No insurance - If you’re not having sex, or not talking about it, your relationship is signaling that something needs attention. And if you’re running on fumes, disconnected from friends, overwhelmed by work, or avoiding your partner’s texts, your nervous system is telling a similar story. Different symptoms, same underlying system.

The reasons people don't seek therapy are complex. For many, therapy exists within the very systems that have harmed them, yet practices (& therapists) often ignore these truths when they ask individuals to “take charge” of and “own responsibility” for the distress and trauma in their lives without that broader understanding, or worse, from a place of privilege or toxic positivity. My ideal client is ready to engage deeply and authentically. My approach is empathetic and meets that authenticity with accountability, radical honesty, and a commitment to the work of healing.

Therapy should provide a safe, nonjudgmental relationship through which to explore those parts of you that may make you feel ashamed or afraid, to develop meaningful insights, and to discover your strengths. I have extensive experience working with people seeking to overcome traumatic life events - sexual violations, abuse, neglect, extreme acts of violence - but have found that, in the end, it can sometimes be the seemingly small, overlooked wounds that take longest to heal. No matter how stuck and hopeless you may feel, you have the power to take control and embrace the person you'd like to be.

Something tipped the scale – a crisis, life transition, or enough of the same thing. You’ve tried to get through on your own in healthy and unhealthy ways, and now, you're ready for something different.

I became a therapist because I believe healing happens when people are truly seen, heard, and understood—without judgment, criticism, or stigma. Every person carries a story shaped not only by their own experiences, but also by the patterns, beliefs, and emotional legacies passed down through generations. I’m deeply interested in understanding those intergenerational patterns and how they influence our relationships, sense of self, and the ways we cope with life’s challenges.
My work is rooted in the belief that symptoms are not flaws—they are meaningful responses to life experiences.

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.
