Resources for supporters of adults with complex PTSD

Featured Service

Consulting for organizations & practitioners

My consulting service utilizes a ‘complex trauma aware’ perspective on the issues facing those who support adults with complex trauma disorders. I help profit, non-profit, therapists, coaches and healers to understand and to strategize around the challenges experienced by partners, family members, and friends. If you would like to learn how to ‘support the supporters,’ a consultation might be the right fit for you.
