Sitting on this well in my village, now sealed, I can’t help but remember being a little girl—10 or 11 years old—walking here each day to fetch water. Today, as I sit above it, thousands of miles and years away from that child, I am reminded of how far this journey has taken me. These roots keep me grounded. This land shaped my resilience. And coming back here helps me reflect on every step that brought me here.

One year ago, I published The CARE Method—and while I dreamt of moments like this, the reality of it coming true leaves me absolutely grateful and beyond excited to share this news.

The CARE Method has officially entered academic research! On August 13th, Sacramento State IRB approved a study evaluating The CARE Method in Domestic Violence Treatment using a Risk-Need-Responsivity approach.

This marks the first formal academic evaluation of the curriculum, led by the brilliant Dr. Bita Rivas and her incredible team at CSU Sacramento.

I am humbled and thankful for what this milestone represents: building an evidence base that can guide treatment, inform policy, and ultimately create lasting change for survivors and communities.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Bita Rivas for believing in my work, and to CSU Sacramento for their incredible support in making this possible.

Too many people still believe domestic violence only means bruises and broken bones. The truth? Abuse can be invisible—and just as devastating. 💔 From coercive control to legal abuse, these hidden forms destroy lives every day. The more we understand, the more we can protect. 🕊️ ”

🚩 If there’s no trust and control shows up early, it’s not love—it’s a warning. Pay attention to the patterns from the start. ”

From a small village in northern Brazil 🇧🇷 to building programs that change lives across the U.S. 🇺🇸✨
I’m so grateful for the journey that led me to become a Licensed Professional Counselor, Domestic Violence Clinical Supervisor, and creator of The CARE Method—an evidence-informed curriculum now used in multiple states.

This work is my passion 💜—advocating for victim safety, reducing recidivism, and helping individuals rewrite their stories.

Healthy change starts with small, consistent actions.

When you’ve used control or intimidation in the past, rebuilding trust takes more than promises, it takes daily choices that make your partner feel safe.

Questions like these shift the focus from power to partnership. They replace guessing with listening, and tension with understanding.

In my book, The CARE Method, you’ll learn how to break harmful patterns by practicing respect, empathy, and accountability in every interaction.

For those ready to end the cycle of abuse, this is where change becomes real. Your next step toward a healthier relationship can start with one question:

“How can I support you better today?”

Gaslighting isn’t always loud, obvious, or intentional but it is always harmful. If you’ve used these phrases in the past, it doesn’t automatically make you a “monster.”

Here’s the truth:

âś” Recognizing manipulative language is the first step toward change.
âś” Choosing words that validate, rather than dismiss, is how you rebuild trust.
âś” Every small shift away from gaslighting is a step toward healthier, respectful relationships.

In my book, The CARE Method, you’ll find a comprehensive exploration of how harmful communication patterns — like gaslighting — can break trust, create emotional distance, and fuel conflict.

I walk you step-by-step through recognizing these patterns, understanding why they happen, and learning practical, respectful ways to replace them with empathy, accountability, and clarity.

Second year presenting at the Family Law Institute in Vail. I’m so honored by the incredible turnout and conversations—so many professionals stopped to talk, and I’ve already been invited back for next year!

The Q&A was powerful, with direct questions on topics like parental alienation, and I was proud to stand firmly in my knowledge and share my perspective.

The positive feedback means the world to me. I feel deeply grateful for this career, the connections it brings, and the opportunity to make a difference.

See you next year! đź’ś
