Abuse

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a modality primarily developed for trauma treatment. I have extensive experience working with clients with a history of abuse.

Sexual Trauma Narcissistic relationships Physical Abuse Verbal Abuse Emotional Abuse

As a psychologist specializing in issues of abuse, I utilize evidence-based approaches to assess and treat individuals impacted by various forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual. My expertise involves understanding the complex psychological effects of trauma and providing tailored interventions that promote healing and resilience. I guide patient through therapy by creating a safe, supportive environment where one can explore experiences, develop coping strategies, and heal.

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.

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.

Addiction and Substance abuse can leave the person suffering depleted and despondent with their repeated use and failures at staying sober. I believe addiction is a disease, but that does not mean there is not hope and a chance for the addict to take the right steps needed in their life to conquer their demons.

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.

Emotional abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, domestic, financial, and spiritual abuse all wreak havoc on your identity. You are not what the offender told you, you were. We can work to untangle those belief patterns with a deeper understanding of story-work.

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 those who have experienced religious and or spiritual abuse or have left a high control group or cult.

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.

Childhood wounds have a way of lingering with us in the present, and intersecting with the stories of those about us. I invite you to step into the earth in the presence of a kind and compassionate witness to find the understanding and healing your heart desires.

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.

Toxic relationships don’t always start that way, and leaving isn’t always simple. If you’re caught in manipulation, control, or emotional whiplash, I provide a trauma-informed, feminist, and somatic-based approach to help you reclaim your voice and autonomy. Whether you’re untangling from an abusive partner or healing from past harm, I offer nonjudgmental support—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling free.

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.

Narcissist dick or controlling, manipulative behaviors in others is not acceptable. Finding safety, security oh, and a place to fully express your feelings invaluable. I conduct ongoing support groups for like-minded people in toxic relationships with unpredictable partners.
