Effective, Personalized Support for Healing from Trauma: Addressing Hidden Abuse 

Hidden abuse is often mislabeled as a “bad divorce.” Hidden abuse can occur within a relationship or after the relationship has come to an end.

“The Mother Corp. is the trauma-informed service we wished we’d had when
we were going through separation, divorce and hidden abuse.”

What is Hidden Abuse?

Hidden abuse is fundamentally about control, and coercion. Also known as invisible abuse, non-physical abuse, gender-based violence, post-separation abuse, or high-conflict situations and disputes. It can take many forms, many of which are invisible, unrecognized, and unacknowledged. Friends and family may want to support you, though they may not be able to comprehend the complexity or be able to “see” the subtler forms this abuse takes.

Hidden abuse is traumatic. Symptoms can include:

Being coerced​

Feeling exhausted

Traumatizing experience

Being controlled

High parenting conflict

Feeling overwhelmed and depleted

Feeling isolated

Financial abuse

Diminished self-esteem

If you, or a person you know may be experiencing hidden abuse in a relationship – or after leaving a relationship — The Mother Corp. is here to help. 

Our Founder’s Story

You are not alone. I’ve been there, I understand, and I’m here to help.

Personalized, Effective Help

I specialize in skilled trauma-informed support for people experiencing

hidden abuse that involves:

 

  • Control and coercion

  • Navigating complex systems

  • Systemic and institutional misuse and abuse, including bureaucratic paperwork overload

  • Financial and economic abuse and rebuilding economic security

  • High parenting conflict including parenting through trauma

 

My trauma-informed separation and divorce coaching services, including parenting coaching, and co-parenting support services are developed alongside people who have experienced divorce and hidden abuse, many of whom have used existing services and helped shape our current offerings. Our collective experiences and understanding of this complex and nuanced terrain has helped our processes bring relief, empowerment and access to valuable resources for our clients.

 

I am not a lawyer, therapist, or financial planner. I simply complement your lawyer, therapist, and financial planner and offer my knowledgeable trauma-informed support. When we work together, I help you process, clarify and communicate so that you are more efficient and effective with your professional legal team.

"Our first conversation was an hour or two and it was in the beginning phase of separating from an abusive relationship.  I felt unrecognizable to myself because I was in such a low and wrecked state full of fear, grief, rage (with nowhere safe to express it)...
