RELATIONSHIP BASED VIOLENCE
Throughout our lives, we form relationships with our friends, family, significant others... It can be further complicated when you feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells, drained during your encounters, or even experience violence - not just considering physical or sexual, but can also encompass emotional, psychological, cultural, religious, or other forms of coercive, controlling, or manipulative behaviors.
Relational violence often leaves the same kind of stuck, hypervigilant imprint as other forms of trauma. Having worked with individuals who have experienced domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and sexual assault or violence, I have helped survivors process these experiences and take back control of their life. I draw on trauma-informed approaches, including parts work, EMDR and the Four Blinks Protocol, to help you feel safe and grounded again at whatever pace is right for you. I have also helped those struggling with use of violence, anger, or aggression in their relationships, who are ready to take responsibility, find healthier ways to move forward and improve their relationships.
I use a client-centered approach, guided by empathy and respect, to support you through those difficult situations and enhance your safety. You are not alone.
