I have experience counseling clients reporting anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, adolescent adjustment, & relational issues ( domestic disagreements, infidelity & sexuality issues).
Are the dynamics of a specific relationship affecting other areas of your life? Or is something personal affecting your important relationships? Because relationships are the building blocks of life, they have the power to affect your happiness & well-being. It seems that creating a balance of love & trust between people in relationships enhances the individuals' hopes for the future of the relationship overall. Couple relationships function best when give & take is balanced & when relational fairness is made a priority. Other family relationships are similar & should also be fair & balanced in how individuals give & take & relate with one another.

Does anger have a grip on you? Anger is one of the two most powerful human emotions. When it controls you, the costs can be astronomical. The pain, shame, and regrets can be immense. Angry outbursts affect relationships, careers, and parenting. Maybe you think you're in control because you suppress it, but that can lead to depression, anxiety, suicidal and homicidal thoughts, and mood disorders. Consequences of anger can include arrest, divorce, broken relationships, and job loss. Health issues can occur, including high blood pressure, ulcers, and headaches. Loved ones often pay through abuse or destruction of their property.

I have had success treating everything from being exposed to violent deaths, assaults and a variety of abuse.
I am focused on helping people find the long lasting change in their lives they have been striving for. Many of us have had the experience of deciding what we need to do differently and struggle actually implementing that plan. I have confidence in people having the capabilities to come up with their own solutions provided the right support and environment. Trauma and impactful experiences can be barriers getting in the way of accessing or utilizing these solutions. Let's focus on creating the neurological changes you need to help you find the true long lasting healing you desire rather than short term solutions that fizzle out.

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.
