MEDIA + SPEAKING

Complicated stories deserve a clinician's read.

Producers, journalists, and podcast hosts come to me when a story involves cults, high-control religion, or the psychology of people at their most extreme. I translate the clinical material without flattening the human beings inside it.

Speaking and training

Topics I teach and talk about

I speak to clinical audiences, podcasts, conferences, and community groups. Recent trainings include teaching 50 clinicians the basics of religious trauma assessment in a single live virtual training, and a 12-module course series on indoctrination, coercive control, and purity culture.

  • Religious trauma 101. What it is, how it forms, and why clinicians routinely miss it in the room.
  • Cult recovery. High-control groups, leaving well, and how technology fuels modern recruitment.
  • Purity culture. Its long-term effects on identity, relationships, and emotional development.
  • Neurodiversity-affirming assessment. Testing for ADHD and autism, including high-masking presentations, without pathologizing difference.
  • Forensic psychology. Competency, malingering, and what courts actually ask of psychologists.
  • Trauma basics for non-clinicians. Nervous systems, big-T and little-t trauma, and how to support someone recovering.
