healing through shared experiences

I’m not a therapist. I’m not a self-help guru. I’m a survivor—of dysfunction, of trauma, of silence. I created Finding Eden and Voices of Strength because I know what it’s like to have no one to call when everything inside you feels like it’s breaking.

I grew up in a family where love came with conditions, where emotions were dismissed, and where speaking your truth was punished. 

 At 19, I moved to California in search of something more—but what I found was pain I never could’ve imagined. I’ve lived through domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, and the kind of deep, unspoken grief that doesn’t have a name. I’ve had six abortions, each one carrying its own complex weight. And for years, I carried all of it in silence.

I’ve spent the last 12 years navigating chronic depression, CPTSD, and the heavy aftermath of trauma while trying to survive in a world that doesn’t always hold space for the broken or the hurting. But even in my darkest moments, I held onto a vision—of creating a space for people like me. People who’ve been alone. People who’ve never had a safety net. People who have carried their pain in silence for far too long.

That’s how Voices of Strength was born. Not from a polished plan—but from a lived experience. From a real need for a safe space where healing is allowed to be messy, emotions are honored, and no one has to pretend they’re okay when they’re not.

I don’t have all the answers, and I never will. But what I do have is my story—and the courage to share it so others don’t feel so alone in theirs.

Whether you’re here to listen, to share, or to start your own journey toward healing—welcome. You belong here.

Private Sessions Now Available

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Voices of Strength is now offering scheduled private support sessions to provide a more personalized and flexible space for you to share, reflect, and heal at your own pace. These 1:1 sessions are safe, non-clinical, and guided with care—rooted in real, lived experience and trauma-informed practices.

Group Sessions

A group session will be scheduled when there is enough interest. If you’d like to be part of the next community session, join the waitlist. Once we reach at least 6 confirmed participants, the next group circle will be announced.

Donation-Based Access

All sessions are donation-based to remain accessible to everyone.

We suggest a contribution of $25–$40 per private session to help sustain this work, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Your support helps keep this space alive for others walking similar paths.
