America In Therapy
We are at a very precarious time in human history that calls for big ideas and even bigger solutions. While we have evolved to a place of incredible intelligence and mastery, we have also developed the means to obliterate ourselves and life as we know it. America in Therapy offers HOPE by sharing the LITTLE KNOWN SECRETS of how we got ourselves out on this ledge, what keeps us here, and what we all can do to restore us to safety.
There is HOPE because in the field of psychology, the same tools we use to heal individuals and families of dysfunction, neglect, and abuse — these same tools can be used to heal a community, a state, and a nation.
Learn more about the true causes of hatred and violence and how you can be part of the solution.


WHO AM I TO TALK ABOUT BRINGING AMERICA TO THERAPY?
For America in Therapy, I’ve drawn on all I have learned as a psychotherapist of over thirty years, co-director of a sexual abuse treatment program– and as a wife, mother, and client myself– to make common knowledge the answers that the best psychology holds for healing divisiveness and violence in our country.
Join me on a deep dive into what therapy would mean for America and a path to healing a nation in crisis.
