Therapist, Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Sexual abuse is common and yet still stigmatized. The experience of it can lead to shame and sexual dysfunction within relationships. Even experiences of the way sex is talked about can lead to harm because our bodies are always listening. It's time to reclaim your sexuality for yourself so you can express yourself within the context of relationships in an empowered way.
Sexual abuse causes low self-esteem and traumatic. Bodily reactions that we cannot control. Through processing the trauma and gaining skills while also meditating, I can help to change the way you see our trauma and change the way our body reacts.
A significant portion of my client base have experienced childhood and adult sexual abuse. Not infrequently the abuse may be by a family member or someone you know. Surviving the abuse is an important achievement. Being able to confront, process and successfully move forward in life is an important goal that takes sensitivity, trust and an experienced therapist. I strive to provide this to my clients on their path to healing.
Healing from sexual abuse should be handled by a clinician trained and experienced in this area. We will work together to identify how the past abuse impacts your current functioning and identify areas for change so that you can enjoy living your life more fully.
