Benefits of Her Only Means of Escape
Emotional Support and Counseling
Divorce can be an emotionally traumatic experience, often leading to feelings of sadness, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Her Only Means of Escape offers mental health counseling and support groups, providing a safe space for women to process their emotions, share their experiences and receive
guidance from professionals and peers who understand their situation.
Self-Care and Personal Growth
Our organization emphasizes the importance of self-care and personal growth during this transitional period. Through workshops, activities, and resources focused on self-care practices like mindfulness, exercise, and personal
development, our clients regain confidence, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and rediscover their sense of purpose and identity.
Financial Empowerment
Divorce can have significant financial implications, especially for women who may have been financially dependent on their spouses.
Her Only Means of Escape will provide job placement assistance, financial literacy workshops, and connections to resources that can help women achieve financial independence and stability.

After spending 18 years in a relationship, with 14 of those years in marriage,
Klarissa found herself facing the daunting reality of a toxic marriage. The realization that she needed to escape from this harmful situation was not an easy one to come to terms with. In her darkest moments, Klarissa felt isolated and alone, with no one to turn to for support and no safe place to seek refuge.
However, Klarissa refused to let despair consume her. Instead, she turned inward and began prioritizing her own well-being. Through exercise, meditation, and self-reflection, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. She discovered the transformative power of self-care and the importance of prioritizing her own needs.
Through her resilience and determination, Klarissa emerged from her ordeal
stronger and more self-assured than ever before. Her personal journey has inspired her to pay it forward and help other women who may find themselves in similar situations. She believes in the power of empowerment and wants to show other women that it is possible to not only survive but thrive after divorce. As the founder of Her Only Means of Escape, Klarissa is dedicated to providing a lifeline for women who are navigating the challenges of divorce. She understands firsthand the importance of having a supportive community and a safe space to turn to during difficult times. Through her organization, she aims to empower women to reclaim their lives, find their voice, and build a future filled with hope and possibility.
