I've been working as a Mental Health Therapist specializing in trauma & sexual assault since July! My practice partners with PCH, Banner, and Mayo to provide trauma informed therapy for sexual assault survivors in their immediate time of crisis. While it's a difficult and heavy subject, I am passionate about the hope that comes from (often young people) being vulnerable and asking for help, and my goal of assisting them in the healing process and believing they can still develop healthy future relationships.
During the holiday season, I am participating in a clothing drive that provides the ability for hospitals to stock up on comfortable clothing in the places where kits are completed for victims, in an effort to create a small level of comfort in these moments. It may seem insignificant, but having new clothing to go home in during a vulnerable time can be incredibly beneficial. My team's goal is to raise enough money for 100 new sweatpants/crewneck sets at each location.
