My journey to offer you Connection and Support

Every service I offer exists because I tried it myself in my own healing, and it worked. Each modality under The Advocate's umbrella represents a piece of my own journey - a tool, practice, or approach that helped me transform my deepest wounds into wisdom and my pain into my purpose and passion.

When trauma touched every corner of my life - childhood sexual assault, family domestic violence, suicide attempt, complex grief, and the ripple effects that followed - I searched desperately for healing. I tried therapy after therapy, modality after modality, seeking something that would reach the places where my pain lived deepest. Some approaches helped a little, others transformed everything.

I advocate for those who feel they cannot speak for their themselves, help find their voice. I can bring light to where there is deep darkness and understanding to where there is confusion.

The Advocate's Promise:

 I offer you what truly works - Every technique I offer, every approach I use, every tool I share has been tested in the laboratory of my own healing. I'm not guessing what might help you; I'm sharing what worked for me.

 I offer you hope from my own experiences - When I share with you that healing is possible, I'm telling you what I know because I've walked from the deepest darkness into glimpses of hope.

 I offer you presence - There's no clinical wall between us because I remember what it felt like to need someone who truly understood. I sit beside you, a companion who understands - someone who has made it through and wants to share that journey with you.

Your Voice
When speaking up feels impossible, I help translate your experiences and needs into clear, powerful advocacy.

Light in Dark Places
I bring clarity to complex, confusing situations where you might feel stuck or hopeless. Together, we'll navigate a path forward.

Understanding from Chaos
What feels like an impossible mess often makes perfect sense when viewed with compassion and understanding. I help unravel complexity into manageable steps.

Why The Umbrella Approach Works

Trauma is complex. Healing is personal. What empowers one person might not touch another. That's why The Advocate offers multiple offerings - because I learned that different modalities reach different parts of our pain:

• Some wounds need mutual understanding and connection (Peer Support)

• Some need somatic support (Breathwork)

• Some need integration (Holistic Counselling)

• Some need understanding of the pain and struggle to stay (Suicide Support)

• Some need ritual (Grief Work)

• Some need sisterhood (Support Groups)

Under my umbrella, you don't have to choose just one approach. We can weave together whatever combination serves your unique story, because that's exactly how my own healing happened - not through one way, but through a tapestry of approaches that each addressed different aspects of my experiences.

From My Experiences To offer you tools

Every experience I carry became a doorway to my purpose Every modality I pursued in my darkest moments became a tool I could offer you. Every piece of my journey - the breakdown, the breakthrough, the slow rebuilding - prepared me to walk alongside you in yours.

Your struggles have brought you to the right place. Not because I have all the answers, but because I've asked all the same questions. Not because I've figured it all out, but because I've figured out enough to help empower you to find your way,

This is more than services - this is sanctuary. The Advocate's umbrella isn't just about what I offer; it's about the shelter and understanding it provides. A place where your story is safe, your pain is honored, your healing is possible, and your wholeness is never in question.
