If you've experienced sexual abuse (rape, childhood sexual abuse, sex trafficking) you've likely noticed changes in how you think, feel and act. Maybe you believe that you deserve what happened or that you should have done something to stop it. You may see the world as a dangerous place and struggle to trust. Perhaps you feel on edge, hypervigilant and out of control of your emotions - or maybe you don't feel them at all. You can't sleep, relationships are tough, you feel haunted by your memories. Sex and intimacy... what sex and intimacy? And it feels like nothing you've tried works. Sound familiar? It doesn't have to be this way.

I understand the countless ways that sexual traumas change us and know what therapies can be effectively used to treat your symptoms. By blending trauma-focused therapy with specialized training in sex and couple therapy, I offer a well-rounded approach to supporting individuals, couples and all relationship structures throughout their healing journey.

Please know that your symptoms are NOT a life sentence. When things have been hard for long, or if therapy didn't help in the past, it's natural to doubt that things can improve. For now, I'll believe they can for you. Eventually, you'll believe it too. Get in touch for a consultation if you want to explore how we can get you there.

I work extensively with survivors of sexual abuse (rape, incest, trafficking, childhood sexual abuse) around trauma processing and offer sex therapy. This is the area I love to learn about and work with. I promise that no topic is too "taboo" or off limits. So much suffering happens when we live in shame, I want to help you release that shame, begin healing, and find joy in life and relationships.

Don't worry - you don't need to know what therapy is most appropriate for you. When we start working together we will explore your background, challenges, and goals and I will tailor a treatment plan to suit your needs. I will incorporate one or more of the forms of therapy listed here. If the plan doesn't sound exactly like what you're looking for, we will tweak it until it's right.
