Sexual Abuse
and Trauma

Sexual trauma can seep into every layer of life—your body, your sense of trust, your relationships, and your ability to feel safe in the present. 

 

No matter if it stems from childhood abuse, adult assault, coercion, or boundary violations, trauma often lingers through flashbacks, hypervigilance, shame, emotional numbing, or feeling disconnected from your body.

 

In therapy, we approach this work gently and collaboratively. Using trauma-informed modalities like EMDR, parts work (IFS), and somatic regulation techniques, we create space to process what happened—without reactivating it. It’s not a case of forcing memory or retelling your story in detail. Instead, we focus on building safety, restoring choice, and gently reclaiming what trauma may have taken from you.

You may be seeking support for:

  • Adult Survivors of Sexual Abuse
