Are you a survivor of sexual assault? Did your early years consist of sexual abuse? Are you currently in a violent relationship and do not know where to turn?
There is hope and there is help!
While we cannot undo our trauma or eliminate our early experiences, we can find ways to move beyond our past into a healthy and happy life.
There are many techniques and tools, (including hypnosis and visualization), that can soften the sorrows and struggles with which many survivors deal on a daily basis. You can find peace.
My Background Working With Issues of Abuse
While working toward my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, I decided to focus my education on issues of abuse. I did a year-long internship (800 hours) for a non-profit agency dealing with abuse then was hired as a therapist.
My work began with clients who were survivors of domestic violence then expanded to include survivors of sexual abuse and crisis work. In addition, I facilitated numerous batterers groups with men convicted of domestic violence. Finally, I also began a program working with children who were witnesses of violence with the goal of helping them break the patterns of either becoming a victim or an abuser.
