Well… it’s official! 🎉📖 My new BOOK will be released ON JULY 1st!! The proof is approved, and The Church and The Couch: Breaking the Religious Stigma is finally ready for release! This manual represents a significant milestone in my journey because it is the very first project where I have intentionally integrated my clinical expertise as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Traumatologist with theological research, biblical principles, and evidence-based mental health practices. For years, I have walked alongside individuals navigating trauma, grief, emotional wounds, and spiritual struggles. Throughout that journey, I have often found myself helping people bridge the gap between faith and mental health. This book was born from that work and from a deep conviction that healing should never require us to choose between the church and professional support. My prayer is that this book will challenge stigma, spark meaningful conversations, and equip faith leaders, clinicians, and everyday believers with a more holistic understanding of healing. To everyone who has supported, encouraged, prayed, reviewed chapters, attended my trainings, and believed in this vision—thank you. Your support helped bring this project to life. I’m excited, humbled, and ready to share this labor of love with the world. The Church and The Couch is here. The conversation begins now. ❤️ #TheChurchAndTheCouch #BreakingTheReligiousStigma #TraumaInformedFaith #MentalHealthMatters #FaithAndHealing #TraumaRecovery #SoulPathCounseling #TheTraumatologist

As a licensed clinical social worker, approved supervisor, and experienced educator, you can provide psychoeducational coaching, training, workshops, retreats, masterclasses, and educational programs across jurisdictions when those services are clearly structured as education, coaching, consultation, leadership development, personal growth, or skills training rather than psychotherapy, clinical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment. The key distinctions typically include: - No diagnosis or treatment of mental health disorders. - No psychotherapy or clinical counseling relationship. - No individualized clinical treatment planning. - No clinical documentation or medical records associated with the coaching program. - Clear informed consent and disclaimers that services are educational/coaching in nature. - Marketing language that emphasizes education, personal development, trauma-informed education, resilience, nervous system education, leadership development, healing journeys, etc., rather than clinical treatment. - Referral processes when participants require psychotherapy or clinical intervention. Just an FYI for all who think otherwise!

ABOUT THIS EVENT You’ve survived the loss… But your body may still be carrying the weight of it. Grief is often misunderstood as simply sadness or emotional pain.
