Sexual Trauma Therapy

Every 73 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. Effects of sexual violence can last far past the initial assault. This can include PTSD, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, shame, lack of self-worth, mood swings, chronic pain, depression, sexual dysfunctions, and more. The statistics are alarming, the residual effects profound, but amidst the darkness, it's crucial to remember: recovery is not only plausible but attainable.

Every survivor's journey is unique, and acknowledging the complexity of the healing process is the first step toward empowerment. As disheartening as the statistics are, they don't define the potential for recovery. Rather, they underscore the importance of seeking the support and guidance needed to navigate the path towards healing. Recovery is not a linear path, but it is a journey filled with possibilities, growth, and empowerment. If you're considering therapy, know that you're not alone, and it's a courageous step towards reclaiming your life. Know that I am here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, understanding, and unwavering support as you embark on this transformative journey towards healing and self-empowerment.

EMDR Therapy

an evidence-based approach designed to help you process traumatic experiences, reduce emotional distress, and pave the way for a renewed sense of well-being

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Experiencing trauma can affect the brain's natural ability to recover from distressing events. EMDR therapy is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories through alternating eye movements, sounds, or taps. EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and has demonstrated effectiveness for trauma.
How can EMDR therapy help?

Our brains have a natural way to recover from traumatic memories and events. While many times traumatic experiences can be managed and resolved spontaneously, they may not be processed without help. Stress responses are part of our natural fight, flight, or freeze instincts. When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create feelings of overwhelm, of being back in that moment, or of being “frozen in time.” EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories and allows normal healing to resume. The experience is still remembered, but the fight, flight, or freeze response from the original event is resolved.
How does EMDR therapy differ from other therapies?

EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or homework between sessions. EMDR, rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue allows the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR therapy is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. Part of the therapy includes alternating eye movements, sounds, or taps. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies.
