TRAUMA THERAPY · NEW YORK (TELEHEALTH)
Sexual trauma doesn’t stay in the past. It lives in the nervous system.
If you’re always on edge, shut down, overthinking, or over-functioning just to get through the day, there’s nothing wrong with you. Your system learned how to survive. Therapy can help you feel safer in your body, rebuild trust, and move forward without rushing your story.

What trauma therapy actually does
Warm support + practical change — without pushing you to relive everything to heal.
It helps your nervous system downshift
Trauma often keeps your system stuck in “on” or “off” — hyperalert or numb. Therapy supports regulation so you have more steadiness, fewer spikes, and more room to breathe.
- Less overwhelm and panic
- More sleep, less bracing
- Fewer shutdown moments
It helps you rebuild trust in yourself
We work gently with shame, self-blame, and the protective patterns that formed for a reason. You’ll build clearer boundaries, more self-trust, and a stronger sense of choice.
- More clarity around consent and boundaries
- Less shame, more compassion
- More agency in intimacy and relationships
How I work
Steady pacing. Clear boundaries. A calm, non-performative space to be real.
Safety first
We stabilize before we go deep. Your nervous system sets the pace — not pressure, not timelines.
Understand your protective patterns
We make sense of shutdown, hypervigilance, and coping — without pathologizing you.
Build steady change
Grounding, boundaries, self-trust, and relational repair — practical support that carries into real life.
What you might notice over time
Not a dramatic overnight flip — more like returning to yourself in small, real ways.
In your body
- Less bracing and tension
- Fewer “freeze” moments
- More ability to stay present
In your relationships
- Clearer boundaries without guilt
- More choice in intimacy
- Less shame driving decisions
