INDIVIDUAL THERAPY for TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS IN NV & AZ
Rediscover who you want to be… outside of who he says you are.
YOU FEEL TORN BETWEEN LOVING HIM AND HATING HOW HE TREATS YOU.
But you can’t deny the toxic patterns you’re stuck in have harmed more than they’ve helped.
Maybe you’ve tried to look past the yelling, the name-calling, the (hopefully) empty threats—telling yourself it’s “not that bad,” or that every couple has arguments. Or maybe a part of you knows the relationship has crossed into something unhealthy, but it’s hard to imagine life without him. Friends or family have had enough of seeing you treated this way, and now you’re left facing the decision of what to do next on your own.
MAYBE YOU…
Feel like you’re always walking on eggshells, being careful not to set him off.
Have been called a bitch or a cunt so often that it feels normal now.
Noticed that your fights have gotten more intense—maybe even physical.
Worry no one else will love you or put up with you the way he does.
Have family or friends who’ve stopped listening because they can’t stand to hear about him anymore.
Saw something on Instagram or TikTok about gaslighting or narcissism and thought, “...Oh shit, that’s me.”
YOU DESERVE A LOVE THAT DOESN’T FORCE YOU TO SHRINK OR HIDE.
HOW I CAN HELP
TOGETHER, WE’LL GET REAL AND START SEEING THE STORY OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP MORE CLEARLY.
I’ll always listen without judgment, but I’ll also reflect back things I notice that might be hard to name on your own. We’ll look closely at the dynamic that plays out between you and your partner—the yelling, the ultimatums, the moments you feel small—and talk honestly about what those patterns are costing you. I’ll invite you to reflect on what drew you into the relationship in the first place and what has kept you there, even when it hurts. We’ll explore your family of origin, too, to see how early experiences may be shaping your choices now.
From there, we’ll talk about what healthy communication actually looks like, and what boundaries you’ve tried (or avoided) so far. If part of you wants to leave, we’ll look at what safety and support would be necessary to make that possible. If part of you wants to stay, we’ll talk about what it would take for the relationship to feel workable—and whether your partner is able or willing to meet you there.

FAQS
QUESTIONS?
-
I primarily work one-on-one. If we decide it could help, I may suggest bringing your partner in for a couple of sessions—but my main focus is supporting you in getting clarity and making safe, healthy choices.
-
If you’re constantly walking on eggshells, being called names, threatened, or made to feel like you’re the problem, those are strong signs. In therapy, we’ll talk through your specific experiences and help you name what’s happening without minimizing it.
-
No. It’s not my job to tell you whether to stay or go. What I will do is gently point out unhealthy or harmful patterns and help you decide if the relationship is workable for you. If it seems like you are in immediate physical danger, I’ll recommend resources to help you find safety and urge you to do so to ensure you’re not in harm’s way as we continue our work.
-
That’s okay. Therapy is a place to build your confidence and explore what you really want. Even if you decide to stay for now, you’ll learn tools and boundaries that can help you feel stronger in the meantime.
-
Gaslighting is when someone makes you doubt your own reality, often by denying things you know are true or making you feel “crazy.” If you feel like you’re always second-guessing yourself, we can look at those patterns together and name them for what they are.
-
“Narcissism” gets thrown around a lot online, but at its core it describes patterns where someone lacks empathy, needs constant validation, or uses manipulation to stay in control. What matters most isn’t the label, it’s how their behavior makes you feel. If you’re constantly walking on eggshells, being called names, doubting yourself, or feeling like your needs never matter, those are red flags worth paying attention to. In therapy, we’ll talk through the specific patterns in your relationship and help you decide what’s healthy, what’s not, and what you want to do about it.
-
Sometimes, with real change and commitment, unhealthy dynamics can improve. But sometimes they can’t. In therapy, we’ll sort through whether the relationship feels workable or whether leaving is the safest, healthiest choice.
