Well, where do I began...I have been working in this field for over 13, years consistently. I have had the pleasure of being trained by amazing people in three different settings to include residential, nonprofit, and community based. I have been working with children as young as 4, years of age, to adulthood. For the past few years I have been working with children who have been victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking as well as LGBTTQQIAAP, teens and adults over the past few years. Helping others has always been my passion, so I made it my business to provide quality services to assist others in their time of need.

Silence can hurt. Yes, the roles of being a mom, wife, friend, and child are GREAT but they can also be draining. Maybe you know your relationships are unfulfilling or your work life has been stressful for quite some time. You may be thinking how you got here. You may be wondering if you are the problem. Your doubts and anxieties about the world around you may be stemming from societal pressure, cultural influence, or past experiences- which we know is unfair to compare our situation to past events.

There is a part of me that needs to take care of everyone and everything. There is a part of me that wants to check out and escape from all the responsibilities I have.

As an experienced, licensed counselor, I understand what steps are needed to make real healing possible. Just like the physical body, healing for the mind and spirit requires time and it is important to know at the onset that the counseling process will be a journey, rather than a sprint. I provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental space in which to share their story, helping them take their first steps on the path to lasting health. As a trauma-informed, source-focused counselor, I prioritize addressing the root source of a problem rather than its symptoms.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or addiction, can feel exhausting or even unbearable. You might feel very alone. Maybe you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and it didn’t really work for you. Or perhaps you’re a Christian, struggling with the fact that you’re struggling. You find yourself stuck and overwhelmed, and you feel like you just can’t break through. You just want to feel free.

Sexual Abuse Therapists

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.
