I also have extensive experience in working with survivors of sexual assault and/or abuse.
Are you having a difficult time managing emotions or thoughts that you once thought were manageable? Many people experience trauma or other adverse life events at some point in their lives. I believe each person has the potential to be free from the burden of symptoms that trauma, anxiety, and depression can create. People often come to counseling unsure of what they want to be different but knowing that they would like something to change. I enjoy working with people trying to identify goals and those who already have goals in mind.

I also specialize in religious trauma and abuse, working with adults who have experienced harm in religious environments or other high control groups, and are seeking to heal from the damage of indoctrination: persistent feelings of shame and fear, identity confusion, loss of purpose, matters of sexuality/gender, and strained relationships with loved ones.
Hi there - I’m Kelsey. As a trauma therapist, I can help you process the impact of growing up with caregivers who were emotionally immature, distant, intimidating, volatile, abusive, or addicted to substances. Children who grow up in chaotic and unpredictable homes often find themselves struggling in adulthood. You may be experiencing feelings of emptiness, depression, low motivation, stress, anxiety, irritability, issues with codependency or inability to trust others, harsh self-talk, or numbing/checking out (dissociation). You may also suffer from fatigue, nightmares, or sleep issues.

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.
