Whether it is trauma, unhealthy relationships, sexual abuse, a big move or transition, feeling stressed or hopeless, I believe in honoring a space to process the harsh feelings that come with trauma.
Let’s face it, life can be chaotic. Do you find yourself reliving stressful situations over and over again? Do you struggle with confidence or self-esteem? Or maybe you feel overwhelmed with difficult feelings? “These problems are more common than you think, and I invite you to reach out to me to begin your work on these trials and turbulences.”

Most of my experience and trainings is in the area of trauma and sexual abuse.
Are you feeling sad, depressed, anxious, angry, mean, inadequate, unworthy, etc.? Is it difficult to understand and accept those feelings? Typically, we reject what hurts us and only welcome and entertain the "feel good" moments and emotions. Your story is important. I am here to listen and support you as you go through your journey in becoming the person you want to be. I will honor your uniqueness and help you identify what is important to you, your needs and your strengths. You have everything you need within you to succeed.

Mija, no matter what others tell you, you are enough. Maybe you don't believe this yet, but by the time you walk out of your last therapy session, you will have acquired the necessary tools and experiences to believe this is true. Reaching out for help isn’t easy, te entiendo. As an immigrant woman myself, I’ve seen the pressure we feel to succeed for our families, the fear of vulnerability, the feeling that we live in two worlds, or the difficulty of putting our emotions into words without feeling like a burden or a failure.

When I was reaching out for counseling for the first time, I felt so stuck and helpless. There were so many things to consider and I was worried about finding the right fit for my needs as well as finding someone who I could truly trust and resonate with. As you are searching for a counselor to help you explore your inner world, I hope that I may be able to help. With empathy and safety as top priorities, we can begin to untangle stories, process grief, relieve anxiety or depression, or address trauma. Maybe just one of those things, maybe all of those things, or maybe more! You deserve peace and rest.

I help people gain freedom from their issues with a revolutionary technique taught by my mentor, Marisa Peer, voted Britain’s best therapist. With RTT I can fix anything from skin conditions to weight issues, to phobias, to addictions, to chronic illness and disease, in just 1-3 sessions. I’m still seeing traditional therapy clients, but since my accreditation in RTT, I’m focusing on moving my practice to exclusively RTT and coaching clients. My target client includes anyone who has been unable to fix or heal from any type of issue, they’ve tried other ways, but have been unsuccessful! RTT is the missing link that can free you!

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.
