Trauma Therapy for PTSD, Sex and Relationship Issues

Individual Sex & Trauma Therapy

When sexual difficulties, intimacy challenges, or past trauma impact your daily life, it can trigger an overwhelming cycle of fear, chronic stress, and emotional burnout. Whether you are currently in a partnership or navigating life on your own, you may realize that deeply rooted personal struggles are affecting your emotional well-being and your ability to connect with others.

Often, a history of trauma makes establishing and maintaining healthy relationship boundaries feel incredibly challenging. If you have endured complex, repetitive trauma—such as childhood emotional abuse, sexual assault, neglect, systemic hardships, or growing up with a caregiver struggling with substance use or mental illness—it can feel almost impossible to feel truly safe in your body or to trust those around you.

An Integrative, Somatic Approach to Healing

Traditional talk therapy is an important tool, but talking about deep-seated trauma can sometimes feel ineffective, frustrating, or even re-traumatizing. Because trauma is fundamentally stored in the nervous system, our individual sessions will expand beyond standard talk therapy to include body-centered, somatic approaches.

Together, we will utilize:

Somatic Mindfulness: Exercises such as targeted body scanning and regulated breathing techniques to help you gently cultivate physical self-awareness. Building this bridge to your physical self is an essential baseline for managing emotional regulation and reducing panic.
EMDR Therapy: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help your brain safely reprocess old, painful memories, allowing you to break free from past triggers and live more freely in the present.

Let’s work together in individual therapy to help you step out of a state of chronic fear and disconnect, and move into a grounded space of genuine acceptance, safety, and self-love.

What can I expect out of therapy?

Sessions begin on a weekly basis, although some clients eventually choose to increase or decrease frequency based on their needs. Your first session will be spent reviewing your intake questionnaire and setting goals. Whether you have been in therapy before, or are new to the practice, my goal is to provide a rewarding experience on your path to relational growth.

Do you take insurance?

I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna health insurance including the State Health Plan. I do not accept Medicaid or Medicare. Clients using insurance are sometimes responsible for a co-pay or deductible each session. If you have another type of insurance other than BCBS or Aetna, you may qualify for out-of-network benefits. I can provide a Superbill, which you can submit to your provider for possible reimbursement. I recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card to learn more about your mental health benefits.

Where are you located?

I offer my services via Telehealth, also known as online video therapy, to residents of North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. I can work with clients state-wide!

What’s online counseling like?

Sessions take place via HIPAA-compliant, encrypted, secure video technology to ensure your confidentiality. We will be speaking face-to-face via a live video. In most cases, video counseling allows for more convenience and comfort for the client. Read more here.

Am I a good fit for therapy?

My clients are individuals who are seeking to improve their relationships, build self-esteem, and rediscover joyful living. Some are recovering from lifelong struggles, battling short-term problems, or seeking peace and clarity in their current situation. My free video consultation can help decide if we’re a good fit for each other.
