HOPE GROWS HERE
Healing from Childhood Sexual Abuse
You are brave and, my guess is, you don’t even know it. I hope we meet in person one day. Perhaps over a cup of coffee or tea on my front porch swing. I will remind you of your bravery—what it takes to acknowledge that childhood sexual abuse effects your life. Maybe searching “sexual abuse” or even, “why can’t I get over it,” brought you to the site. No matter how you arrived, you are welcome here.
The resources we offer aim to help you heal from childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and overcome unhealthy patterns of behavior developed to protect you from the pain of abuse. You’ll find blog posts, online individual and group coaching programs and more information about my trauma therapy services. And, there are always more exciting resources in the works! The best way to find out what’s launching soon is to connect with me through my mailing list, Facebook and Instagram.
