About

The Voices Project was conceived in 2012 while attending a training for working with abused children.  I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, who has never had an appropriate platform for speaking out about what happened to me and how what I went through affected my life.  

My photography work has led me to work with people who have been through quite a bit in their lives - life threatening illnesses, abuse, loss...  Many people have said that their sessions were healing.  

I would like to use my training as an advocate for victims along with my professional photography to help those that have experienced sexual abuse or sexual assault in their lives to tell their stories.  (Please note, that while I have been trained to provide advocacy services for survivors, I am not licensed to provide counseling or therapy.)
