I specialize in Anger Management, Depression, Anxiety, Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse, and Couples Counseling.
All the self help books in the world won't help if you don't know how to apply what you have learned.

I am a solution focused therapist and my goal is to help you find the best quality of life, knowing in the end that most people are searching for love, peace, and happiness.

Well if you're reading this, something hurts. I have found that not everyone needs counseling, but everyone deserves it! It's a tough world out there and sometimes we just need that neutral third party perspective to gain some different insight and get some answers. I'm not much into a bunch of theory because I prefer to attack the presenting problem and go from there. I like giving tools and techniques to use to battle whatever is going on. I am a very "how to" therapist and don't spend time with small talk. Let's roll!

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.
