Abuse

I'm currently in the process of completing a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment course in the process of becoming a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC). I know that pop psychology has taken over words like "narcissism" and "abuse", and I aim to provide clarity on and validate your experience. I will meet you from a nonjudgmental place of empathy and help you find ways to strengthen your voice and live life with healthy relationships.

Confidential counseling services are provided for individuals and families to support those who have experienced various levels of trauma resulting in life long challenges. Because trauma changes brain development especially in children, individual therapy is provided with children and educational counseling is provided to parents to ensure parents attain the necessary tools needed for nurturing and meeting the child right where they are.

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.

I specialize in Narcissistic Abuse, Psychological, Emotional, and Verbal Abuse. Narcissistic Abuse is a paralyzing form of abuse. Tactics employed are psychological abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, gaslighting, love bombing, crazy making, narcissistic rage, betrayal and sometimes physical and sexual abuse. Victims of this type of abuse lose their true identity in the relationship. I empower clients to rediscover their true self and inner strength to overcome the abuse they endured.

Are you in a relationship with someone where when it's good it's great but when it's bad it's painful? Has the person you love been conflictual, rigid, antagonistic, volatile, and entitled at times? Emotional abuse is real!! There is hope!

I have worked with abuse survivors for over 25 years and am uniquely qualified to understand the psychological, emotional, relational, and spiritual effects of abuse.

I have a past working in child welfare in both a hospital setting and in the home. I attended multiple trainings through the GABI (Group Attached-Based Intervention) program.Through the program, I learned how to facilitate and promote healthy attachment between child and parent. Clients that participated in this program had difficulties with housing instability, mental illness, domestic violence, and other difficult life circumstances.

I specialize in providing support and guidance for individuals affected by domestic abuse, offering a safe and compassionate space for healing and empowerment. My approach involves helping survivors understand the dynamics of abuse, build safety plans, and navigate the emotional, psychological, and physical challenges they face. I use trauma-informed, evidence-based strategies to address issues.

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.

I have extensive experience working with survivors of abuse, including harmful relationships, childhood trauma, and neglect. Abuse—whether physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual—deeply impacts self-esteem, trust, and relationships. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where survivors feel safe to explore and heal from these wounds.

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.

Abuse can come in many different forms. Many times, we don't even realize that we are in fact, being abused until further down the road. Healing from the effects of abuse does not mean you have to connect to that person in the future. It seemly means, you know longer feel the waves of thoughts, emotions, sensations, and pull in a backwards direction in life.

I am trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy, an evidence based treatment for children from birth to about age 5, who have experienced abuse, neglect, domestic violence, or other significant stress. CPP also supports families where the parent may be struggling with their own mental health issues or own history of trauma, helping bring awareness to how it shows up in their parenting and relationship with their child. The goal is for the parent and child to develop or maintain a secure attachment.

Often times people say that the trauma that is the result of abuse is something we must "learn to live with". This is absolutely not true. I provide cutting edge treatments for trauma. We do recover.
