I am not, and do not replace a licensed therapist. I focus on context, communication, organization, and rebuilding. I do not diagnose, treat, or assess mental health. When a survivor needs clinical or medical care, I help identify appropriate resources and ensure they are connected with licensed professionals.

I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology and have completed coursework in the neurobiology of trauma, restorative and transformative justice, and healing sexual trauma.

My work is grounded in the core principles of trauma-informed care: safety; trustworthiness and transparency; peer support; collaboration and mutuality; empowerment, voice, and choice; and cultural, historical, and gender considerations.
I follow

My experience includes extensive work with trauma survivors across sexual assault recovery, medical abuse, and institutional betrayal. I’ve led expressive-writing workshops for Planned Parenthood and facilitated groups for veterans and survivors using substances to cope with trauma. I’ve conducted research on community-building for at-risk college students, developed programs for higher-education trauma survivors, and spoken publicly about my own medical sexual abuse. I was invited to testify at California Senate hearings on behalf of more than 400 sexual assault survivors and continue to serve as a public advocate and speaker on trauma, institutional harm, and survivor rights.

I provide non-clinical coaching focused on grounding, stabilization, and rebuilding after assault. I work alongside - not instead of - clinical care. My role focuses on practical support, particularly around narrative processing, communication, and navigating the aftermath of assault. I support survivors involved in legal action against the perpetrator, but do not offer legal advice.

I guide survivors through expressive writing as a way to process experiences, restore narrative control, and strengthen clarity. There are 400+ research studies that show a significant benefit to expressive writing in lowering blood pressure and other physical states, along with a strong ability to help process emotions.

Each session focuses on grounding, clarity, and building a sense of agency over your life. From there, we work on the specific parts of your life that feel disrupted after assault or institutional harm. This can include rebuilding routines, organizing next steps, preparing for difficult conversations, or using expressive writing as a healing tool. My approach is warm, honest, and action-focused, helping you regain stability, make decisions with confidence, and move through the aftermath with more structure and less overwhelm.

No. You share only what feels necessary. Coaching does not require retelling or disclosing specifics as they can be retraumatizing and counterproductive. I encourage clients to work with a licensed therapist who specializes in EMDR and other techniques to heal trauma of the event(s).

Yes. I offer sessions for loved ones who want to understand how to support a survivor without causing further strain. These sessions focus on communication, boundaries, stability, and practical ways to show up in a grounded way.

Yes. Many survivors use a mix of individual coaching, expressive-writing guidance, and support sessions with loved ones. We create a structure that matches what you need, whether that’s boundaries, clarity, or reconnecting with your support system who haven’t known how to help.

I provide support for survivors navigating public attention, legal proceedings, or media pressure. This includes helping you stay grounded, prepare for conversations, manage overwhelming communication, and maintain a sense of control when multiple systems - legal, institutional, or press - are involved. I do not offer legal advice; I help you stay centered, organized, and supported during an exhausting and often public process.

No. This is solely coaching. I do not provide therapy, legal advice, or medical guidance. I help with practical stabilization, planning, resourcing, and navigating life after trauma. I work with survivors who are navigating lawsuits against the perpetrator from an emotional standpoint, and coach survivors who are involved in media interactions.
