Meet Our Professional Team!

 Hi, I'm Dr. D. 

For more years than I care to admit, I was stuck in a life of trauma to the point that I re-traumatized myself. 

I broke the annoying cycle of traumatic fears from my sexually, emotionally, and physically abusive past. I broke the cycle of toxic behaviors and relationships that led to the fear of abandonment. I use assertive communication and behaviors personally and professionally (thus, the name Azz-ert Urself!®) to keep healthy boundaries and ask for what I want in relationships.

As the founder of Azz-ert Urself! ®Inc., I use my years of experience, training, and clinical research to help my clients get "unstuck" from their current mental barriers shaped by their traumatic pasts.

I am ready to assist you with re-writing your story to transform 

from victim to VICTOR.
