Relationships are complex. Maybe you wondered if your relationship is considered abusive? You wish your partner didn't say certain things to you or need to know where you are each moment. Maybe you survived a sexual assault attack in college but now during consensual intimacy you feel your body contract. Our bodies hold so much wisdom and they can help us feel safe. While counseling individuals in violent partnerships safety is our first concern but we know it's not always this black and white. Counseling can be a safe space for you to share your story. We can find tools that will help you feel safe, secure, and confident in your own body.

Before I was a counselor, I supported women following sexual assault encounters and in residential domestic violence settings. I understand the complex dichotomy of wanting the relationship to work and knowing it’s not safe. In counseling, our journey is always client-centered around your strengths, no judgment, and only support.
