Healing on Purpose - Healing Together
Trauma Doesn’t Have the Final Word
I was raped at 14 years old by two guys, and it changed the trajectory of my life. For a long time, my trauma responses had a hold on me, and it felt like trauma had the final say. That was until I learned that what was done to me was only one part of my story. The other chapters were mine to begin, with my voice and pen. Healing on purpose changed my trajectory once more. I then understood that my trauma responses were normal and that my identity was centered in Christ and not what was done to me. What do you do once you’ve been healed? You help others to do the same and walk in freedom. Birthed from purpose and pain, Our Writings on the Wall is my ministry. I am a NYS-licensed social worker, have a master's in psychology and social change, a certificate in Violence Against Women and Children, and am a Certified Trauma Professional.
Together, we create space for healing, connection, and reclaiming your story.
