Processing Sexual Trauma at Your Own Pace, With a Clear Clinical Path
Whether the experience was recent or long in the past, sexual trauma can affect safety, trust, intimacy, and your relationship with your own body long after the event itself. I use structured, evidence-based methods to help you process it and regain control.
How trauma processing works
I primarily use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based, structured treatment specifically designed for trauma, alongside somatic techniques that help process trauma stored in the body rather than only in thought patterns. The goal isn't to relive the experience in detail against your will — it's to help you understand and shift the beliefs the trauma left behind (about safety, trust, self-blame, or your body) at a pace you control.
Sexual trauma often affects intimacy and relationships long after the event itself, which is why I also work with couples navigating how a partner's trauma history shows up in their current relationship — always led by what the survivor is ready for, never pushed.
This work is confidential and trauma-informed from the first conversation: you set the pace, and we never process more than you're ready to in a given session.

Questions about sexual trauma therapy
What survivors and partners often ask.
Will I have to describe what happened in detail?
Not before you're ready, and never against your will. We move at your pace — early sessions often focus on building safety and stability before any detailed processing begins.
How does Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) work?
CPT is a structured, time-limited therapy that helps identify and shift unhelpful beliefs trauma can create — about safety, trust, self-blame, or control — using specific, evidence-based techniques rather than open-ended talk alone.
Can my partner be involved in my healing process?
If and when you want that, yes — I offer joint sessions to help partners understand how to support your healing, always led by what you're comfortable sharing.
Is this confidential?
Yes, fully — protected by standard confidentiality and HIPAA protections. Telehealth is also available if you'd prefer more privacy than an in-person visit.
You don't have to process this alone.
A consultation can help you understand what a path forward might look like, with no pressure to share more than you're ready to.
