Why do many young adults struggle to build healthy independent lives, even after mental health treatment? Minding the Brain answers this by focusing on emerging adulthood (ages 18-29), a time when identity, relationship patterns, and self-regulation are still forming — and the brain is especially capable of change. The book presents a trauma-informed, research-based model combining developmental psychology, neuroscience, psychotherapy, strength-based strategies, and wellness medicine. It explains how to harness neuroplasticity, heal from trauma and loss, rewire disrupted brain networks, and foster resilience. With real-world case studies, clinical tools, and theory grounded in decades of experience, the book teaches how multidisciplinary interventions — from family therapy to life skills training — can support emerging adults toward self-integration and lasting growth. Free on Kindle.

Burnt Letters is a raw, unfiltered memoir of survival, trauma, and healing told through the lens of a woman who has been shattered — and slowly, painfully, begins to put herself back together.

After enduring two failed marriages, Christina finds herself trapped in a relationship that starts with butterflies and ends with a gun to her temple. What unfolds is not just a cautionary tale of narcissistic abuse and manipulation, but a deep, personal reckoning with the patterns that led her there — childhood trauma, complex PTSD, codependency, and the internalized belief that love must hurt to be real.

Told in deeply personal, journal-like chapters, Burnt Letters navigates Christina’s descent into — and escape from — a relationship that nearly destroys her. Along the way, she explores her upbringing, the generational wounds that shaped her, and the quiet, powerful act of reclaiming her own voice through therapy, journaling, and unflinching honesty.

This is not a redemption arc tied up in a bow. It’s a series of burnt letters to the past — some symbolic, some literal — as she finds the courage to finally say no more.
