Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals affected by domestic violence or intimate partner violence, I provide a safe and empathetic space for them to explore their experiences and emotions. Through therapy, we work together to address the impact of the abuse on their physical and emotional well-being, as well as their sense of safety and self-worth. I offer validation and support, helping survivors recognize that they are not alone and that the abuse is not their fault. Together, we develop safety plans and explore options for seeking support and resources, including shelters, legal assistance, and counseling services. Additionally, I help survivors process their trauma, rebuild their self-esteem, and establish boundaries in future relationships. My goal is to empower survivors to heal from the effects of domestic violence, regain control over their lives, and move forward with strength and resilience.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Domestic violence can profoundly affect safety, trust, and relational dynamics. I work with individuals and couples to carefully examine patterns of power and control and harm, address trauma responses, and rebuild clarity around boundaries, accountability, and choice. My approach supports survivors and couples in navigating healing, safety planning, and the complex relational work that may follow experiences of intimate partner violence.

Dr. Bridget Williams
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Love does not hurt. A simple statement for a complex issue. I began my clinical career working with individuals who experienced and survived DV or IPV. It can be challenging to even label your relationships as abuse due to the ways your abuser has conditioned you to think or perceive the fights. You may believe if you did or didn't do something, it wouldn't have happened. Together we can explore ways to get your safe, decide how you want to proceed in your relationship, and rebuild the parts of you that have be damaged or wounded by the abuse.
