Working through mental health challenges can be scary and lonely, but I know how much life can change for the better when you get the support you need and take those important steps towards finding peace. Having a counselor that not only listens, but is honest, empathetic, and understanding is important to finding the right mental health professional. You are special and unique which means that I will not use a “cookie-cutter” type technique but rather one that is designed specifically for you, your personality and style, and the most straightforward approach to meeting your goals.

I have experience treating children who have been through traumatic events such as serious car accidents, animal attacks, gun violence, foster care placement, abuse/neglect, sexual assault, and more.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with children aged 4 to 18. I specialize in treating young children and am one of the few Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapists in Wyoming. I treat children experiencing a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges, including anxiety, trauma, verbal and physical aggression, defiant and oppositional behavior, and attachment concerns. I’m just as comfortable working with a shy, withdrawn, and anxious child as I am with a hyper, impulsive, “wild child.”

Through my experience I have worked specifically with sexual abuse and assault, domestic abuse and working with the first responders to these issues.
As a First Responder Victim Witness Specialist, working side by side with LEOs,EMS,Fire and coroners from on scene moments of crisis through the adjudication process and beyond. In my years in this experience I have acquired an understanding of the unique stressors that not only victims of crime face but also the first responders. Vicarious trauma can have a lasting impact on these lives and the lives of their families often leading to PTSD, Addiction, Relationship/Maritial difficulties and many other stressors. It is my passion to see less suffering and suicide in the First Response family as well as Military.

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.
