If you are experiencing pain from being currently involved in or recently leaving a toxic relationship, you do not have to navigate the devastation alone. It is incredibly overwhelming and isolating trying to make sense of the end of any relationship. That pain is only magnified when additionally being subjected to or experiencing: lying, gaslighting, criticism or belittling, blaming/shaming, explosive anger, withhholding, jealousy, decreased sense of self-worth, anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, questioning your reality, or loss of sense of safety and trust. Toxic relationships impact both your mental and physical health.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and relationships. I believe in using a holistic approach, integrating cognitive-behavioral and complimentary and integrative health interventions (such as mindfulness) that are evidence-based and short-term.
I am inspired by your story and dedicated to helping you write the next chapter. No one wants to be in treatment forever, so let's make your time count. You've got this.
