Heal Something Good (2014) is part Self-Help, part Textbook, part Cheerleader and part Workbook. I learned so much on my journey of healing from autoimmune diseases and mental illnesses about how our bodies are amazing and how our mental health is intricately connected to our physical bodies. People I meet now can’t believe I used to be so ill, the changes are that dramatic. Once I started studying, I soon realized that the steps I was taking towards healing and wellness would apply to anyone at any stage of their own journey. Available on Amazon and also on it’s own website.

Not Otherwise Specified, (15 yr Anniversary Edition, 2017) My memoir of living with Multiple Personalities/DID and recovering from complex trauma. This book has been used in college curricula and was the springboard for a character played by Toni Collette in the Showtime show United States of Tara, 2009-2011. I hope others in similar situations feel less alone reading about my life. This 15 year anniversary edition includes additional bonus chapters taken from my website. Available on Amazon.
