People overcoming traumatic events require therapists who have special experience in, and understanding of, what they’ve been through. I am a nationally recognized expert in working with children, adolescents, and adults in the aftermath of traumatic events that have happened to them or that they’ve witnessed. My approach integrates evidence-based and innovative practices, allowing people to safely face their life experiences and work through the memories or behaviors that have them feeling “stuck” and powerless.
I’ve provided treatment for traumatic stress and dissociation, and have supervised therapists providing these services, for over 2 decades. I’ve trained clinicians internationally in trauma work, direct a training program in trauma treatment, and have published extensively on the topic. I have intervened in schools, churches, community centers, and businesses following violence, suicide, and other tragedies. I have also provided training for crisis teams in responding to mass trauma events in a variety of settings.
