In her private counseling practice, Trish specializes in helping those impacted by sexual abuse and exploitation. She specializes in sexual abuse recovery and restoration, to help survivors find healing from its lifelong impact.  She works primarily with adult women and families in crisis.  Trish helps clients walk through a proven recovery and restoration process to understand how their abuse impacted their past, how it affects their present life and relationships, and how to move forward into the abundant future God has for them. She believes that true healing and transformation from sexual trauma comes from God and his plan to reclaim the identity and purpose he had for his children prior to abuse.
