“Carole helped me find my voice...”
I was sexually abused when I was 8. It was brushed under the rug, and I always had to keep it a secret. I was so angry and didn't know how to deal with it. Carole helped me find my voice and told me it’s okay to be mad and sad about what had happened.
I'm still discovering the effects in other aspects of my life, but Carole has always been there to talk me through it. I learned that abuse affects many different parts of life, but you can work through it, you can be loved, you can be happy, and you can have whatever you want in life if you're willing to do your part. It was hard and still is, but without Carole's help, I honestly don't know where I would be today.

“Carole really helped me come back to life.”
Before working with Carole, I was depressed, and I felt lost, as if i had lost my self and my purpose in life. I had gone through something that really shook me to the core—I had given up on my dreams and myself. Carole really helped me come back to life. She reminded me of who I was and what I was meant to do. She helped me find the confidence to pursue what I love, follow my dreams, and take control of my life again. Thank you, Carole, for reminding me that not all hope is lost.

“You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so others know they aren't alone.”
