My writing spans research, clinical practice, and creative expression, with a central focus on mental health, addiction, and military related experiences. I explore the intersection of trauma, resilience, and recovery, seeking to ground theory and practice in the lived experiences of the individuals and communities I work with. Across my work, I aim to give voice to those often overlooked by systems of care and to illuminate the complex realities of mental health, wellbeing, and social reintegration.

In research, I examine psychological wellbeing, recovery oriented practices, and innovative approaches to service delivery. My academic writings cover areas such as the challenges faced by veterans transitioning to civilian life, the implementation of community reinforcement approaches in addiction treatment, and the use of technology to enhance recovery outcomes. I am particularly interested in how culturally competent, person-centered approaches can improve engagement, resilience, and long-term recovery.

Alongside my academic work, I write poetry and reflective pieces that address trauma, identity, belonging, and healing. Collections such as Letters from the Soul Volumes I & II  Lost in the Shadows reflect on the pressures experienced by military personnel and veterans, while also exploring post traumatic growth and the quiet struggles of mental health. Poetry and creative writing serve as both expression and testimony, offering insight into experiences that are difficult to capture in conventional research or clinical language.

In addition, I develop training programs and practical resources, including the CHANGED Program Series©, and have authored mental health booklets. My writing is informed by a lifetime of lived experience and professional practice, driven by the belief that mental health is not just something to write about it is something I live, witness, and advocate for every day.
