Cresaya E. Kingsbury @ Wild Foxgloves Counseling (she/her)

Life is a story, and few in our lives get beyond the surface of it. Yet, it's in the particularity of our stories that we most hunger for others to meet us. The places where our pain, fear, and shame is the greatest. We need others to walk with us in the depth of our stories and witness the heartache and harm we hold. Our work at Wild Foxgloves', influenced by Allender Theory, is compassionate and trauma-informed, and we invite you to step into the depth of your story.

Each of us has a story, and that begins with your formative relationships: the people who shaped your way of relating to those around you and yourself. If you will allow yourself to walk through both the stunning beauty and stunning brokenness of those relationships it is possible to find a freedom you have never known, a greater ability to change the painful dynamics in your life, and deeper kindness for both yourself and those you love.

I invite you to step into the earth of your story in the presence of a kind witness to the harm that you've suffered. It is here we most need others and often are the most alone. If you'll walk through how your story shaped you, influences the present, and intersects with the stories of others, life can make sense in a way it never has, and you can begin to create the life and relationships your heart longs for. My therapy style draws from Narrative Focused Trauma Care/Allender Theory.

Chronic illness and pain are often invisible to those about us, causing us to suffer in isolation. Those who are aware often don't understand, and aren't curious to learn. Wild Foxgloves understands and sees your suffering, and is also open to learning from you. We also invite you to into the story that your body tells. In the Western Hemisphere we think of the body and mind as separate, but research tells another story.

Many prefer to think childhood sexual abuse and trauma is rare and occurs only in other countries, but the heartbreaking truth is a minimum of 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men have suffered sexual trauma by the age 18. Adult survivors find that few are willing to walk with them in their story and suffering, and many want them to be "over it" though the effects last a lifetime. Your story is not too much for Wild Foxgloves, we will be a witness to your suffering, and help you reclaim what was stolen.

Sexual abuse ravages the capacity for joy, the ability to love freely, to rest, and to live in the present, and feel comfortable in your own body, and for many with their sexuality. This is compounded by the complicit silence of our society. Though 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men have suffered sexual trauma by age 18. Survivors find few are willing to walk with them in their suffering. Many want you to "get over it," yet the effects last a lifetime. I seek to offer a space of kindness where your

Childhood abuse is a silent epidemic that causes profound pain and far-reaching effects into adulthood. Perhaps you know what those effects are but you feel stuck. Or you simply know that depression, anxiety, disconnection, relational and sexual difficulties haunt you. As you gently step into your story, I will help you untangle past and present, reclaim what was stolen, and re-author your future.
