Many of the trauma-survivors I work with tell me that the most damaging aspect of their traumas were the many negative messages that they received about themselves from abusers. Emotional abuse often leaves deeply rooted self-doubt and self-loathing in its wake. I use some of the best evidence-based trauma practices available to help survivors of emotional abuse identify and challenge these negative messages, in turn increasing self-confidence and optimism.
Have you been impacted by childhood abuse or narcissistic abuse as an adult? I am glad that you are on the road to healing! Through evidence based approaches, you and I can work together to change identify, heal and change old patterns of thinking, feeling and relating to reorient towards your own wellbeing and growth as an individual.
I help survivors understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, including how manipulation, gaslighting, and other tactics are used to exert control and power over them. By recognizing and naming the abusive behaviors, survivors can begin to dismantle the internalized beliefs and self-blame that often accompany emotional abuse.
As a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma recovery, I provide a safe and validating space for individuals to process their experiences, rebuild their self-esteem, and learn healthy coping strategies. Together, we'll work towards breaking free from the cycle of abuse, reclaiming your inner strength, and cultivating a life filled with joy and fulfillment.
