When we are assaulted, it takes something from us, often leaving us with a pervasive sense of fear and mistrust. The experience can profoundly alter how we see the world and our place in it. We might find ourselves constantly checking locks and windows, withdrawing from loved ones, and feeling unsure of who is safe. This heightened vigilance and isolation become part of our daily lives, overshadowing our sense of security and peace.

​

Compounding this pain is the societal stigma and victim-blaming mentality that many of us encounter. We're told to dress modestly, avoid going out alone at night, and continuously alter our behavior to avoid being targeted. We live in fear, worrying if it will happen again. The real solution to violence, however, lies in people choosing not to commit these acts. It doesn't matter what you wore, what you said, what you did or didn't do, whether you consumed drugs or alcohol, or if you went to someone's house—none of these justify someone assaulting you. What happened is not your fault, and I am deeply sorry that you have endured this.

I have dedicated my practice to supporting and advocating for those who have experienced violence. I have been present during police statements, hospital examinations, and throughout the daunting aftermath, offering unwavering support. I am here to help you navigate these systems and to provide a safe, supportive space for your healing journey.
