In my 40 year career as a clinical social worker, I have gained extensive experience in developing, effecting, and managing therapeutic approaches for individuals and families who bear the damage of sexual abuse. I am prepared to offer help for many problem areas but I give special emphasis to male and female adults and youth who have committed, or are at risk of committing, or have been the victim of problematic sexual behaviour, This includes clients with special needs such as intellectual disability. I also support families with safety planning for child protection cases or with family resolution/reintegration.

Trauma therapy. Although you can't heal past trauma on your own, I believe I can help you. I have more than ten years experience dealing with trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, and sexual assault. I'm a former hospital chaplain for the Emergency, Intensive Care, and Burn Units, and I've written about trauma (including an invited paper) for major psychology journals. Academic articles have cited me over 4,000 times.

The body keeps the score. I help trauma survivors live full, and connected lives. I have many years of experience working with survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, as well as harmful, abusive, or neglectful childhood experiences. Trauma may impact your self-esteem, or create relationship issues, anxiety, alienation from the body, feelings of being disconnected from yourself and others. A central focus of my work has been supporting clients impacted by trauma without the lens of pathology. That’s to say: there’s nothing wrong with you at all. Your way of being in the world was developed as means of protection.

I have worked with multiple types of trauma, including sexual abuse.
Are you looking for a safe space to be able to share your thoughts and feelings without judgment? Have you experienced trauma in your life, including sexual trauma(childhood sexual abuse, sex trafficking, sexual assault)? Are you a sex addict or betrayed partner? I work with clients with trauma and addictions(sex, porn, drugs, alcohol). I also offer couples therapy for those who are struggling or need help. I also work with First Responders (police, fire, paramedics). Partners of First Responders often struggle and need support.

When you have experienced trauma, your whole system can feel challenged day to day. You might struggle with persistent anxiety, feelings of shame and hopelessness and have a bleak outlook on the future. You can feel exhausted by your circumstances and truly at a loss for how to change or heal. Trauma impacts your thinking, your happiness, your quality of life and your joy. You can often find yourself engaging in behaviours that don't serve you, trying to numb out or manage the pain. It can feel hard to get close to anyone. It can be so hard to trust yourself, or other people. I completely understand, and I help people change daily.

Hello, and welcome. I'm happy you're here. We move through the world as a sum of our experiences. Some of these experiences have made us feel unsafe, unsettled, or even unappreciated. It’s difficult to live and move when you don’t feel right in your own skin. Do you have goals, plans, or needs that aren't addressed? Let's look at them together. I'm straightforward and compassionate in my approach. I'm convinced what matters is authenticity and being real together while holding space for tender work. American Psychologist Stephen Porges has said “feeling safe is the treatment and creating safety is the work”.

Sometimes life presents challenges and struggles that signal us that it’s time for internal and/or external change. Change isn’t always easy and it can be hard to let go of what no longer serves us. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with past trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, or transitions that have impacted how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Sometimes we need some help to navigate the journey and find our way back to ourselves. You don’t need to do it alone.

The clients I serve in my practice are first responders, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

Through my work in psychotherapy, I have come to believe that even within the most difficult experiences and circumstances, each individual has a truly profound capacity for resilience and meaning. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment that allows clients to explore and heal from past trauma, learn and practice slowing life down to foster intentional living, prioritize strengthening connection in their relationships, as well as to identify and cultivate their unique strengths.

I've seen the self-doubt, suffering and pain that comes from unexpected and challenging situations life presents us. As your therapist I will provide a warm, authentic, and encouraging space to be curious about what is causing you to suffer and ways to help you live a more meaningful and rich life.

I am registered psychotherapist and I have practiced for over 30 years primarily with post-secondary students. As the former director of Counselling & Student Development at King’s University College, my role included providing therapy to students and supervising the therapy team. I have extensive experience counselling and supporting people who identified as having disabilities. Throughout my career I have also maintained a small private practice with a focus on grief and loss, workplace harassment, and career/life transitions including retirement.

Sexual Abuse Counsellors
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
