You didn’t ask for it, and it was not your fault.

And now you are ready to put it in your past and live more fully.

Despite being smart, successful, and mostly having your act together, it’s getting harder to pretend it didn’t happen or wasn’t a big deal. 

It is such a weight on your life.

You are ready to see what life would be like if you addressed this head-on in therapy.

Perhaps you haven’t told anyone. It is too embarrassing, or it will only complicate things.

Or maybe you told someone and it went poorly.

You were blamed, not believed, they minimized your experience.

The hurt. The fear. The anger. The shame. The loneliness.

You are not alone.  This unfortunately is all far too common. 

You deserve to be heard and feel whole again after sexual trauma & assault.

Sexual abuse and sexual assault, including rape, molestation, and incest, can bring on symptoms related to PTSD, depression and anxiety, and these can intensify over time if not treated.

For many, even though the abuse is not happening now, some days it feels like the danger never left.

As an experienced sexual trauma therapist, I have worked with many people in your shoes.

I already believe you.

You can talk about as much or as little as you want.

(With the therapies I use, you don’t need to talk about much, if that is your preference)

I will show up, be 100% present, supportive, and follow-through with what I say I will do. 

Gradually, we will examine and understand how what happened is impacting your life today.

You will lead the pace so it does not feel overwhelming or like you are handling too much at one time.

Big and small things will start happening as you begin to heal and gain control over your symptoms.

The potential benefits my clients share are numerous, from maintaining healthier relationships and having fewer physical health problems to feeling increasingly confident and calm throughout each day.

Mostly my clients find more overall enjoyment and feel more in charge of their life.

You will feel equipped to not only process stress as it comes on, but also to relax, connect and communicate more effectively.

You deserve to be free from what happened and to move forward, while being on fire about your life. 

You deserve to move past this, live fully and feel connected to yourself, others and the world around you.
