Trish’s Human-Informed approach bridges science and soul, turning complex trauma research into language educators, caregivers, and leaders can use every day. As a mental health advocate and former educator, she’s walked alongside students and adults who carry invisible pain, and she knows the quiet exhaustion of trying to hold it all together.

Her work is rooted in the belief that people heal when they feel seen, safe, and supported. Through honest stories and practical neuroscience, Trish helps others understand what’s really happening beneath behavior so they can respond with wisdom and compassion.

Trish is now a trusted voice for foster care, mental health, and trauma awareness in faith-based communities. She partners with organizations and schools to create spaces that value both excellence and empathy, helping leaders, parents, and teachers build environments where connection can take root.

When she’s not speaking or writing, Trish enjoys slow mornings with coffee, road trips with her husband, and deep talks around campfires. She’s at home exploring thrift shops, sitting by the water, or cheering on her son’s next big thing, and nothing makes her smile faster than time with her daughter and the grandkids who call her Mimi. Those who know her call her a teacher, truth-teller, and encourager.

Rooted in John 15:4–5 and Romans 12:2, she believes real transformation begins by abiding in Christ and renewing the mind, one day and one connection at a time.
