comparable to plants, humans show a great propensity towards resilience. It is shown that with a little guidance and care we can learn to adapt and even thrive in our environment.

Do you worry that you have a substance abuse or gambling problem? Are you a man do you struggle with balancing work, family and personal life. Do you feel alone and unheard? Societal expectations can discourage men from expressing emotions, leading to bottled-up feelings causing communication problems especially in relationships. Drawing from my background in criminal justice as a probation officer I bring a wealth of experience to our sessions around domestic violence, addictions and other legal issues.

Mental health needs may sometimes be overlooked in Primary Care today. Most PCPs may be too busy to ask the next question that will allow clients to open up regarding their mental health concerns. Mental health needs are growing by the minute and the second, with increased suicides and mental health breakdowns rising. Increased violence is becoming a common way of life in our society, related to minimal access to mental health services. Many people are searching for help. However, they do not know how to get there. The struggle is real.

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.
