Sexual Abuse Therapists in San Diego, CA

Sexual violence, harmful relationships, life transitions, or even seemingly minor events, can leave us feeling fractured and unrecognizable. Helping those who have gone through experiences like intimate partner violence and sexual assault restore their love and trust in themselves is what I am most passionate about. Through a trauma-informed and compassionate approach, I create a safe space where you can explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences without judgment. We can work together on managing anxiety, dealing with depression, overcoming the effects of betrayal, symptoms of PTSD, and navigating life's challenges.

Are you grappling with the aftermath of sexual assault? It's common to experience a range of intense and confusing emotions, from fear and anger to guilt and sadness.

We'll work together to navigate these complex emotions, helping you regain a sense of empowerment and control over your life.

I help folks cope and heal from sexual and relationship trauma. Trauma can fracture who you are as a person. It can make you feel unlike yourself, distant from others, changed forever. This does not have to be permanent. Together, we can build resilience, access your strengths, and let your past stay in the past. Learning to understand your trauma, manage symptoms, change patterns, and increase self-esteem can help you cultivate the life and meaningful relationships that you want. Most of my clients have experienced rape, sexual assault, childhood abuse, systemic oppression, and/or violence from a partner.

Are you concerned about your child after having experienced something traumatic? Domestic violence, accidents, assault, child physical abuse, child sexual abuse, neglect, and other traumatic events take time and support to heal from. Many children are left with depression, anxiety, PTSD, defiance, opposition, and many other issues after the trauma.

I believe that we all experience our own unique traumas in life, and it's how we respond to them that shapes our view of the world and ourselves. I'm here to help you see things from a different lens, or perhaps just help you develop new ways of responding to your own individual experiences. Healing your traumas allows you to regain your sense of power and strengthen your sense of self. I take a holistic approach to healing and wellness and believe that each client requires a unique, person-centered approach.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Provider. My background is a combination of trauma and community-based mental health and I work with clients with an array of diverse backgrounds. My work with clients involves finding out how to address the concerns that stop you from living a fulfilling life.

Do you find yourself stuck in unwanted patterns? Are you overwhelmed with past experiences that seem to still be lingering? Are you wrestling with anxiety and difficult emotions? I believe that healing is possible! I believe so many of us stay stuck because we do not have the right support for healing.

I enjoy helping client’s make sense of what’s going on, so we can compassionately resolve the identified problems and achieve their goals.
