You may know that something needs to change, but feel unsure about where to begin. Perhaps the past continues to affect your relationships, confidence, or ability to feel safe. You may find yourself overthinking, shutting down, trying to please everyone, or blaming yourself.

I'm a trauma-informed therapist and have worked with many forms of trauma and complex PTSD, including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, military, religious, and more.
You can be the person you've always wanted to be and flourish in life. What we don't like about ourselves is not who we are. We are not our behaviors or our pasts. We don't need to be fixed; it's a matter of uncovering our genuine selves. So many of our behaviors stem from our negative experiences in childhood, and from times in our lives where we have to protect ourselves. I aim to create a comfortable, calming space of hope, where you can break the cycles holding you back and emerge to the true you.

Hello, I'm Brynn, and I'm so happy you found me. I know you may feel like you’re ready to commit to giving therapy a try. But perhaps there is some fear as well. Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with therapy in the past. Or maybe you were raised to think negatively about seeking mental health help. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and make you feel heard. My goal is to help those I work with feel empowered and hopeful. To do that we may use EMDR, and other ways to help connect those parts of you that may feel disconnected. So let’s talk through some of the things you’ve been feeling and come up with a plan together.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in the same relationship dynamics, even though part of you understands what’s happening. I understand how frustrating it can be when you know something isn’t working, yet it keeps repeating. Maybe the same arguments come up, past experiences still feel heavy, or you feel disconnected in ways that are hard to explain. You’re not alone in this, and there is a way to begin making sense of it.

We all develop ways of surviving difficult experiences. Sometimes those strategies continue to serve us, and sometimes they begin to get in the way. Therapy offers an opportunity to understand these patterns, reduce suffering, and create new ways of relating to yourself and others.
My approach to trauma-informed psychotherapy integrates Western and Eastern perspectives and is grounded in Dr. Judith Herman’s three-phase model: stabilization, trauma processing, and reconnection. Together, we explore your unique life experiences and how they continue to shape your present.

I have extensive training and experience working with sexual assault, domestic abuse, relationship trauma, faith deconstruction, and life transitions.
Do you look like you’re holding it all together while quietly feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or alone on the inside? Many of the people I work with are outwardly composed, often the strong one for others, while internally carrying pain, anxiety, or a heaviness that feels isolating or hard to name. My approach helps you slow down and understand the different parts of yourself shaped by perfectionism, people-pleasing, and survival, while also gently tuning into your body and nervous system. Together, we create space for both protective and more vulnerable parts, while strengthening your connection to a grounded sense of Self.

If you feel stuck in cycles of conflict, disconnection, shame, or anxiety, either in your relationship or within yourself, you’re not alone. Many of the couples and individuals I work with come to therapy feeling hurt, confused, or stuck, often after experiences of betrayal, sexual trauma, or painful relationship patterns. I am especially passionate about helping couples and individuals heal from the shame and unrealistic expectations around sex and intimacy that can come from religious or cultural messages. These experiences can quietly impact trust, desire, self-worth, and emotional safety long into adulthood.

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.
