I specialize in treating sexual abuse, physical abuse and PTSD. I utilize skills from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as well as prolonged exposure therapy (PE) to help clients emotionally process their trauma self-compassionately.
I often apply current, best-practice treatments for PTSD and depression to aid my clients in recovery from past sexual abuse experiences, both from child- and adulthood. These techniques help clients heal regardless of whether the abuse occurred briefly or over a prolonged period. I treat both men and women with histories of sexual abuse and assault and try to be especially attuned to the unique forms of stigma that are often perceived by clients.
Much of my research and clinical work has been focused on childhood sexual abuse, military sexual trauma, and sexual assault. Together, we can help you overcome the trauma that you experienced and take back your life from trauma.
The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.
