You know you need help, but don’t know who to talk to or if talking will even change anything. You’ve experienced a trauma and you are tired of talking about it, but you don’t want to feel “that feeling" anymore. You know that something is wrong, but you can’t seem to put words to it. Or maybe you have been to therapy before and just talking about it didn’t seem to help. Perhaps your child is not behaving in school like he or she used to, they’re no longer talking, grades are falling and their getting into fights. Maybe your family just doesn’t get it, if you could just do or be what they want things will be ok, but there not.

There comes a day when we find ourselves in a place we never, ever expected to be. We face some painful realities and make very difficult decisions and choices. Later, we look back on our decisions and realize we could have done things better, or differently. What is important is what we do with what we have learned from those mistakes and how to deal with the guilt and shame that goes with it. Successful therapy involves a commitment to heal and become strong, stable and able to put our wounds where they might be appropriately placed. Not as defense shields to distort realities, but instead, to live the life we all desire.

One of my strengths is that I know how hard it can be to get started in therapy, so I always try to be sensitive and reassuring to my clients as we get to know each other. I am capable of reaching many different types of clients, but I most enjoy helping people who have been struggling for a long time and who cannot see a way out of their situation.

A person centered, strengths based approach to helping you discover a healthier emotional life is what guides my practice. A variety of hurts, traumas, relationships and experiences shape who you become. Sometimes you need someone to help process how to break free from the negative experiences and find a new path. I recognize that people benefit from being heard and validated. This becomes the basis of a supportive therapeutic relationship allowing for gentle, supportive challenges to change. This may include EMDR. I want to be able to meet you where you're at, helping you change your life in the way you feel would benefit you.

Life can be overwhelming. It throws you curve balls, and sometimes it just feels hard to navigate. Maybe it’s a divorce, job change, becoming a parent, death in the family, or any other life transition. Life can bring us baggage and even though we think we have it contained, it can seep into other areas of our life that we are trying to navigate through. I work with people who want to understand themselves better so they can continue to thrive in life. I want to help empower you to find balance within yourself and learn to fine tune your ability to respond to situation in which you feel in control with better balance and regulation.

Life is complicated and fast moving. Life on life’s terms sometimes feels impossible to try and keep up. No one is immune to changes. It’s hard to accept and roll with the punches when your brain is telling you one thing, but your system/intuition is pulling you in the other direction. That feels scary and unfamiliar, maybe even causing you to miss out on life and all the possibilities hidden behind closed doors. Let me help you tear down those walls built by fear and kick open those doors to new possibilities. I embrace many therapy styles that can be compatible with what you need.

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.
