The Help You Need

Trauma specific therapy

Therapy aides in processing and healing from traumatic events and the effects it has on the self. I practice from a trauma informed lens utilizing mindfulness practices, EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) modalities.

Managing pornography and sex addiction behaviors

Individual and family therapy aides in addressing the underlying issues related to sexual behaviors that feel unmanageable.

Child Custody and Co-parenting mediation

A comprehensive child custody evaulation can provide needed guidance and understanding as to the best
interests of the child during or after a parental divorce or separation. In addition to forensic evaluation, co-parenting mediation and coaching can provide guidance and support to limit the courts from being involved in visitation, custody schedules or contact.

Adult and adolescent sexually abusive behaviors treatment

Treatment is aligned with ATSA principles and standards of care. Providing individual, family and group modalities to work through the dynamics of the criminally convicted or non-charged behavior.

Treatment modalities include increasing healthy sexual and social skills, reduction of unhealthy arousal, management of internal and external triggers and increasing internal strengths for offense reduction.

Treatment for adolescents and young adults who have been accused or indicated to have engaged in sexually abusive behaviors is quite different from adult treatment. Treatment is unique to the individual's needs; treatment modalities include psychoeducation, healthy sexual development skills, communication and attachment skill development and increasing strengths for resiliency goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is utilized as well as victim impact and trauma informed principles

Partner/Family support for sexual abuse/addiction

Often times sexual addiction or maladaptive sexual behavior problems leave the supporting partner without the services and guidance to work on healing and growth.

Support for high conflict divorce/co-parenting and custody

Exploring non-traditional relationship dynamics, polyamory, and sexual identity

Healing from abusive relationships, understanding patterns of abuse and unhealthy relationship dynamics

Family Reunification/Family safety planning

Family reunification services are deemed appropriate on a case by case basis following case review, interviews with abuser and the person who was hurt (primary and secondary victims) and any collateral support services that are important to the family system. Family reunification is individualized to the family needs and wants in regards to addressing the past experiences as well as developing safety and boundary planning for all future contact.

Family safety planning includes creating a safe environment for all members of a household in order to protect further familial abuse.

Services includes development of recommendations for household safety measures and increasing open and transparent dialogue to discuss and empower all family members to feel safe within the home.

LPC Supervision

I offer individual clinical licensure supervision for clinicians seeking LPC hours. Supervision includes case consultation, teaching skills related to trauma and sexual abuse and resource referrals

Psychosexual risk and needs assessment

Risk and needs assessments can be performed pre-conviction/adjudication or following a conviction to determine treatment and supervision needs.

EMDR: HEALING FROM WITHIN

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.

Teaching healthy sex and consent education

Adolescents are bombarded with images, messages and misinformation regarding sexual behavior, gender roles and how to navigate relationship development in the l age of technology and social media. e Consent is the foundation of all sexual behaviors and my workshops take an honest approach to relationship skill building, healthy consent, gender roles and stereotypes, sexual identity, safe sex (physical and "online") and all of the other questions they're afraid to ask but look to Google (or their friends) for the answers.

Consent
Safe sex
Online safety
Pornography risks/addiction
Legal/illegal sexual behaviors
