About Andrew
Whether you know it or not, your sexual self is the deepest and most primal part of who you are.
And when it’s disrupted, it changes you.
You may be here because you were harmed and want to get yourself back. A desire to understand a part of you on a deeper level. Or maybe it’s something else.
Whatever the reason, the experiences you’ve had combined with the confusion and shame brought on by your upbringing and societal judgment has gotten in your way.
Imagine freedom from shame, guilt, hurt, and anger.
Imagine freedom to pursue what YOU want in life, no matter where it takes you.
Imagine learning and discovering who you are meant to be!
It’s time to change. You are ready.
Ready for a life of dignity.
All you need is support and direction from someone who knows how to help you find yourself.
I went into this work because, at a young age, I saw how women are treated in the world and wanted to make it better.
Part of the solution.
I help by:
· Seeing how your hurts have interfered with your passions
· Connecting the past so you can see how it affects you now
· Helping you put words to those things you can’t say
· Unlinking painful feelings from your memories of the past
· Helping you stop hurting yourself
· Using the strengths you can’t see to build your future
· Bringing forth your creative spirit to find your passionate path
· Helping you face what happened, directly and with compassion
I have over 25 years’ experience working with female sexual trauma, speaking & training around the world on aspects of sexual assault that most in the field of trauma recovery won’t even look at.
I know. I understand. I care.
And I’m ready to help you.
