Sexual Abuse Therapists in Davenport, IA

Nearly half of women (45.1%) in the United States experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetimes and more than 1 in 6 men (16.9%) in the U.S. experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetimes (NSVRC 2026). As can be seen by these numbers, sexual abuse affects both men and women. If you are a survivor of contact sexual violence and are looking for help, as a trauma informed therapist using an integrated approach of EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I can help. Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation call to see if I might be able to help you.

I specialize in evidence-based treatment approaches for acute and chronic trauma. I have advanced training in the treatment of multiple forms of sexual abuse including incest, intimate partner assault, human trafficking, date rape, and other forms of unwanted sexual behavior by others. My primary approach is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supplemented by ego state therapies.

Sexual abuse is considered treatable using hypnotherapy, which is often utilized to help survivors process trauma, regain self-worth, and reduce PTSD symptoms like flashbacks. It works by addressing subconscious beliefs and emotions in a safe, controlled manner. Experts like Dr. Nancy Irwin suggest it can transform anger and shame into empowerment. If you have suffered from sexual abuse, I am right here to help you recover and heal. I will help you transform yourself into a new you. Of course, I use Dicit hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time and living a happy life now. So should you.

Healing from sexual abuse requires a safe, paced, and trauma-informed approach. I support clients in processing their experiences, reconnecting with their bodies, and restoring a sense of safety and control. Using modalities like EMDR and somatic therapy, we work toward healing without re-traumatization.

Experiences of sexual abuse can impact emotional wellbeing, relationships, trust, and one's sense of safety in the world. Healing from trauma is not a linear process, and many survivors carry shame or silence influenced by family, cultural, or societal messages. We provide trauma-informed care that honors your pace, your story, and your strengths while supporting your healing journey.

Davenport is the largest of the Quad Cities—alongside Bettendorf in Iowa and Rock Island and Moline across the Mississippi River in Illinois—a bi-state metropolitan area with an industrial and agricultural character, and its mental health landscape reflects the economic transitions of the upper Midwest's manufacturing belt alongside the specific challenges of a river city with significant disparities between more affluent and poorer neighborhoods. UnityPoint Health and Genesis Health System provide behavioral health services, and St. Ambrose University contributes to the regional education landscape. The Quad Cities, like many Midwest river cities, have been significantly affected by methamphetamine and opioid use, and substance use treatment is an important component of local mental health care. Common therapy concerns include economic stress tied to manufacturing sector change, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, substance use and recovery, and the mental health challenges of navigating persistent economic uncertainty in the upper Midwest.
