Private Coaching
Are you navigating the abuse of a coercive controller?
I've been there - I'm a survivor of coercive control.
And I'm also a highly skilled trauma-trained clinician and coercive control educator here to help. I want to offer you my commitment and personal promise that I will do everything I can to help you in your situation.
I offer one-on-one private coaching to victims-survivors, as do my associates. Whether you're escaping an abusive partner or parenting children harmed by a coercive controller / narcissistic abuser, or navigating the court system - we are honored to coach and support you.
Have Questions?
I know what it's like to feel powerless and trapped.
It feels like the world is falling down around you and you wish you could just blink and wake up. The thing is - it's not your fault. You are a victim of the insidious nature of coercive control.
In our relationship, I'll share the best strategies to support yourself and your children while you navigate this cycle of abuse and equip you to make the next best move forward.
