WHAT IS INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE
Intimate partner violence, also known as IPV, is any form of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse from someone you are dating, a partner, or spouse. No matter the form of abuse you experience, they all have negative impacts and can be challenging to navigate.
"My practice style incorporates a strength based approach emphasizing support without judgement. Initial visits focus on learning your story, identifying protective factors, and goals for therapy."
