On April 8th, I am launching a fundraiser for the survivors of Sam Bateman, to be monitored by an accountant on the Voices for Dignity team.
Our hope is to provide these survivors some unexpected blessings to be able to something positive and wonderful, whether it’s move to a new house, put a down payment on a car, travel to Disneyworld, take dancing lessons, or who knows what else?
We’re dreaming big, hoping to raise at least $100,000. Please spread the word and pitch in what you can.
STOP JUDGING. START HELPING. STOP JUDGING. START HELPING. STOP JUDGING. START HELPING

Voices for Dignity
I originally started Voices for Dignity in 2013 as an online awareness campaign to create more awareness about human trafficking and online cruelty. I also wanted to create more humanity for those survivors who chose to tell their stories. In 2017, after I had moved to Short Creek, Voices for Dignity officially became a non-profit.
Although we have been a tiny organization that has struggled along, we have still been able to help a heck-of-a-lot of people. Click READ MORE to check it out.

Colorful Adventures in Psychology, Dignity, and Kicking Ass
Psychology
My hot topics? Media psychology, positive psychology, cult psychology, and coercion.
Traumatology
We know a lot about trauma, but what about post-traumatic growth? (aka - kicking ass!)
Dignity
Human dignity? The right to be treated like you matter, because you do.

Yes, I Literally Wear Rose-Colored Glasses
I am an animal-loving, coffee-drinking, psychology nerd exploring the intersection of human life and storytelling, past and present.
My hearts desire is to empower and dignify those humiliated, misrepresented and stigmatized. I teach about critical thinking, cults, victim-blaming, and post-traumatic growth. I hope to enrich lives through the use of media, kindness, & sharing one’s story.
I’m not a therapist, but I have trauma training galore, and am a certified trauma and resiliency life coach, among other things.
