Having worked with a non profit organization for 9 years as a case manager, adoptions specialist, and a family services counselor, I developed a passion for working with teens and adults from all walks of life. I worked as a trauma therapist and partnered with the Department of Children and Families to assist families with traumatic experiences. I have been in private practice since 2014, working extensively with children and adults who have experienced trauma. I also have experience working with veterans and active military alongside their families.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Through understanding comes healing and growth. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, trauma, or emotional pain. I want you to live a life of true happiness and find meaning in work, family, friendships, and all areas of life. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life challenges you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

I have worked extensively with clients whom have experienced sexual abuse.
You have been able to stuff your trauma deep down for a long time and either pretend that it didn’t happen, ignore that it happened or minimize your trauma. Until now. Angry outbursts, sleepless nights, anxiety, spontaneous crying, and/or intimacy difficulties are becoming difficult to ignore. You are ready to stop feeling angry, sad, or confused. But it is scary to address trauma that you have either never discussed before or others have dismissed or minimized your traumatic experience(s).

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.
