My journey to this path of work came about as a result of losing my 13 year old daughter, Lily, to suicide in January 2017. This site is my offering to share with others and the things that helped me to survive the annihilation, go through decomposition/transformation/synthesis, restore a new sense of self agency and having the reins of my mind as I continue to emerge anew into life. 

Watch the video at left to learn more about why listen to me.

I work best with people who are really ready to do the hard work of rewiring their brain and freeing themselves from living at the mercy of their trauma. As stated many times through this site, this is not passive, easy work. It is HARD and active daily effort to bring  restoration of the nervous system and move it into a state of regulation and calm. Any notion that this is just about positivity or "good vibes," should be strongly and firmly squelched. Yes focusing on the positive and working with replacing negative thoughts with positive ones is very helpful... AT THE RIGHT TIME!!! I cannot say this loudly enough. If you have not faced and worked through the hard stuff, you CANNOT just Positive Thought it away. When this happens the issues and trauma is simply denied or forced away, neither of which is every truly effective or possible. 

 This is why working with a therapist is crucial. They can help you as you navigate the hard stuff. I DO NOT recommend that anyone engage in the deep dive without that support. See the links regarding help finding a therapist in the Begin Here or Free Resources pages, or at the bottom of each page in the disclaimer. 

I also work well with people who live with PTSD, Depression, Complicated Grief/Loss, Suicidal Ideation and those who have lost someone to suicide. With suicide - this is such a unique type of loss and I understand both the intensely difficult aspects of losing someone to suicide and of living with suicidal ideation.  I can help you find the tools that work for you as you navigate any of these.
