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.
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.
If someone isn't treating you well, or if someone treated you badly in your past, you may feel so worn down that depression overwhelms you. Your self-esteem may be in the toilet and insecurities may rule your life. EMDR can be extremely helpful in recovering from the trauma of emotional abuse, and CBT can help you to recover your sense of self.
