Inspirational, Impactful, and Approachable
As a licensed clinical social worker, professional educator, and yoga instructor, I blend the woo woo with science and create refreshing lectures, presentations and keynotes that leave audiences inspired and informed.
I've been a professional educator in the field of trauma therapy since 2009. I am the owner of the Trauma Therapist Institute, a leading trauma training company in the US. I am an expert in trauma therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and EMDR Therapy.
In 2018 I began my love affair with Polyvagal Theory, a neuroscience based model that helps us understand how our nervous system responds to stress, and what we need on a neurobiological basis to feel safe and thrive. As the author or Polyvagal Informed EMDR, the Applied Polyvagal Flip Chart, and the Polyvagal Solution I am passionate about teaching others how to integrate this transformative framework into their work and lives.
My mission is to empower clinicians, therapists, and individuals with practical tools grounded in neuroscience to foster resilience, healing, and connection. From trauma therapy techniques, to neuroscience, to yoga and embodiment practices, I design lectures, keynotes, and presentations that are relatable, impactful, and backed with academic integrity.
