No one should have to navigate the complexity and pain associated with intimate partner abuse alone. Intimate partner abuse can leave us feeling traumatized, confused, isolated, destabilized, and ashamed. I have specialized in the area of intimate partner abuse for several years and strive to create a container of safety after the upheaval those with experiences of abuse have been through. Together, we can support you in feeling safe, regulating your mind and body, establishing healthy relationships, and increasing self-confidence and self-trust. I am familiar with the legal systems that some folks are navigating after these experiences and can provide information about resources available to you.

As a certified trauma treatment professional with specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support for survivors of domestic violence and abuse. I understand the profound impact that trauma can have on mental health and well-being, especially in the context of abusive relationships. I offer a safe and confidential space for survivors to explore their experiences, process their trauma, and work towards healing and empowerment.
Using evidence-based techniques like EMDR, I help clients address the complex effects of trauma, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. EMDR is particularly effective in processing traumatic memories and reducing distressing symptoms, paving the way for healing and recovery. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, validation, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey.
Survivors of domestic violence and abuse deserve compassionate support as they rebuild their lives and regain control. I am here to provide the guidance, tools, and resources needed to navigate this journey towards healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of self-worth. Together, we can work towards breaking free from the cycle of abuse and creating a life of safety, dignity, and empowerment.
