An adjunct professor at the University of Hartford, I am the author of "Must I Turn the Other Cheek," a book about the effects of premature forgiveness on recovery from sexual abuse.

I am often asked to provide expert testimony to the courts on issues related to domestic violence, custody issues and trauma.
