Sex Therapy for Trauma Survivors.
You’re ready to experience real pleasure.
Sexual trauma can create lasting wounds that make intimacy feel overwhelming, confusing, or even unsafe. If you’ve found yourself avoiding touch, disconnecting during sex, or feeling shame about your desires, you’re not alone — and there’s nothing broken about you. These responses are natural ways the body and mind protect themselves after harm.
Sex therapy offers a space to gently explore your relationship with your body, your boundaries, and your sense of sexual self — at your own pace. Together, we can process the impact of trauma on your sexual well-being and move toward reclaiming pleasure, safety, and connection. Whether you’re navigating partnered intimacy or rediscovering your own desires, we’ll honor your story, your timing, and your truth.
Healing doesn’t mean rushing into something that doesn’t feel right — it means allowing space for your whole self to be seen, heard, and held with compassion.
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
✱ You feel safe in your body and your surroundings
✱ You trust yourself—and believe your boundaries matter
✱ You can rest, connect, and experience intimacy without fear
✱ You begin to feel whole again, maybe for the first time
Healing from sexual trauma doesn’t happen all at once, but step by step, breath by breath, it is possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Therapy can help you slowly, gently reconnect with the parts of yourself that trauma tried to take.
In therapy, you can begin to:
Feel safe again—inside your body, your relationships, and your everyday life
Understand your trauma response, without shame or judgment
Build trust with yourself, and learn to listen to your needs and boundaries
Explore intimacy and connection in ways that feel empowering, not overwhelming
Therapy won’t erase what happened, but it can help you loosen the grip it has on your present. Together, we’ll work at your pace, in a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your pain. You get to choose how we move forward—whether that’s processing memories, rebuilding self-worth, or simply having one place in your life that feels safe.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, I WANT YOU TO KNOW:
You are not broken. You are not to blame. And healing is possible—even if it hasn’t felt that way for a long time.

FAQs

No. You are always in control of what you share and when. Some people come to therapy ready to talk, and others need time to build trust—and both are completely okay. We’ll move at your pace, with your safety and comfort at the center.
-
That’s incredibly common. If something happened that still lives in your body, still affects how you feel, or still shows up in your relationships—you’re allowed to seek support. You don’t need a specific label or clear memory to deserve healing.

I use trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, parts work (inner child work), and somatic strategies to help gently process trauma and reconnect with your body. Everything we do is grounded in safety, consent, and connection.
-
No. Healing doesn’t require you to tell every detail of your story. Some people choose to share more, and others focus on the impact trauma has had on their present life. EMDR, in particular, allows us to process trauma without needing to talk through it in depth.
-
Many survivors carry guilt or shame around how they froze, complied, or coped—and none of that is your fault. Your nervous system did what it had to do to survive. Therapy can help you understand those responses with compassion instead of blame.
-
It’s different for everyone. Some people notice shifts early on, while others take more time. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you—there’s no deadline for healing.
