Therapy goals are a joint process between the client and myself, the therapist. I assist with identifying presenting problems, while we collaborate on identifying goals to address the problems according to the client. Sometimes a client may just need some guidance on life decisions, or support getting through a tough time. Whatever the journey I'm here to help the client navigate through this process. Clients may need to see a new way of doing things in order to get to the next phase of life.

You may feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in the same cycles, or unsure why things feel so heavy-even when you're doing everything right. Perhaps anxiety feels constant, relationships feel complicated, or past experiences continue to affect your present. You might know something needs to change-but aren't sure where to start. I believe therapy is not about "fixing" you-its about understanding what's beneath the surface and learning how to respond to yourself with more clarity and compassion. Many of us struggle we face make sense when we explore them in a safe, supportive space.

Does peace feel out of reach and impossible to imagine right now? Peace is crucial to our quality of life and integral to navigating life’s complexities and challenges. All too often we are in a silent war with ourselves and our brain and thought life can lead us to dark emotional places. Feelings of worthlessness, shame, anger, grief, and resentments chisel away at our vitality. All that remains is a heavy tiredness and sense of hopelessness that can make us feel incredibly alone. We are not created to handle soul crushing experiences on our own.

You’re not “too sensitive.” Your nervous system has been trying to protect you. Trauma and chronic stress don’t just live in your thoughts — they live in your body. On the outside, you may look like you’re holding it together. On the inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, or exhausted. I work primarily with teen girls and women navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, including ambiguous loss (losses that don’t involve death), and emotional overwhelm. I also support children ages 8+, when it feels like a good fit. Therapy can be a space to slow down, notice your body’s stress responses, and begin healing in a steady, safe way.

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.
