Modern motherhood is overwhelming and intense. I work with women from the start of their fertility journey through the many phases of parenting. Clients are often working through difficult core memories, recent or past losses and traumatic events, are making sense of this time of transition and are processing points of stress and anxiety. My approaches are grounded in attachment and child development theory and I'm often working with moms to better understand their child's behaviour and why it can be so dysregulating. Most of all, I'm passionate about supporting women in finding joy and thriving during these vulnerable years.

Life can often resemble a complex puzzle, with both challenging and stable moments. At times, it may feel like we're tackling this puzzle all alone. That's where the power of therapy comes in – think of it as having a helpful teammate on your journey to feeling better. Even if it doesn't seem obvious, the key to finding balance and contentment is already within you. My role is to guide you in unlocking that inner potential by shedding light on your thoughts and emotions. This is the first step toward creating a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

Sexual Abuse Counsellors

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.
