I think the ideal client is somebody that needs to be heard, and needs to be seen in a space that feels comfortable to them. I think they will have that opportunity in working with me and be able to change their own lives in the ways that suit them. Sometimes, we focus on the deep things that bring us into therapy, and sometimes we end up playing a game, talking about the day to day, or even laughing hysterically.

The most endearing part about therapy is watching people uncover parts about themselves or their lives that lead to healing and change. Often someone seeks support from an outside source to help them gain a sense of control over their lives. Through the therapeutic process, they gain control over themselves and that leads to solutions they were not aware of. It's an honor to guide those who want to help themselves and create a life they are proud of.

Life is tough. No doubt about it. Sometimes its downright overwhelming. In these times it is especially beneficial to have someone to help you as you wade through it all. People come to counseling for a variety of reasons. Probably most people who voluntarily come to counseling are looking for some healing, and the hope of moving forward with their life. How about you? Do you want to get your "heart" back? Make some changes? Move forward with your life? That's good. I'd like to help you with that.

"Ego says, 'Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace.' Spirit says, 'Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.'" (Marianne Williamson). I believe that peace and quality of life is achieved by working in reverse. That is, going inward to rediscover the divinity that rests in you. My objective is to encourage clients to use their strengths and resources to recognize their inner wisdom, thus allowing them to become their authentic self. Working together, we can identify barriers to wellbeing, explore solutions that empower, and expand awareness.

I became a therapist because I believe people can do hard things. Regardless of where your path has led you - or has yet to lead you - as your therapist I will meet you where you are and empower you to find your inner strength. Everyone is at a different stage of their healing journey and I will walk alongside you on yours. When we work together, your sense of safety and security is my biggest priority; I firmly believe healing cannot happen in the presence of judgement. I welcome and celebrate all identities and appreciate the individuality of your experiences.

I believe that resilience is in all of us and healing is a path we can choose to walk at any time if we are willing to take the first step. Sometimes even helping professionals need their own helper, someone to listen to their experiences and walk alongside them as they process the challenges of helping. Focusing on secondary traumatic stress and occupational stress issues I believe my role as a therapist is to support clients as they navigate their healing process.

Each person has a unique life experience; the challenges they face and strengths they draw from are wholly their own. My aim as a therapist is to help clients see things from a new perspective, and tap into their strengths and resilience to meet their goals. I see each client as a person, rather than a diagnosis, and try to meet them where they are at in life’s journey. Together, we collaborate to form a person-centered treatment plan that reflects the client’s needs and goals.

I tell everyone they need counseling. Some have that trusted friend that they can turn to, others have Facebook (not highly recommended), and then there are those that need someone with some training. I, like many, have been in that situation before and I am not ashamed to say it. As I sat in the chair of my counseling session many years ago, I was complaining about how I disliked my job and my counselor said "well you have options" and it was in that moment that I realized that I needed a job change. It was out of that session that NYA Counseling was born.

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.
