Sexual abuse encompasses a range of experiences, from childhood trauma to assault in various relationships. Each individual story is distinct. Regardless of the context of the abuse, I strongly believe in possibilities beyond healing, moving towards growth and empowerment.

Survivors often grapple with a complex array of emotions and symptoms:

Shame: A heavy burden of guilt and self-blame
Trust Issues: Challenges in trusting others and sometimes oneself
Anxiety And Fear: Persistent feelings of unease and apprehension
Emotional Shutdown: Disconnection as a means of coping
Anger: Persistent, unresolved anger

In treating sexual abuse, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to facilitate healing. This approach allows individuals to revisit and reprocess past experiences, offering a means to rescue their younger selves from traumatic memories and to feel empowered. ART is conducted with respect for your comfort level, not requiring the disclosure of details unless you choose to share. This method prioritizes your comfort and autonomy throughout the healing journey.

Healing from sexual abuse is a transformative process aimed at regaining a sense of safety and empowerment. It involves reshaping your relationship with the past, enabling you to reflect on difficult experiences with resilience and strength. I provide a safe, judgment-free space for individuals of all genders, understanding the unique challenges faced in confronting sexual abuse. This supportive environment is designed to facilitate the start of your healing journey and personal empowerment, regardless of whether you choose to verbalize your experiences. Sexual abuse is a deeply personal trauma, and in my practice, I offer unwavering support throughout your recovery. You are not alone in the process; I am here to guide and support you every step of the way, ensuring a path to healing that respects your individual experience and needs.
