For Survivors of Abuse

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
— Anaïs Nin

If you are experiencing abuse in your relationship, I want you to know:

I get it.
I understand.

And most importantly, I also understand the freedom that can come with healing from abuse.

Healing is possible.
I know this not just as a therapist but as someone who has walked the long, painful road of reclaiming her life. Through my own healing journey, I found hope — and built a life that feels meaningful and purposeful. Healing is powerful. It is life changing.

Why a Safe Space Matters

I know the possibilities that open when you finally have a safe space to share your story, find your voice, and sort truth from the lies abuse has planted about who you are.

Freedom begins when you reclaim your value, trust your own mind, and own your choices.

But I also know: not every therapist truly understands the complex experience of abuse — the slow erosion of self, the confusion of loving someone who was supposed to love and honor you back.

My passion is to support women who feel stuck, fearful, uncertain, or overwhelmed — whether you’re still in an abusive relationship, trying to leave, or healing long after it ended (including wounds that began in your family of origin).

What My Clients Often Feel

Many of the women I work with:

• have given and given but feel they can never “get it right.”

• walk on eggshells, trying not to trigger anger or conflict.

• have tried everything to feel better or fix things and have little left to give.

• juggle work, home, and caregiving with almost no support, feeling deeply isolated.

• are exhausted from keeping everyone else happy.

• feel overwhelmed and wonder, “How did I get here?”

• worry that something is wrong with them — that they’re “too sensitive” or “broken.”

• may have left physically but still feel stuck emotionally, unable to fully trust themselves or others again.

If any of this sounds like you, know this: you are not broken. You are surviving an experience that changes how you see yourself and the world. Healing is about reclaiming what was always yours.

What Freedom Can Feel Like

“Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.” — Jean-Paul Sartre

Freedom can look like:

• Walking this earth a little lighter after unpacking old, toxic stories that kept you small.

• Finding and honoring your own voice again.

• Seeing hope and possibilities where there used to be only fear.

• Feeling understood and valued — by yourself first, and then in your relationships.

• Living from a place of self-worth rather than self-doubt.

Healing is a profound gift to yourself — and it reshapes every relationship in your life.
