I specialize in trauma recovery, grief, loss, and spirituality. I have worked with survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault, suicide, and various forms of self-harm. I also work with individuals who want to explore issues related to identity, gender, and sexuality. I help cultivate an authentic, integrated, and empowered expression of self by way of connecting with denser emotions such as grief, fear, and despair. This work is grounded in belief through experience that we can heal, regenerate, and thrive. I have witnessed suffering alchemized into joy, desperation into hope, insecurity into confidence, doubt into trust.

Hello, I have a great passion for serving Youth, Adults and Families. Sometimes we are faced with adversities or changes within our life that can be difficult to deal with and/or ask for help. School, work, relationship and life expectations may cause us to feel stressed, overwhelmed, disconnected or just overall tired. When this happens, we often experience an increase in symptoms of depression, anxiety or past trauma. I work to lessen the stigma and empower individuals to seek help for these concerns in hopes to help to heal & strengthen the person & family.

There are difficult experiences in life that inspire or require us to seek outside help and support. Whether an acute crisis, a long-term struggle, or a desire to develop and grow personally, I help patients create change and begin to feel better. I do this in part by helping people recognize and embrace their strengths, sharpen their coping skills for the inevitable challenges in life, and identify and reframe self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Are you trapped in a complex family and/or work situation? If both, there may be a similar pattern of causes even in dissimilar situations. Understanding complexity can identify basic hidden patterns. Some clients experience chronic or acute physical illnesses: these are clues to unraveling the complexities. Emotional and physical problems may be a surface expression of buried family or personal trauma. For my clients, discovering patterns embedded in family behaviors can help them manage their current problematic situations. Psychotherapy can help clients move forward in systems that seem beyond their control.

Most people who seek psychotherapy already possess a "spark" or a strong inclination for a certain change in their life. As you share your story my experience strengthens the spark, turning it to earnest desire and belief in the very real possibility of effecting change in your life. I lecture at the university level in the areas of DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE and LEADERSHIP. I also lecture on ANXIETY MANAGEMENT. Though grounded in traditional psychotherapy, I espouse the merits of short-term and innovative techniques.

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.
