You are exhausted and want to do things differently. You want healthy relationships that bring you peace instead of anxiety. You are overwhelmed by your childhood trauma but don’t know where to start. You know you don’t want to continue to self sabotage or push others away, or depend on your partner for everything- but you do so because that is normal when you have survived trauma! You've tried traditional talk therapy and feel like you don’t get anywhere.  It is possible to have lasting and fulfilling relationships with your significant other whether its been thirty days or ten years. We can get there together!

Life is hard enough without being uncomfortable in your own body. It starts innocently enough: one diet doesn't work so you move to another. Before you know it, you're ashamed, frustrated, feeling less than, and trying to exercise to "burn it off." In a culture that condones this, it can be difficult to know when it's a problem. Yet you know this isn't quite right. Eating can seem hard. You aren't even sure you know how to eat anymore. There has to be a different way. I assure you, there is.

I specialize in providing support and healing for women who have experienced birth trauma, miscarriage, infertility, postpartum depression/anxiety, perinatal mental health challenges, as well as those who are considering pregnancy or are mothers of young children. Motherhood is a unique journey, and amidst the joy and love, it can also bring forth complex emotions and unaddressed trauma. I understand that the constant stream of societal expectations and pressures can create feelings of isolation, guilt, and the loss of one's true self. Together, we will challenge these external influences and explore the deep-rooted issues.

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.
