I work with people to evaluate their past so that they can be free in the present and future from the toxic core beliefs that happened to them and to learn how to shift out of the toxic core beliefs and learning how to be healthier themselves.

Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Abuse comes in all shapes and forms. However, mistreatment by others and emotional abuse can have insidious consequences regarding how we feel about ourselves and the world around us.
Ken Knoechel - Effective Mindset
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Right now, I imagine you are wanting your life back. Maybe you in a situation where you are experiencing emotional abuse, or maybe you have separated yourself from the controlling person. I can help you understand how to engage situations where you feel powerless, but I can also help you process previous experiences that have adversely affected your ability to function socially or intimately. YOU CAN AND WILL TAKE BACK YOUR POWER! It usually takes me about a month (4 sessions) to bring my clients to places that resolve resilience in their lives. You can expect good things after meeting with me for a while. I hope to see you soon.

Many times people have told me that being emotionally abused was harder to heal from than if they had been physically abused. When someone tears down our psyche and how we feel about ourselves the road to recovery is difficult and sometimes lengthy but the arrival at emotional restoration is incredibly rewarding.
