There are seasons in life when we no longer recognize ourselves in the mirror of our relationships, our bodies, or the roles we have carried for others. I work with women, men and couples who feel disconnected from desire, intimacy, vitality, or emotional connection—particularly during periods of midlife transition, relationship change, burnout, or menopause. My approach integrates psychotherapy, sex therapy, attachment theory, and sensory awareness to help clients move beyond survival mode and reconnect with a deeper sense of embodiment, confidence, pleasure, and relational authenticity.

Reaching out to a therapist often comes after doing your best on your own and sensing it’s time for something different. My work focuses on the stories families carry and the ways trauma can echo across generations. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Structural Dissociation Theory to help you understand how past experiences shape present‑day responses. These approaches honor the protective strategies you’ve developed while creating space for new possibilities. Because families are living systems, I also use Structural Family Therapy to explore interactional patterns and strengthen 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.
