Help
The crazy-making, gaslighting, and constant turmoil of domestic abuse isn't a one-time trauma. Domestic abuse seems to take away your very self -- your creativity, goals, thoughts, aspirations, friendships, finances, sense of self, independence ... the list varies from situation to situation, and goes on and on.
My goal is to help you reclaim your Imago Dei -- your true self, made in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27).

Hope
Even if you feel depleted, with a complete lack of physical, emotional, or spiritual energy, you can regain your true inner self after domestic abuse. And if you're Catholic like me, you may be wondering about the connection between the sacrament of marriage and the balance of self-giving vs. self-love (Mark 21:31), the possibility (or reality) of divorce, and the intricacies of a Catholic marriage annulment.
My mission is to make all of these issues totally clear so you can move forward with your life in a healthy, God-willed way.
