I hold a Master’s Degree from the University of Oregon. I have extensively researched PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and Sibling Abuse. I also am a national trainer on Bullying, Sibling Abuse, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I am the author of Every Eighteen Seconds: Personal Journey Into Domestic Violence and The Sourcebook For Working With Battered Women. My recently published book is Girl In The Water: A Personal Story of Bullying & Sibling Abuse.
