I have worked with sexually violent predators in state facilities and sexual offenders in the community for over 10 years. I also earned independent certification as a sex offender treatment provider with California’s Sex Offender Management Board. Professionally, I transitioned and now focus fully on prevention by prioritizing awareness of the sexual offense cycle, grooming practices, and directly for the benefit of families, parents, and survivors in my community. I offer an affordable group focusing on the dynamics of sexual offending and how the roles of parent and guardian can be asserted to keep kids and families safe, target the needs of young adults dating, and address concerns with online safety. Group can also be provided as a workshop model for professionals interested in learning more and applications in their work.
Drawing from my lived experience working with sexually violent predators, I understand clearly that victimization is difficult to fully prevent and that 100% prevention is an over idealized goal at best. However, I do know that an individual can assert themselves and carry oneself as the most inconvenient victim possible. Group aims at offering an education of the sexual offense cycle, awareness of the grooming process, practical assertive skills related to key points in this cycle, and insight that is specific to the needs of parent, young adult, survivor, and professional. Above all, I wanted to provide something digestible, validating, and affordable to those impacted by extreme boundary violations and would like to learn to catch the manipulation up front.
When no one talks about a problem, the problem gets bigger.
