Online Therapy for survivors of trauma, abuse & toxic relationships

Leaving an abusive or toxic relationship can be one of the hardest challenges in life. Recognizing the trauma you have experienced – and its impacts on your life – can be even harder.

Let me start by saying that I am so proud of you for being here. You are resilient and deserving of love, care, and connection. I would be honored to help support you.

If any of this sounds familiar, you may have experienced a toxic or abusive relationship:

  • “I feel like I lost myself in my relationship.”

  • “I’m always afraid that people are going to hurt me again.”

  • “I can’t stop thinking about everything that happened, and it feels like I’ll never get over it.”

  • “I feel so angry and sad. I will blow up on others in my life. I don’t know how to express those feelings without feeling guilty or ashamed.”

  • “I keep getting into the same relationships. I don’t know how to break the cycle.”

  • “I feel crazy, and I’m afraid of being judged.”

Right now, you might be experiencing anxiety, trouble sleeping, emotional numbness, guilt and shame, or difficulty maintaining relationships.

Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself, like you don’t know who you are now that you’ve left the relationship.

Maybe you are experiencing flashbacks, intrusive memories, or nightmares.

Maybe you have trouble setting or maintaining boundaries in any relationship, often prioritizing others’ needs over your own.
