Effective psychotherapy sees the human person as made up of body, mind, and spirit, and each dimension affects the other, especially during times of crisis, stress, transition, and disharmony. Currently I am seeing clients who want to heal brokenness from past or current trauma such as emotional, physical, sexual or verbal abuse.
I also see clients who have been working in therapy for a while and feel like there is something missing in relation to their spirituality and purpose in life. We explore the bridge between mental and spiritual health.

Feelings can be tricky. Thoughts, relationships, responsibilities, society can be overwhelming. But whatever the issue you cannot escape your feelings; which is still uncomfortable for some. The good news is, you are not the sum of your feelings. And no feeling or thought makes you a good or bad person, just human. In fact, we are built to experience the full range of human emotions, though many of us are not taught or encouraged to reflect on our inner world leaving us with no idea what to do with all of these feelings. And it is often what we are doing or not doing about our feelings that can keep us from living our fullest lives.

I named my practice "Confluence Psychotherapy" because a confluence is the point when two rivers meet - a point when together what has been separate becomes fuller, deeper, more powerful together. Like a moment when you lose yourself in dance or play, the right connection can help us to find what we need in unexpected and surprising ways. Good therapy can be like that - at times difficult but in the end, exhilarating. I specialize in working through trauma of all forms with older teens and adults of all ages and from a variety of backgrounds.

I believe in working with people from a holistic and self empowerment approach, knowing that each is their own expert, but may need some guidance in uncovering or remembering their strengths, interests, and purpose. Some other approaches I use are Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral, and Mindfulness techniques. However, the therapeutic relationship and feeling comfortable with the person one talks to is the most important basis for the work to begin. I encourage potential clients to interview several therapists.

My clientele seek help with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, couples distress, trauma, parenting difficulties, relationship conflict, and major life transitions. Although I tailor the treatment plan to meet each couple's or individual's needs, the majority of my interventions are drawn from the cognitive-behavioral toolset. I seek to understand strengths, as well as the problems that bring people into my office. Using well-timed humor, relevant research information, and meaningful feedback, I collaboratively design treatment plans that feel "doable." Usually, my clients feel relief in the first few sessions.

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.
