15 years of specialized experience in the child abuse field, serving as a child forensic interviewer, family advocate, consultant, trainer, educator, and conference speaker. In addition to authoring multiple publications, I have designed and managed government programs for child survivors of abuse and have conducted more than 100 direct engagements with child survivors. I provide specialized expertise on child sexual abuse and trafficking dynamics across multidisciplinary systems.
With a master’s degree in forensic psychology and completing a MEd certification in the neuroscience of trauma, my expertise is anchored in both hands-on field experience and research-based education.
Having delivered more than 200 presentations and trainings, 39 of them specifically on child abuse, I am highly proficient at communicating the complexities of child sexual abuse dynamics in ways that the general population can clearly understand.
My areas of expertise include:

• Disclosure Process (denial, tentative disclosure, active disclosure, recantation, reaffirmation)
• Child witness’s counterintuitive behaviors
• Children’s sexual behavior - problematic sexual behaviors
• Child trafficking
• Grooming
• Long-term impacts of child abuse
• Online Exploitation
