“I feel ashamed and broken because of what happened to me.”

---

“I struggle with intimacy, even in safe relationships.”

---

“I want to move forward, but the memories still haunt me.”

Sound familiar?

I GET IT.

Living with the effects of sexual abuse can feel overwhelming and isolating.

You may have spent years trying to bury the pain, but it keeps surfacing—impacting your relationships, your sense of self, and your daily life.

SEXUAL ABUSE CAN LEAVE YOU STRUGGLING WITH:

• Feelings of guilt, shame, or worthlessness
  
  
• Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
  
  
• Avoiding intimacy or enduring it without connection
  
  
• Persistent flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts
  
  
• A sense of disconnection from your body or emotions
  
  ​Over time, these struggles can feel like a cycle you can’t escape, leaving you emotionally exhausted and alone.

BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO FACE THIS ALONE.

Healing from sexual abuse is possible, no matter how long it has been or how deeply it has affected you.

IMAGINE A FUTURE WHERE YOU CAN:

​​​

1. Feel Safe in Your Own Skin
   Learn to reconnect with your body and emotions, replacing fear and shame with a sense of safety and self-compassion.
2. Build Meaningful Connections
   Develop trust in yourself and others, allowing you to create relationships that are rooted in mutual respect, understanding, and care.
3. Reclaim Your Power
   Free yourself from the hold of the past, rebuild your confidence, and live with a sense of control and agency over your life.

MY APPROACH

I use a complex trauma-informed, neurobiological approach to help you heal at your own pace.

TOGETHER, WE’LL…

• Explore the ways the abuse has impacted your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
• Work to rebuild trust with yourself and create a sense of safety within your body and mind.
• Develop tools to manage triggers, regulate emotions, and cultivate resilience.

Sexual abuse may have shaped parts of your story, but it doesn’t define who you are. Healing is about reclaiming your power, reconnecting with yourself, and moving toward a life that feels whole.

Sexual abuse can shape how you see yourself and the world—but it doesn’t define who you are. You are not broken. You are reclaiming your strength and healing.

FAQS ABOUT SEXUAL ABUSE THERAPY:

How does sexual abuse affect intimacy and relationships?

Sexual abuse can make intimacy and relationships challenging. You may struggle with trust, fear vulnerability, or feel disconnected during moments of closeness. For some, intimacy may trigger memories of the abuse, while others may avoid it entirely. Therapy helps you explore these patterns, rebuild trust, and create safe, meaningful connections.

Can therapy help with feelings of shame or self-blame?
​
Yes, therapy can help you understand that the abuse was not your fault and challenge the shame or self-blame that often comes with it. Together, we’ll work to reframe harmful beliefs, cultivate self-compassion, and help you see yourself through a kinder, more empowered lens.

What if I can’t talk about certain aspects of the abuse?

You don’t have to share every detail to heal. Therapy focuses on how the experience affects you now and helps you find ways to cope, rebuild safety, and process your emotions at your own pace. We will create a safe space for you to explore what feels manageable without pushing you to go beyond your comfort level.

How will I know if therapy is helping me heal?

Healing looks different for everyone, but common signs of progress include feeling more at ease in your body, experiencing fewer triggers, and building stronger, more trusting relationships. You may also notice a decrease in shame and self-criticism and an increase in self-compassion. Regular check-ins in therapy will help us track your growth and ensure we’re meeting your needs.
