Domestic Violence, Interpersonal Violence, Sexual Assault, Childhood Abuse
One of my specialties is addressing and processing interpersonal violence experienced in the context of romantic relationships, and /or domestic violence which may have been at the hands of a partner, or of family members such as parents, stepparents, siblings, and extended family members.
Abuse robs individuals of their sense of self including their trust in themselves, others, and the world in general. Therapy involves learning how these traumatic experiences have affected you psychologically, physically, and emotionally, learning coping skills to reduce your distress, discovering the mechanisms that allowed you to survive, and helping you to rebuilt trust in yourself and others.
Organizational Abuse and Religious Trauma
Sadly, organizational abuse is ramped, and the effects are devastating, especially when they also involve spirituality or religion. As with interpersonal abuse, the effects erode at your sense of self such that it is hard to trust your perceptions. When religious trauma occurs, it further undermines and destroys your sacred sense of self such that you question your standing with God and faith.
Therapy involves identifying and labeling experiences of religious abuse and learning about their effects. It includes challenging the core beliefs that have developed related to self, faith and God, and reevaluating spiritual messages used to coerce and manipulate against what Scripture says.
Compassion Fatigue
My other specialty is preventing and treating compassion fatigue in helping processionals. Compassion fatigue can happen when those who help traumatized individuals become themselves traumatized. It can lead to symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and eventually to burn out.
Therapy: As a certified Compassion Fatigue Therapist, I have been trained to identify and treat the various aspects of Compassion Fatigue such as Vicarious Traumatization, Secondary Traumatic Stress, and Burn-out. Although these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they represent different aspects of compassion fatigue. Therapy involves assessing where you land in each of these areas, as well as evaluating your strengths. We then would collaborate on what to address.

It takes a lot of hard work to create and maintain healthy relationships. It can be even more difficult when one or both partners have experienced trauma or may be neurodivergent. When there is a trauma history, the residuals from traumatic events can hijack the relationship and make it hard for partners to show up the way they want to. When there is neurodivergence, learning about how this impacts couples is key. In both cases, therapy involves learning about what is most meaningful to each of you, and to you as a couple. When there is trauma, it will involve learning about how the residuals may be showing up in your relationship and how to connect in more meaningful ways.
ADHD Assessments
Please contact me for a quote
Not everyone leans in the same manner. People are usually some combination of visual, auditory, or “hands-on” learners. When trauma is present, symptoms can mimic a learning disorder. Sometimes learning disorders are present on top of trauma. Gaining clarity of where symptoms come from helps to make sure you get the most relevant treatment. For example, trauma can cause problems with attention which may be viewed as ADHD. If this is the case, treating the trauma will better help to reduce the symptoms than treating you as if you have ADHD. I provide comprehensive ADHD assessments for adolescents and adults.

Good Faith Estimage
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
