My Approach to Sexual Trauma Therapy
Depending on your needs and goals, sessions may incorporate therapeutic interventions such as:
EMDR therapy (eye movements, desensitization, and reprocessing)
Parts work (internal family systems therapy)
Mindfulness
CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)
DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy)
Nervous system and body-based approaches
Sensate Focus
Body positivity and reconnection
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and paced in a way that prioritizes emotional safety, choice, and nervous system regulation. I want to assure you that engaging in sexual trauma work prioritizes not forcing disclosure or moving faster than you feel manageable. This particular type of trauma therapy is about gently exploring the impacts of your experiences and navigating methods in which you can heal from them, while strengthening the link between your mind and body.
As you feel most comfortable, we may focus on processing experiences, understanding protective responses, rebuilding connection with yourself, and developing tools that support regulation, boundaries, and healing over time.
