(Accepting New Patients) I help people discover the blind spots, inner conflicts, and unconscious patterns that have secretly blocked their attempts to heal. Discovering these unconscious blocks allows us to create a flexible and personalized treatment plan to manage your symptoms and treat the underlying causes. Working with me feels similar to physical therapy: soothing at times and challenging at others, but ultimately, healing.

My life has been shaped by profound loss and trauma, and I understand firsthand how deeply these experiences can affect the human heart and mind. I survived sexual, emotional, and psychological abuse in childhood, endured years of depression and suicidal thoughts, and grew up in a deeply dysfunctional environment. By the age of 22, I had already experienced nearly two dozen significant deaths, along with two serious automobile accidents and the trauma of being trapped in a burning building. Living with complex PTSD has been part of my journey, and it has also shaped my deep empathy for those who carry unseen wounds.

You are navigating the heavy reality of complex PTSD, adjusting to life with a disability, or struggling to find your footing in relationships. Perhaps you are a veteran for whom traditional talk therapy hasn't been enough, or you are navigating a divorce that has shaken your self-worth. Unresolved trauma often spills over, affecting how you connect with others and how you view yourself. You don't just want to cope; you want to reclaim your life.

It is my pleasure to work with you in a therapeutic relationship. My primary belief is that what makes therapy effective is the quality of our relationship. You are being asked to share the deepest aspects of your personhood; as your therapist, I will treat these facets as sacred, confidential and worthy of my best work. I believe children have a voice but just have difficulty verbalizing it at times, and through interactive and expressive therapy I am able to best communicate and build relationships.

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.
