If you've lived through sexual abuse - rape, childhood sexual abuse, or sex trafficking - you may notice changes in how you think, feel, and relate. You might believe you should have stopped it or that you deserved what happened. Trust feels impossible, the world feels unsafe. Maybe you're on edge, overwhelmed with emotions - or numb, unable to feel at all. Sleep is hard. Relationships are tough. Memories haunt you day and/or night. And sex and intimacy...that's either out of control or it feels completely out of reach. Does this sound familiar? Know it doesn't have to stay this way.
Healing from sexual trauma is possible. My entire practice is dedicated to this work—I support survivors every day and understand the countless ways trauma tries to change us. By blending trauma-focused therapy with specialized training in sex and couples therapy, I help individuals and couples rebuild trust, reclaim intimacy, and create a life they love.
It’s natural to doubt that things can improve, but healing IS possible. If you’re ready, I’m here. Together, we can create a path toward resilience, understanding, and reclaiming the life you deserve - a life in which shame doesn't have the final word, and you can let your guard down and be yourself fully. Get in touch to see how we can get you there.

I work extensively with survivors of sexual abuse (rape, incest, trafficking, childhood sexual abuse) around trauma processing and offer sex therapy. This is the area I love to learn about and work with. I promise that no topic is too "taboo" or off limits. So much suffering happens when we live in shame, I want to help you release that shame, begin healing, and find joy in life and relationships.
