I am committed to informing families about cult intervention, exploring its history, different methods, and the potential risks faced by those assisting loved ones involved in cults. My journey began in 2019 as a case manager for individuals leaving polygamist communities. Over the past eight years, I have collaborated with survivors and their families from various high-control groups and relationships. I possess an MSc in the Psychology of Coercive Control, a Peer Support Specialist Certification in Adult Mental Health in Oregon, and I am actively mentored by Cult Intervention Experts Pat Ryan, Joseph Kelly, and Rachel Bernstein, LMFT.
