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.
Many of our therapists work with sexual abuse survivors. We feel that sexual abuse survivors need and deserve a safe and secure place to discuss their pain and survivor-hood. Dr. Sanness and Dr. Nelson specialize in trauma. Dr. Sanness also specialized in Complex Trauma (repeated trauma that has occurred over developmental time periods throughout the life-span).
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.
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.
