Our Mission:
Empower.
The Doctor said to me, “You are not alone, there are a ton of victims of sexual assault. There has been a lot of treatment created to help you through this process." I never understood why me not being alone was important, when I have felt alone for years. The programs and systems that were in place and that are in place were not for me. Why? because like bruises we all heal in different stages and you are never cured, you learn to live the best new life you can, after someone else decided to change the course of yours .
My Story
Being a survivor of child sexual assault and military sexual assault. My process of living this new life has been tough. While writing my autobiography, I was inspired by God and I put it down on paper. This begin the journey of the tool called “BRUISED”.
Your Story
Sexual Assault whether it is verbal, physical, or emotional, your truth, and my truth or experience are not the same. So in some aspect, we are alone. Sympathy and Empathy are given once our silence is broken.
Our Story
We have all handled our circumstances differently. I no longer want to be alone nor do I want you to. So, please add your stories or gather a group of family or friends and let’s heal. If your friends and family are unavailable, I am here to assist. Schedule a session with me to start your healing process. You do not have to do this alone, I am here to help with your healing process.

Our Practice
Bruised Healing USA is an information sharing tool to assist sexual assault victims. First by helping in UNDERSTANDING SEXUAL ASSAULT, assistance in recognizing where they are in healing process, and how to communicate this to others. While also advocating and providing other resources that are available.
“
As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
