    • About Me

      I am a therapist. As an abuse survivor, my passion is to help survivors. Of course I need support myself. I believe in empowerment, freedom and finding your life's passion. I am doing research aimed to help therapeutic interventions for female survivors of childhood sexual abuse, self perceptions and sexual functioning (an area I think greatly affected). I have an online survey. Short and anonymous. If anyone is interest I can send the link.

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused by a family member during the ages of 7 to 9 years. I finally told someone (my aunt) at 15. My experience was minimized, pushed aside and I was manipulated to be silent. I truly believe that this was just as damaging. Speaking out, sharing and validation fo my inner child has been an important part of my healing.
