I have been in the field of trauma recovery for over 20 years. I have worked in the most challenging of circumstances: in prisons, on natural disaster sites, with combat veterans, first responders, and search and rescue. I myself have experienced healing from trauma, not only from childhood experiences, but from an incident that led to being lost and alone in a 632,000-acre wilderness area for 3 days.
Topics that I have expertise in speaking on:
My survival story
Trauma resolution
Military Mental Health
Wilderness survival/backcountry hiking
Disaster Mental Health (First Responders/Disaster Responders)
Nutritional Psychology
