Look at you! Come on, self-improvement! Therapy isn’t just for people who have a problem or issue to deal with. You can come to this space and feel seen, heard, and like you matter, because you do. The journey through life isn’t a straight road. It’s filled with twists and turns and bumps and climbs. One day, I can navigate it through light rain and cloudy skies. The next day can be driving up hill in a thunderstorm, downpour, gale force winds, and dark clouds. Not to mention, whose car is this, and how did I even get in it?! Having resilience doesn’t mean running away. Resilience is being terrified and facing it anyway.

Maybe this isn't what you pictured. You love your baby - or you're still waiting to feel that - and you're also anxious, exhausted, tearful, or grieving who you were before.

My ideal client is an adult or couple looking to find support in managing daily life or adjusting to change. This could include searching for a sense of identity/belonging, experiencing a sense of loss, experiencing mental health symptoms, and coping with life's general difficulties. When meeting with someone my goal is to provide a bubble of safety and to act as a pole of trust. For each person to know that I can sit with them in the weight of what they have been carrying, and walk alongside through this path of discovery.

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.
