Eunia is a licensed counselor who helps women and men in difficult and destructive relationships to heal and grow. She has witnessed the far-reaching impact of undetected and unrecognized abuse both personally and professionally, and has seen how difficult it is for those who struggle in this way to find the support and real help they need.
