Hello, my name is Chrissy. I have three beautiful children who are my world. I am passionate about adoption, dance, and traveling. I have had an amazing career as an Emergency Room RN for over 20 years and have worked in multiple states, trauma centers, and of course through the COVID pandemic. Working with patients on both sides of the bed (the victims and the survivors) as well as using trauma informed care since 2004. ​

After 30 years of marriage and abuse, I realized that there is not as much support or information available as one would expect. Understanding that "it's never MY family, until it IS" was overwhelming. To make matters worse, the court system is almost more traumatic than abuse can be in some circumstances. I put all of my energy and focus into helping my children heal and researching all resources available. It is so important to be an active participant in your healing journey. Through this healing process God put it upon my heart to help others who have experienced trauma, grief, abuse, as well as divorce. I dove into educating myself and am currently working toward my PMHNP, as well as writing a book on healing from domestic violence and trauma. Advocating for safety in the community and in the home starts with education, support, trust, and compassion. I offer these things in every session with my clients as well as my nursing patients.
