Abusive Relationships

It just doesn’t feel right.

It’s not that the love is gone. It’s just that the fights are so terrible, and the distance between you so great.

The words cut deep, and the scars seem to be getting worse – so bad that you’ve started to question everything you do, wondering whether or not you’ll set your partner off.

And it’s lonely.

You’re isolated.

You’ve stopped seeing friends. You don’t talk to your family the way you used to.

And you’re afraid to talk about what’s going on in your relationship. People wouldn’t understand.

You’re out of answers.

You’ve tried your best to make things better, to make peace, to get along. But it always seems to end badly.

Somehow, you end up being blamed, browbeaten, and criticized.

The last fight was terrible. You could have sworn you were about to get smacked.

This isn’t how it’s supposed to be.

You’re tired of walking on egg shells.

The fights aren’t the worst part.

The worst part is not knowing when it will happen again.

Sometimes it feels like it’s not so bad – like you can give it another try. But that’s wearing thin, and you feel guilty about wanting to give up.

And then the tension builds, and you’re back to feeling ashamed, embarrassed, scared, and alone.

You feel like you’re going crazy.

This isn’t how people love each other. And this isn’t your fault.

My approach to healing from an abusive relationship starts with healing the shame.

Together, we can break the cycle of secrecy, isolation, and self-blame that has you in its grip.

With years of experience working with couples locked in a cycle of abuse, I help people suffering find hope, healing, accountability, and forgiveness.

There’s something more out there.

Love. Freedom. Safety. There’s something better. And you can experience it.
