Psychotherapy is a treatment process which allows clients to have a one-on-one interaction with the therapist. It provides a confidential, safe and comfortable environment where individuals can explore their feelings and behaviors. We offer specialized treatment for Emotional Abuse Therapy.  

Emotional abuse is a type of trauma that can have long-lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. It involves consistent patterns of behavior from a person who seeks to control, manipulate, or demean their partner or loved one. Emotional abuse can take many forms, such as constant criticism, name-calling, belittling, withholding affection or attention, and even gaslighting. It is essential to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, to help them process their trauma and develop healthy coping strategies. I strive to provide a space to explore the impact of emotional abuse on your self-esteem, trust, and relationships, and work toward healing and recovery. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and you do not have to face emotional abuse alone.
