SEXUAL VIOLENCE
Helping women, men, and non-binary adults find meaning and joy in life again.
Healing from Sexual Trauma
Experiencing a horrendous violation can completely shake up a person’s entire being. Most people who start healing from sexual trauma feel scared, lonely, and trapped in pain. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you feel disconnected from friends and family, unable to concentrate, become easily distressed, and often reliving past traumas.
Stuck in negativity and feeling fearful most days, out of touch with your body, unmotivated, and depressed. You may experience overwhelming shame and guilt about what happened to you. Constantly attempting to keep your self safe can feel exhausting. It can be very challenging if you have experienced victim blaming, minimization, and rejection after disclosing your sexual trauma to friends or family.
DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RESONATE WITH YOU?
If these sound true for you, I want you to know that in our society, we have more recently been revealing the trauma of sexual violence. What you are experiencing is normal. Reaching out for help can provide you with the support and encouragement you need. The first step is acknowledging you are worthy of healing. The healing journey is incredibly powerful. You have begun to take responsibility for your healing.

I've helped adults heal from childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault in adulthood. Walking with clients on their healing journey consists of providing safety, building self-worth, and building self-awareness when they are suffering. Transforming survivors into thrivers is a monumental aspect of the healing journey.
