Abuse

I have extensive experience and knowledge on abuse and trauma. I utilize trauma focused therapy that incorporate psychoeducation, emotional regulation and narrative therapy to achieve each persons individual goal.

I've worked in the field of abuse for over 26 years. I have seen first hand how complicated and intertwined abuse and failure in adulthood are. Thanks to neurobiology and psychology technique advancement you can unlock all of that history and put it to rest. Make it a memory instead of a problem you face every day and struggle to overcome. Learning to trust yourself and the world is possible. Don't let the past dictate your future. You can take control of it.

I understand what experiencing trauma feels like and I am here to show you how to get your happily ever after. I help you see that your mental healing is more than just exploring your emotions. It’s also connected to your self-awareness, mindful desires, spiritual, and physical health. I am committed to seeing all of you changed, not just your mind and emotions.

Narcissistic, controlling, or manipulative behaviors in others are not acceptable. Finding safety, security, and a place to fully express your feelings is invaluable. I conduct ongoing support groups for like-minded people in toxic relationships with unpredictable partners. I utilize EMDR therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to treat painful experiences and trauma. We don't like the word abuse, yet emotional manipulation and gaslighting are abusive. We may feel trapped in a loop.

I worked at a non-profit for domestic and sexual violence survivors for the first several years of my career, wat which time I was trained in crisis counseling and safety planning. I now utilize these skills along with EMDR and other approaches to process various types of abuse.

Victims of abuse feel like they have completely lost themselves. When you experience trauma, there are severe ramifications that impact your ability to function holistically in your life. As the confusion and disorientation of this experience sets in, you may feel alone, hopeless, and ashamed. You start to distrust your own healthy instincts and this leads to difficulty making decisions and people pleasing. Therapy helps rebuild your self-esteem and recover your self agency.

I am passionate about supporting those with trauma histories to re-discover their innate resilience. I have experience working with those who have experienced abuse, neglect, violence, and other traumatic events, often intertwined with contextual and societal factors such as racism and poverty. I integrate traditional talk therapy with body-based modalities and education to empower my clients.

I am a Certified Trauma Professional and I know personally how trauma responses (unconscious, overwhelming and extreme emotions) are so unhelpful in relationships. They can undermine our resiliency and keep us stuck in repeating patterns that do not serve us. From an IFS point of view, these are often young parts of ourselves carrying burdens that can be healed.

Training in Abuse and Trauma extends back to graduate school where I took a number of courses and also completed a practicum at a Center for abused children. Over the years, many of my clients worked on histories of trauma and abuse to get to a more healed and happier life.

I work with clients who feel broken, unlovable, and stuck. This is often the result of hurtful messages they received growing up that they continue to believe. Abuse often takes away self-confidence and leaves shame, self-doubt and self-hatred in its place. This self-loathing leads us to continue to hurt ourselves through toxic relationships, unsafe sex, drugs and alcohol, and self-sabotage. I can help you reclaim yourself and help you get in touch with your inherent worthiness.

Abuses comes in many forms, toward the self, other, and the planet. I have extensive experience with narcissistic abuse, substance abuse, the misuse of psychedelics, eating disorders and verbal/emotional abuse.

I specialize in Narcissistic Abuse, Psychological, Emotional, and Verbal Abuse. Narcissistic Abuse is a paralyzing form of abuse. Tactics employed are psychological abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, gaslighting, love bombing, crazy making, narcissistic rage, betrayal and sometimes physical and sexual abuse. Victims of this type of abuse lose their true identity in the relationship. I empower clients to rediscover their true self and inner strength to overcome the abuse they endured.

Whether it was at the hands of a narcissistic parent or abusive partner, I specialize in helping clients overcome trauma resulting from interpersonal relationships. Using a combination of EMDR and talk therapy, we work together to calm that ever-present sense of uneasiness, regain a feeling of safety, and learn to trust in your own judgement. I am living proof that you can overcome abuse and trauma to live a rich and fulfilling life on your own terms.

Too many people are dealing with the effects of abuse, either as a child , as an adult in romantic relationships, or both. I can help you heal from the trauma of abuse, and teach you coping strategies and how create healthy boundaries, so that you can stop the cycle of abuse moving forward.

In therapy, we create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, validated, and empowered. Our work focuses on addressing the emotional, physical, and psychological impacts of abuse while helping you regain a sense of control and wholeness in your life. Confronting abuse is hard, but living the life you deserve is absolutely worth it.

Abuse of any kind leaves lasting, and often invisible, wounds. When untreated, these wounds get passed through generations and spread through relationships despite our best attempts to stop the cycle on our own. If you are taking steps to actively heal your own wounds, you are not only healing yourself, but honoring the generations both before and after you, and protecting the relationships surrounding you now.
