TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO AUTOMATICALLY CREATE PEACE & CALM
A Story to Tell
Even celebrities have to heal trauma. The Spice Girls', 'Sporty Spice', posted this image of her reading my book, HEAL YOUR PTSD.
Overcoming trauma can be dark. Or, we can turn our faces to the light. I love this 2-page spread in Woman's World about what happened when I incorporated dance into my trauma recovery.

I AM A .... MENTOR
As an award-winning trauma/PTSD blogger, award-nominated author and keynote speaker I love my role as a Trauma Recovery Specialist and Mental Health Advocate. It's been my honor to appear frequently in the media in such places as, CBS, NBC, The Dennis Miller Show, Ladies’ Home Journal, The Washington Post, Newsday, St. Petersburg Times, Orlando Sentinel, The Palm Beach Post, The Huffington Post, Psychotherapy Magazine, Psychotherapy Networker Magazine, Psychology Today, The Traumatology Institute, Woman’s Day and The Sober World .
​
For many years I was a top health blogger for the Stress Management Community on Wellsphere.com, the founder of Trauma! A PTSD blog on HealthyPlace.com, and a frequent contributor to Anxiety.org, Addiction.com and Recovery.org.
​
A Certified Professional Coach, Board Certified Trauma and PTSD Hypnotist, and Licensed Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming – plus trauma and PTSD survivor myself (I affectionately refers to my recovery as a ‘healing rampage’) – my passion is to inspire and assist action-oriented people who are ready to overcome the effects of trauma, including fear, grief, guilt, shame, loss, sadness, anger, agitation, sleep issues, stress, and identity loss.
​
Winner of the Mending Broken Survivor Advocate award, I was also named a finalist for the WEGO Health Activist Hero award. I am a former faculty member of the Clinical Development Institute for Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center.
​
In addition to my in-person private practice in Jupiter, FL, I also work with clients around the world via phone and video conference. Additionally, I practice on the physician-led, integrative team of Palm Beach Wellness Institute, and at The Palms in Good Samaritan Medical Center in West Palm Beach.
Why does your trauma recovery matter so much to me? The answer is simple: I'm a trauma survivor too.
I know what it's like to lose way too many years of your life to the negative after effects of trauma. I know what it's like to be stuck in behaviors you hate, thoughts you can't avoid and an identity that feels less than, unworthy and self-destructive.
​
I also know what it's like to resolve all of that -- to come out of the pain and enter a life that feels full of possibility, open with opportunity, and waiting for you to imagine so that you can create outcomes designed to serve the highest good.

Since my recovery I have made it part of my mission to speak out about mental illness, educate about trauma and recovery, raise awareness to fight stigma, support survivors and spread the word that it is entirely possible to feel better.
