She has been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) since 1999 and her practice background centers around trauma and post-traumatic growth. She has worked with victims of intimate partner violence, families involved with child protective services, people who have experienced sexual trauma (across the lifespan), adolescent sexual offenders, and older adult victims of abuse and neglect. Her research has focused on self-care, suicide, and improving social work education. Most recently she has been working with Volunteers of America to evaluate the FreshStart residential opioid addiction program for mothers and children.
