Our philosophy

Serving survivors from within

Our work at Mokwa centers on guiding clients through their trauma – not via the limited lens of any single modality, but by empowering survivors to become agents of their own liberation.

FRAMEWORK + APPROACH

Reclamation through Reconnection

The effects of child sexual abuse make manifest from the chambers of our deepest heart.

This systemic devastation destabilizes us from our very foundations, estranges us from the rootedness of our being, and leaves us unable to decipher the ancient language of our own intuition.

Of the dangers we face within our inner landscape, the most destructive is the insidious poison of isolation. This corrosive toxin eats us alive from the inside out, leaving us emotionally starved, mired in shame, and numbed by the enormity of our pain.

serving survivors

Our work at Mokwa centers on guiding clients through their trauma – not via the limited lens of any single modality, but by empowering survivors to become agents of their own liberation.

We believe reconnection with the ecosystem of the self is the ultimate expression of embodied peace, and that by reintegrating these relationships – between mind, body, heart, and soulfragmented by abuse and traumathe human spirit has the innate ability to repair itself.

By creating a space for open expressionsimple, pure, and true, from one survivor to another – we can begin the process of healing ourselves, our relationships, and our communities.

our values

the mokwa model

An approach grounded in wholeness

  • Mental

    By cultivating awareness of the ingrained thought forms that distort the mind, we create space. In this place of mental clarity and openness, we learn that we are not our thoughts, but the space between them. We cultivate curiosity around our thoughts, and learn to engage them with patience, non-judgement, and compassion.

MODALITIes + TOOLS

Treatment Framework

The Mokwa Model™ was created to bring forth a paradigm shift in the treatment of sexual abuse – from a medicalized model, focused on diagnosis and disease, to an empowerment model that supports survivors holistically.

Manifested in the form of a flexible framework that address the multifaceted areas of life fragmented by childhood sexual abuse, each path is co-created with the survivor to reflect their experiences, desires, and self-defined goals.

THE TRUE MEANING OF HEALING

Systemized to reflect each facet of a survivor’s mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational life, survivors begin their journey where they are in the present – with the opportunity to explore each element of their being as sessions progress.

Put simply, The Mokwa Model is intended to disrupt the current, self-perpetuating system. In place of callous disregard for the human spirit, and a system centered on the never-ending treatment of symptomology, the Mokwa Model focuses on the root cause – the etiology of trauma for so many – childhood sexual abuse.

ONE SPIRIT + MANY PATHS

Training & Experience

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t fit neatly into a box –

Though that once filled me with fear, shame, confusion, and uncertainty, I now embrace it as a point of pride.

I consider myself an educator, adventurer, and a multidisciplinary creative – and move fluidly between these roles and spaces.

Whether you call me a trauma guide, peer support specialist, or an integration expert, what I most hope to be called is a helper and friend. My role is to serve as a compassionate mirror on your journey of self-reconstruction, self-knowledge, and self-healing. I use every moment of my life, each avenue of awareness and experience, and every bit of education, to share what I know in hopes of bringing about organic, deeply felt changes in survivors’ lives – at every level of their being.

It is my honor to serve as the architect of the new self you hope to build.

Become an agent of your own liberation
