Thinking of leaving a relationship after experiencing abuse? Overcome by feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, confusion and distress as a result of past traumatic experiences? Are you having trouble sleeping, do you have feelings of self-hate and low self esteem? If you are struggling in an abusive relationship, now might be the time to connect with a therapist who can help. Let us work together to develop a safety plan, as well as a recovery plan to get you back on your feet.
My goal is to give you the tools to carry with you, so that you can transform your pain. Many people who experience present abuse have also had abusive childhoods. I address both. In the first stages of therapy you will learn to deal more effectively with the pain you are feeling, and also work on flashbacks, panic and self harm.
Healing is important because it: allows you to feel more in control of your life and entitled to your own thoughts and feelings; it allows you to develop closer relationships with others and free yourself from the traumatic past; you no longer have to relive it in nightmares or in your daily life. Lets work together to get your life back.
