Healing from childhood sexual abuse is a deeply personal process. It takes time, safety, and support that honors your pace. Whether you're beginning to name these experiences or have been carrying them quietly for years, you deserve a space where your story is met with care and respect.
In our work together, we can focus on rebuilding trust, processing complex emotions, and understanding how trauma may have shaped your relationships or sense of self. For some, this means learning how to navigate triggers or regulate the nervous system. For others, it's about reclaiming a sense of agency, strengthening boundaries, or simply being witnessed in a compassionate space.
If you're a parent seeking support for your child, I offer a trauma-informed, developmentally sensitive approach that centers safety and connection. Together, we’ll move intentionally, guided by your needs and readiness.
Areas We Can Work On:
Processing trauma in a safe, supportive space

Addressing the long-term impacts of trauma, including anxiety and PTSD
