A Guide to Investigating, Understanding, and Resolving Your Emotional Pain (2025).
Her work focuses on clarifying the full spectrum of emotional injury – from extreme and complex trauma to more common yet highly impactful emotional wounds – through a neurobiological and systemic lens. She supports clinicians in moving beyond oversimplified nervous system explanations toward precise, developmentally informed case conceptualization and effective treatment planning. Her approach integrates neuroscience, attachment theory, dissociation theory, and relational models into clear, accessible frameworks that enhance clinical decision making without sacrificing depth or nuance.
