Healing from sexual abuse is a process.

First of all one must understand that the mind and the body live in the same house. One directly influences the other. Second, it is important to understand that no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to dissect the pieces of yourself you don’t like and throw them out.

History cannot be undone. Once the glass is shattered you cannot un-shatter it. But take heart, this is not as terrible as it sounds. Human beings are resilient animals.

We have to be, life on this planet is not easy for any of us. Trauma happens.

Pain is pain, regardless of how it was inflicted. This means that no matter what caused your pain, you can benefit from treatment. Many people struggle with feeling as if they are not entitled to get help because what happened to them is not as bad as what happened to someone else. There will always be a story that is worse or judged not as bad as your own story. There is no ultimate list of sexual violations that correlates clearly to a corresponding list of emotional and psychological wounds. It’s all a mish mash depending on who you are, how you were raised, your strengths, your vulnerabilities, etc… So the moral of the story is if it hurts, get some help. The sooner the better.

My passion is in helping people to heal from the debilitating effects of dysfunctional relationships and traumatic events. Here's how I help:

• Would you like to be free from reliving the past day after day?

• Do the same problems follow you around from one relationship to the next?

• Are you interested in a mode of therapy that incorporates your mental, physical and emotional self?
