Is your anxiety getting in the way of accomplishing your life goals? Do you have a complicated relationship with food & your body? Do you struggle with relationships or feel like you have limited support from people in general? Does life feel like one bad situation after another, almost like you can't catch a break? If any of this resonates, I would be glad to walk with you in your journey of leading a more authentic, fulfilling life. I believe that our early experiences really shape us, and at times (even unknowingly) make us feel stuck.

I am here to collaborate with my clients and explore how trauma, stress, and pain have rooted in their bodies. My clients report experiencing disconnection and dissociation from the emotional and physical experiences inside of them. As a consequence, they often only have connection to what is happening in their bodies and minds in moments of intense crisis, dysregulation, and severe need. In these moments, they feel ill-equipped, overwhelmed, and confused about how to navigating these consuming experiences. These clients typically share that they are consistently visiting this space of chaos with little to no control or autonomy.

We are all entitled to happiness, and to live with meaning and purpose. I work with my clients in partnership as we define personal strengths and rediscover their authentic Self.

Our goal is to help you move past these events, reclaim your life, and feel happy again.

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.
