Encouraging Brain Injury Recovery: 30 Presentations to Inspire Hope, Purpose, and Self-Advocacy

Living with the impact of a brain injury and invisible disability for over 58 years has equipped me to inspire hope. As a master’s level rehabilitation counselor I offer a unique trauma-informed care and a holistic approach to  ongoing brain injury recovery. A brain injury recovery process beyond  symptom management to engage the whole person in their process.

Engage their mind, body, spirit, soul and emotions in an active commitment to self-advocacy. A commitment to self-advocacy to encourage the individual living with the impact of a brain injury to find freedom. A freedom from the limiting impact (s) of secondary dependencies and secondary gains to move forward. Forward in their process to learn to thrive, not just survive.

“Cherish your visions and dreams as they are the children of your soul: the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.” – Napoleon Hill

Availability: Book a Live or Virtual Presentation

I’m available to speak virtually or in person to support groups, organizations, conferences, or advocacy forums.
