Sexual abuse can leave us with several destructive thoughts and feelings about ourselves and/or others. But you do not need to be alone. I will work with you on strategies for coping to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having to move you forward in your healing process. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

This topic holds significant personal resonance for me; I have undergone extensive training and provided counseling while developing numerous presentations on it. Your inner pain and fractures will be acknowledged and respected, with your trauma being understood and appreciated, as it holds the potential for insight and resilience to emerge as you bravely embark on your journey toward inner healing. Even amidst the darkness, a pathway leads out, awaiting your discovery.
Sexual abuse is life-altering violence. These experiences can shift how you see yourself, how you see others, and how you might cope with life-stress -- even when it is unrelated to the abuse. I can help you explore trauma in a supportive and accepting way and find ways to cope and move forward.
I worked with survivors of sex abuse and trauma since my internship. Building emotional safety will be instrumental in my work with you and hope that you'll allow me the privilege of supporting you in likely the hardest periods of your life.
I have several years experience working in an agency that supports survivors of sexual assault and supporters of survivors of sexual assault. Here I provided individual and group counselling utilizing a variety of modalities that catered to each individual.
