Emotional abuse can feel like, "it hits you from behind." Sometimes taking years to fully realize its impact. Whether from childhood or adulthood, emotional abuse can leave you struggling with self doubt, feeling flawed, incomplete, not good enough. It can cause internal conflict where you may have even lost trust in yourself. The goal becomes to heal the inner conflict by addressing the parts of you that are wounded. To create unity inside where a sense of acceptance and self compassion is restored, or created.
Welcome and congratulations on taking this first step to heal and change.
With empathy and in a safe space I will empower you to think of your circumstances and struggles in ways you may not have thought of on your own. Collaboratively, we will find solutions that will have positive outcomes.

It is not uncommon for people to be able to identify physical and sexual abuse, but to downplay the resulting emotional dysregulation and/or trauma of psychological, emotional or narcissistic abuse.
Creating a safe and supportive environment to begin the healing work following emotional abuse is a priority for me in my work with clients. I know first hand the impact emotional abuse has on one's ability to engage in relationships and I want to help people regain trust in themselves to identify and maintain healthy relationships with others. Working on boundaries and personal values is a key part of this process as well as exploring underlying traumas and abuses.
