You have survived all of your worst days and the fact that you are here means that there are thoughts swirling around in your brain that drew you here. Are you looking to take a leap you've been too afraid to make? Are you feeling the stress and pressure from work, school, home or all of the above?

Albert Einstein once said; "Out of clutter, find simplicity, from discord, find harmony, in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." I strongly believe that no matter if we are trying to navigate through depression, anxiety, PTSD, or any other issues that cause clutter, discord and/or difficulty in our lives, it can be simplified, we can be harmonized, and it can provide opportunities to live our best lives by managing our struggles in a way that allow us to rediscover who we are, our strengths, our abilities, and to regain our independence without our struggles dominating our lives, and our relationships.

I will work with you to guide you through your depression, grief, anxiety, relationship or spiritual issues to find harmony, comfort, health and balance. I work with an integrative approach. The outcome of therapy is usually greater self-knowledge, a re-integration of de-pressed thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, and a new relationship with self, others, and the world. Therapy often involves structured "talk" therapy, creative work, an exploration of your dreams, religious experiences, and personal myths.

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.
