Sexual Abuse Therapists in Eugene, OR

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.

We provide trauma-informed care for survivors of sexual abuse. Therapy emphasizes safety, empowerment, and healing at the client’s pace.

Healing from sexual abuse involves reconnecting to safety, agency, and trust in one’s own body and experience. I provide a compassionate and slow space to process trauma, integrate emotional and somatic experiences, and rebuild a sense of embodiment and agency in one's selfhood.

I provide trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced sexual trauma or boundary violations. Many people carry the impact of these experiences in ways that affect trust, safety, relationships, and their sense of self. In therapy, we move at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Together, we’ll explore the emotional and physiological effects of what you’ve been through, while also attending to the deeper patterns that may continue to show up in your life. The focus is on helping you feel more grounded, supported, and in control of your own process, while rebuilding a sense of safety, self-trust, and connection to yourself.

I have several years of experience with trauma and assaults, PTSD. I am able to assist in the process, to create a safe place and teach relaxation techniques and move to a place of being a survivor.

Eugene is home to the University of Oregon and has a strong progressive, arts-driven identity, with a notably high density of therapists relative to its population and a community that generally holds therapy in high regard. The city's significant homelessness crisis, economic inequality, and substance use challenges sit in some tension with its progressive reputation, and therapists in Eugene often work across the full spectrum of economic circumstance. Lane County Behavioral Health provides publicly funded services, while a robust private therapy sector caters to university faculty, students, healthcare workers, and the outdoor recreation and arts communities. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma, identity and life transitions, and the stresses of living in a city grappling openly with housing insecurity and addiction alongside an otherwise strong quality of life.
