To be able to enter into a season of recovery, one must take the step to enter into a season of vulnerability. Starting where you are and taking the first step can be difficult, though seeking help is a great place to start. I am passionate about self-advocacy and providing a safe space for you. I will tailor treatment to fit your unique needs and situation, while we work together to process through your concerns and harness your strength and resiliency.

Todo el mundo se siente perdido o desconectado a veces - de nuestro sentido de sí mismo, cuerpo, necesidades, relaciones, sentido de propósito, o Dios. Desconectar nos ayuda superar temporalmente, pero no puede ayudar a largo plazo. Te ayudo reconectar con su ser entero (mente, cuerpo, y espíritu) y un sentido profundo de significado. Con compasión, escuchamos y guíamos esas partes de sí mismo que se sienten desconectadas a volver autoestimas, aceptadas, y integradas. Proporciono un lugar seguro para sentarse con las emociónes difíciles juntos para que puedas curarse y encontrar sí mismo de nuevo. Te veo y te hablo sin juicio.

Do you find yourself longing for a deeper connection with yourself and others? You want close relationships and yet these very relationships become a source of pain? Many people find their way to therapy feeling lost, confused, and alone. For me, a most valuable aspect of therapy is connecting with a caring other and being able to undo the loneliness that one feels in their experience. Feeling connected in therapy allows individuals to access important core emotions and gain a deeper sense of themselves. My goal is that people leave therapy with a renewed sense of vitality and a coherent narrative of who they are.

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.
