Trauma Consultation and Counseling Services
Experiencing a traumatic event can be overwhelming to one’s natural range of coping and the effects can literally linger for a lifetime. Childhood maltreatment, combat experience, natural disasters, interpersonal violence, imprisonment, automobile accidents, and the passing of a loved are circumstances that can result in trauma and can affect one’s daily navigation in life. Increased anxiety and agitation, difficulty in establishing and maintaining healthy relationships, boundary issues, increased anger, risky behavior, substance misuse, and other effects. As a traumatologist with doctoral level knowledge and experience, with experience in individual and family trauma, my goal is to assist you in your recovery by addressing the underlying cause(s) of your traumatic responses and associated toxic stress and help to create a holistic healing plan.

Keynote Speaker/Presenter/Trainer
Having survived various forms of childhood abuse and maltreatment along with the sudden loss of a parental figure, bullying, and housing instability while residing in rural Louisiana, I somehow felt determined to find out what the “other side of life” felt like. Resilience overpowered the desire to remain “safe at all costs” and my goal is to continue to inspire others to aspire for what they deserve and to arm everyone with relevant and evidence-based research related to trauma from an individual, family, community and societal level.
I help community leaders, helping professionals, school admin/instructors, and families define and identify various forms of trauma, implementation of trauma-informed care, the impacts of and interventions for ACES, the emotional and physical affects of toxic stress, intergenerational trauma and its centuries-long affects, and various other topics as requested. I am also able to tailor presentations based on specific organizational needs/requirements

Life-coaching Services
Life-coaching is a less clinical approach to problem-solving and focuses on the present while assisting individuals in the progress of their goals, assists uncovering and working through roadblocks, and gaining positive coping and communication skills that can be applied in the areas of interpersonal relationships, educational goals, business goals, career goals, and overall day-to-day life activities. Achievable goals are created, progress is tracked, obstacles are evaluated, and behavior/mindset change is enacted to achieve the goals that were set.
