Publications
In addition to being a psychotherapist, I’m also a published author and scholar. My writing has appeared in publications such as Clinical Social Work Journal, Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, and Journal of Gerontological Social Work. I have presented at many conferences, including the International Psychohistorical Association Conference, the Symposium on the Advancement of Social Work with Groups, and the Association for the Study of Dreams Annual International Conference, on the topics of trauma, social work, and therapeutic dream work. Please explore books and articles I’ve written or contributed to and presentations I’ve given, as a psychotherapist and expert on trauma, for a deeper look into my expertise. Here is my most recent book:
From Trauma to Healing: A Social Worker's Guide to Working with Survivors (2nd Edition)
From Trauma to Healing is a comprehensive and practical guide to working with trauma survivors in the field of social work. Since September 11th and Hurricane Katrina, social workers have increasingly come together to consider how traumatic events impact practice. This text is designed to support the process, with a focus on evidence-based practice that ensures professionals are fully equipped to work with trauma. Highlights of this new edition include brand new chapters on practitioner bias and vulnerability, standardized assessment methodologies, and crisis management, as well as a focus on topics crucial to social workers such as Trauma Informed Care (TIC) and Adverse Childhood Events (ACES). The text also offers additional resources including chapter practice exercises and a sample trauma course syllabus for educators.
