Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am thrilled to share my first book with you. I am a clinical social worker, hypnotherapist, conscious parenting coach and energy healer. I combined all I am and all that I do and wrote a book to offer readers a framework to heal their inner child.
I have a successful psychotherapy practice, more than 20 years. My passion is to help people heal their deep pain. I am married and I am also a mom to 3 amazing young adults.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book is called, Show Up For Yourself-A Guide to Inner Awareness and Growth. It was because of my own trauma and my own journey to heal that I was called to write this book. All of my own healing experiences and what I have learned along the way as a clinician and through meditation have brought me to this exact moment in my life.
