Sexual Abuse Therapists in 80923

I help survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse find a new “normal” while working to gain a sense of safety.

You have a voice, and I have a heart and desire to listen to it. My number one priority is to create a safe place for clients. I join clients struggling with past sexual trauma, PTSD, codependent/emotionally abusive relationships, and attachment disorders (adults as well as adolescents) as they journey through recovery and healing. Everyone has an amazing purpose, please allow me to help you discover the truth about yourself.

Your strengths matter! We all need to be reminded of our value and the strength we attain from life's challenges. Getting help doesn't mean that you've failed; it simply means that you are not alone. We utilize tools to help you with: BALANCE, HEALING, INTEGRATION, & WHOLENESS. Let us help you make the positive changes you want in your life. Start your creative journey today by taking time for yourself by discovering a new path to a great life! You are not your past or negative labels. You will smile again.

Hope.Relief.Freedom. Life has gotten progressively more difficult over the last few years. People of all ages are struggling with fatigue, discouragement, despair, and even hopelessness. All of these things result in poor performance in regulating emotions and navigating relationships, controlling behavior (especially for kids and teenagers), focusing your attention and concentration, jobs and careers, sports, academics, and daily life. Despite what you've heard, and maybe come to believe, you and your kids can put all those life "performance difficulties" behind you and thrive in a way you perhaps have never imagined.

Do you find yourself searching for your “purpose” in life? Or do you feel that maybe you have lost who you once were? Let’s face it, life can be ugly at times. You may even find yourself in the middle of the chaos of this thing we call life. By providing space to express past traumas, confusing life circumstances, and more. I create a meaningful and tailored healing experience for each client. I believe that everyone possesses the tools to heal, but they may need help navigating the process.

Do you feel like past trauma, negative experiences, and anxiety rule your life? Or maybe you see other people who have gone through hard things and are still able to experience joy, leading you to feel hopeless in your chasm of pain. It’s okay to take steps towards your journey of discovering what healing might look like for you and the person you are becoming.

We have openings! Our team is dedicated to serving others. Many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed at some point in their lives. We are here to listen, offer hope, and walk through difficult times with you. We can work together to set achievable goals, gain insight, and work towards healing. We provide our clients with a safe, playful, creative and homey environment, where you can gain an outside perspective, additional support, or just someone to listen. Making the call takes courage and is the first step in the process.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling from anxiety, depression, and/or the effects of past trauma. I work best with clients who are open to accepting their own responsibility to change, and are ready to recover control of their own life from the things which have held them back from how they want to live. I have a special passion and training to work with those who have undergone spiritual abuse/trauma, which is any harmful use of power and control experienced within a faith tradition. If you're recovering from this, or just want to sort out what you believe and why without judgment, I would love to help!

I understand through personal loss and struggles, the realness of living in a broken world. However, I have also experienced the internal transformation of hope, courage, and wholeness. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, who is trained in EMDR, Neurofeedback, and Play/Art/Music Therapy. I believe in meeting others where they are and walking beside them, especially when challenges, struggles, or lack of hope hinder our ability to live life to the fullest. I make every effort to create a genuine, safe, non-judgmental, relationship with others. Regardless of their spiritual or religious beliefs.

Hello! Do you feel trapped in your own thoughts and cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel? Do you feel stuck, anxious, or depressed? If yes, maybe you are one of those individuals who have formed maladaptive patterns of thinking that are not helping you to obtain the results you want, or perhaps you suffered from a traumatic experience that is temporarily affecting the way you think and interact with others. If your goal is to increase your level of awareness and have more control over your life, then working together will give you the tools you need to live a more joyful and balanced life.

Have you been through a trauma/adverse event that has challenged your view of yourself, or made you feel anxious or out of control? I do not judge, and want to hear your story. I have had personal experience with loss and trauma, and have benefited from caring support. Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, changes in identity, relationship difficulties, anger, addiction, or a combination of challenges, I would like to help you through it. I consider it an honor to be trusted with the story of your experience. Even your darkest moments can emerge into light again. I know it's possible, as I've been through some dark spots.

You have within you an amazing ability to transcend pain and fear, even if you haven't yet discovered it. With effort and commitment, you can free that ability to heal wounds and increase resilience. Self-esteem can grow as you better understand why you do what you do. Learning to identify, understand, and manage emotions - including anger and anxiety - allows you to become a better friend to yourself and others. As relationship patterns become clearer, the potential to change them for the better can grow. On my website are reviews by clients and more about my experience and philosophy.

Just as the body has the ability to heal physically, the mind can also heal from psychological trauma. I believe that every single person has a powerful story, and I take pride in providing a safe, calm environment where you are empowered to share, and heal from your story. If you are struggling with Trauma, PTSD, Grief, depression, anxiety, or would like to speak to someone in a unbiased, nonjudgemental environment, give me a call or email me for appointment availability. I do offer evening appointments as well as phone or video conferencing appointments.
