”It wasn’t that bad.” “Other people had it worse.” “It made me stronger.” “I'm better because of.." Do these statements sound familiar? The statements you use to tell yourself that what you’re really feeling and thinking, below the surface, aren’t right. The way you have navigated the world is savvy and it is exhausting! Maybe you’ve walked through another therapists' door, sat on their couch, and years later find that those “old” things keep coming up again. You are strong for everyone around you and on the inside you feel fragile and weak. I love working with the one’s who “have everything together“ and yet they don’t.

Therapy can offer more than symptom-reduction, altering your life's trajectory. Those who contact me tend to need help to face fears, abandon rumination/worry, confront painful feelings, deal with difficult people, resolve grief, navigate life transitions, restore a sense of safety/trust, and process disaffection and alienation. I am likely a best fit for those who believe their thoughts/feelings/actions originate from their (lack of a fuller) understanding of themselves & others, such that a process of self-discovery will drive growth and change. I may be less appealing to those primarily seeking advice, strategies, coaching, etc.

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.
