I help people with a history of trauma safely resolve the painful and maladaptive effects of their past. The goal is to unwind trauma from the nervous system in order to improve quality of life, learn better coping, and have heathier relationships. This is a collaborative process which is done carefully, to remind your mind and body of its natural state of health.

 

Having worked with The Blue Bench (formerly the Rape Assistance and Awareness Program, RAAP) and WINGS, a local organization that supports adults with a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), I am well versed in the challenges faced by these populations. In the case of sexual abuse or CSA, trust and boundaries have been ruptured; it’s important for the survivor of these terrible offenses to restore safety within themselves and their interpersonal relationships. As a trauma-informed therapist, I will help you safely explore the deeply personal feelings and triggers that accompany your experience.

 

You have every right to safety, healthy connection to others, and to your own intrinsic sexuality. The time to reclaim that is now.
