I work with a wide range of clients including adults with problems ranging from sexual abuse, depression and anxiety, to marriage counseling, family problems or those who just need fine tuning or coaching.
I have been working as a licensed psychologist for over 25 years, working with individuals and families with a wide range of problems. I am always aware of the systemic context within which problems exist as people are impacted by their work, home and social environments as well as their internal conflicts. I focus on the individual's and family's strengths that can be harnessed to solve problems, improve life or reach goals. I believe that everyone has within themselves the power to solve their problems and find possibility, meaning and hope in their lives. My role is to help them find this power.

As men/women we have to embrace the need for growth, change, and elevation. The first step to embarking on that journey is accepting the need for mental health self-care. As we endure life we are faced with many challenges, and although they may not have an impact on the outside they cause many challenges on the inside.

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.
