I specialize in working with a variety of individuals over the age of 18 who have struggled with life transitions, anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual abuse, grief, self-esteem, domestic violence, postpartum, and financial burdens.
As we transition through life, we go through many phases. We're often faced with challenges and obstacles that can make it difficult to process and move forward. During those times, the light at the end of the tunnel is not always present. Maybe you are under a lot of stress, feel stuck, are grieving the loss of a loved one, dealing with loneliness, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem, financial burdens, past trauma, or just don't feel like yourself. Whatever the issue, therapy provides a safe and secure space to talk through your issues, create attainable goals, and begin your healing journey.

Pregnancy and postpartum is hard…and balancing a life outside of parenthood brought unexpected challenges, changing your world in profound ways. Maybe the joy of expecting or the arrival of a new baby, has left you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain. These transitions can be as disorienting as they are beautiful, touching deep emotions, possibly reawakening past traumas or intensifying fears about the future. You're navigating a complex mix of emotions—joy, fear, anticipation, anxiety and grief. You need someone who can guide you through this new era. You're seeking a path to feel balanced, connected, and whole 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.
