Just one

Just one

You only need one person to hear your heartbreak. One person who gets it.

Everything shifts when one person believes you. Belief is validation, affirmation and encouragement. Belief means we're in this together. Belief works against the cultural gas-lighting that happens when your experience is denied or brushed off.

What happened to you is a big deal. It likely changed your life. Find your trusted someone and talk to her. 

Armies are for fighting battles, not building relationships.

Teams are focused on winning, not sharing vulnerabilities.

A critical mass means quantity influences outcome,

not quality influences outcome.

You only need one person who gets it.

Using a trauma-sensitive and social justice framework, my work is helping you understand how culture and personal history influence the decisions you make. So you can shed fear, guilt or shame based "yeses" and "no's" for choices that honor your values, intuition, talents and skills.

I have worked with abuse survivors for 15 years including at three different human services agencies. In those capacities, I've coordinated training and education for community partners and volunteers on abuse dynamics, lethality assessment and crisis intervention. I have also managed a 24 hour domestic violence crisis line, training and overseeing 50 agency volunteers, including students.
