Although some of you are just welcoming yourselves to the world of twitter (even though there still may be some of you who have no idea what twitter is – thank goodness I’m not the only one), I am welcoming you to my blog!  Why a blog?  I wanted a place to share some of my musings, commentary, and a place to record some of my ideas.

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the field of sexual abuse and trauma.  I have worked in this area for over fifteen years starting with female adult survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault.  I have dedicated much of my work to the specialties of sexual abuse, incest, perpetration and sexual acting out.  I also have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, anger, violence and abuse.

This blog will focus on my thoughts regarding psychology & social work,  treatment, psychotherapy,  and my specialty of sexual abuse.  It will also explore other areas of interests for me such as spirituality, addictions, sexuality, sexual offending, forensics and relationships.  I may also from time to time venture off topic to discuss other varied interests.
