Sexual Abuse
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Sexual abuse reveals a devastating breach of trust that can profoundly impact an individual's sense of self and relationships. Sexual abuse can cause profound emotional wounds that last a lifetime since it is based on the intricate dynamics of power and vulnerability. It can also destroy the foundation of stable attachment ties. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for healing, offering a safe space to navigate the complexities of trauma, process the echoes of past violations, and reclaim agency over one's body and identity. By fostering compassionate connections and addressing the root causes of distress, survivors can embark on a journey of empowerment, resilience, and reclaiming a sense of safety and wholeness in their lives.

Sexual Abuse
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant
Sexual abuse survivors need a safe, sensitive, non-judgmental and trauma-informed therapy setting to experience effective healing. Talk therapy typically requires survivors to recount the details of the sexual abuse without offering a neurobiological pathway to process it, thus often leaving the survivor triggered and retraumatized. I have processed hundreds of sexual abuse memories using EMDR Therapy which does not require us discussing the details, with the bulk of the trauma processing happening in silence. You can always share your experience if you need it to be heard, witnessed and validated. We will also process any persisting second order effects of sexual abuse, such as self-loathing, dissociation, hypersexualization, trust issues, etc. Email me for a free 30-min phone consultation to discuss more.

Sexual Abuse
Counsellor/Therapist, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Do you have intrusive memories or nightmares about past incidents where you experienced sexual abuse? Do you feel 'stuck' in these past experiences and notice that these experiences have impacted your ability to feel safe, trust others, love yourself, or feel connected to others? If you have been told by a health care professional that you may have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or trauma-related symptoms, then you have come to the right place. I offer extensive work with PTSD and trauma using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). CPT is designed to help you process your trauma by helping you to feel 'unstuck'. We will discuss you trauma(s) and the thoughts and feelings you may be having about it. You will participate in a journey of analyzing these thoughts closely and allowing your therapist to help you understand your trauma in a different way.
