Therapy that helps you breathe again
From emotional abuse to grief, addiction, and life transitions, therapy gives you space to process & tools to get through it.
Abuse, loss, addiction – whatever you’re here for, I’m here to listen.
If you’re here, chances are you’re exhausted. Not just physically, but in that deep, weary way that comes from constantly carrying more than your fair share. Maybe you’re barely holding it together, questioning everything, or just plain overwhelmed trying to get through the day. Grief, toxic relationships, parenting stress, life transitions – whatever it is that’s making you feel unsteady, therapy can get you back on solid ground.
Therapy for when “just get over it” isn’t working.
Maybe you’ve been told to “just move on,” to “think positive,” or to “co-parent better.” And maybe you’ve started wondering if you’re the problem.
You’re not. You’ve just been dealing with things that most people can’t understand unless they’ve been through it or worked closely with those who have. That’s where I come in.
Therapy with me isn’t about talking in circles or slapping a label on you and sending you on your way. Here, we have real conversations, find real solutions, and figure out what will actually help you get through this – whatever “this” is for you.
Therapy for emotional abuse, divorce battles, grief, addiction, and more.
I’m not just a therapist for narcissistic abuse, though I do handle those cases a lot. My general clinical practice is open to all sorts of challenges – big transitions, parenting hurdles, grief, or addiction. Below are some focuses that come up often in my individual and group therapy sessions.
Divorce, Custody Battles & Family Court Trauma
The legal system is brutal, especially if you’re dealing with a high-conflict ex. Maybe they’re playing the victim, twisting everything, and making you look like the problem. You’re not imagining it. I can help you stay grounded, protect yourself, and find a way through.
Therapy can help you to:
- Manage the emotional toll of a custody battle
- Cope with parental alienation and the arsenal of the batterer’s tactics
- Learn how to co-parent with a manipulative ex (or parallel parent if co-parenting isn’t possible)
- Set boundaries that actually work
- Deal with the gaslighting and legal system failures
Emotional Abuse & Narcissistic Relationship Recovery
You didn’t end up here by accident. Narcissistic abuse is confusing, exhausting, and often invisible to everyone but the person experiencing it. One minute, you’re their everything; the next, you’re questioning your own reality.
Therapy can help you to:
- Identify the patterns of emotional and psychological abuse
- Rebuild trust in yourself after years of gaslighting
- Learn how to set and enforce boundaries
- Free yourself from trauma bonds and break the cycle
- Figure out what healthy relationships actually look like
Grief & Loss
Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. It doesn’t come with a roadmap. And it sure doesn’t just “go away with time.” Whether you’re mourning a person, a relationship, or the life you thought you’d have, we can work through it together.
Therapy can help you to:
- Adjust to widowhood or life after a major loss
- Process the emotional toll of caring for an aging parent
- Understand the identity shifts that come with divorce, retirement, or big life changes
- Figure out how to move forward when you don’t want to “move on”
Anxiety, Stress & Overwhelm
If you feel like your brain never shuts off, like you’re constantly bracing for impact, or like the smallest decisions feel paralyzing, I see you. Chronic stress and anxiety don’t mean you’re weak – they mean your nervous system has been running in overdrive for too long.
Therapy can help you to:
- Learn how to regulate anxiety without feeling like you have to “fix” yourself
- Understand why your brain is stuck in fight-or-flight mode
- Release the shame around feeling overwhelmed
- Adopt practical strategies that actually help you get through the day
Life Transitions
Change can feel like a full-body shock, even when you saw it coming. Everything is different, and you’re left wondering, “Now what?” Let’s sort through the emotional mess, so you don’t have to carry it on your own.
Therapy can help you to:
- Adjust to losing a loved one
- Figure out what’s next after retirement, career shifts, or empty nesting
- Move to assisted living or help a parent transition
- Deal with divorce, separation, or relationship shifts
- Rebuild your sense of self after a major life event
Addiction & Recovery Support
Addiction doesn’t just affect one person – it shakes up entire families. Whether you’re the one in recovery or watching someone you love struggle, you’re carrying a lot.
Therapy can help you to:
- Manage early sobriety and relapse risks
- Understand the deeper pain behind addiction
- Help family members navigate the emotional toll of addiction
- Move forward – without shame, without guilt
- Learn how to build a life beyond survival mode

It’s time to put yourself first.
You don’t have to go through this alone – whether it’s grief, anxiety, custody stress, or trauma recovery, I’m here.
What you might be wondering.
If you’re here, you’re probably already asking yourself, “Should I do this? Will it actually help?” I hear those questions all the time, and I get it. Here’s what you need to know before taking the next step.
What happens in the first session?
It’s just a conversation. No pressure, no expectations – just a chance to talk about what’s bringing you in and where we go from here.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You don’t have to be in full-blown crisis to benefit from having a place to process things. If something feels off, therapy is worth trying.
What’s the difference between individual and group therapy?
One-on-one therapy is private and personalized. Group therapy gives you a chance to connect with others who are in similar situations. Some people do one or the other, some do both – it’s all about what works for you.
What types of therapy do you use?
My approach is eclectic, meaning I pull from different methods depending on what you need. I use trauma-informed, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based approaches, as well as EMDR and AEDP for trauma work.
Do you offer therapy for family court-related trauma?
Yes. I work with parents (especially moms) going through high-conflict custody battles, emotional abuse, and co-parenting challenges.
Do you work with people going through high-conflict divorces?
Yes. Especially when there’s emotional abuse, manipulation, or parental alienation involved. We work through the emotional toll, develop strategies for protecting yourself, and figure out how to co-parent when the other parent is being difficult.
Can therapy help with parenting stress?
Absolutely. Whether you’re struggling with co-parenting, feeling disconnected from your child, or just burnt out, therapy provides support and strategies to help.
How does therapy help with grief and loss?
Grief doesn’t just happen when you lose someone. You can experience grief after losing a relationship, a life chapter, or even a sense of who you were. Therapy helps you process and find ways to move forward, without forcing you to “get over it.”
How long does therapy take?
That’s up to you. Some people come in for a few months, others stay longer. We figure it out based on what you need.
