He has been extremely successful helping victims of and families challenged with the trauma of terrorism as well as sexual trauma. As a master educator he has also trained countless psychologists and other mental health professionals in trauma techniques. Techniques that save lives and give people their lives back.

When studying from a master educator, one can learn, assimilate and implement a lot of new information very efficiently.
