    Trauma Informed Care

    Seventy percent of adults in the United States have experienced a traumatic event. When individuals face trauma or extremely stressful situations, it's normal and natural for them to struggle with coping afterward. I'm passionate about teaching healthcare professionals how to support trauma-affected individuals. I specialize in inspiring them to become heroes in their patient's lives, providing the compassionate care and understanding they need on their healing journey.

    Managing Stress & Mental Health

    Recent studies have shown that it has never been more stressful to work in healthcare than it recent years. Healthcare professional burnout is at an all-time high. Many stressors, such as the pandemic, staff shortages, and increased patient issues, are beyond our control. However, we can manage our response to the growing stress load.
