Childhood trauma

Redefining authorship and leadership.

Carving new paths for healing and growth.

Rewriting the narrative.

My work weaves creative approaches with scientific methods, and focuses on trauma - often with an activist agenda. The commonality in all that I do is a shift in the dynamics:

I believe in reclaiming and rewriting the narrative of trauma on survivors' own terms and in creating new paths for healing and growth.
