Her clinical experience includes working with children and adolescents with sexual behavior problems; juvenile and adult sex offenders; and survivors of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, complex trauma, commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking; substance and process addictions; depression; anxiety; OCD; PTSD; personality disorders; infidelity, pornography, and various relationship issues. Mindy is also trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing).

She has led short-term teams and/or facilitated counseling seminars in Mexico, Uganda, Ukraine, and Sri Lanka. Mindy and her husband spent 18 months living in Sri Lanka and working for a post-tsunami recovery project, where she also began her involvement in anti-human trafficking work. Upon returning to the United States, she has worked as a therapist in private practice and also in a private, residential setting.

Fourteen years of witnessing the restorative impact of healthy, life-giving relationships and the traumatic impact of brokenness and cultural depravity around issues related to connection, sex and intimacy, has resulted in a profound appreciation for the importance of true, meaningful connection and intimacy. STRONGER connection|cards are a tool designed for proactively building relationships and interrupting negative patterns of disconnection or false intimacy.

Mindy lives near Atlanta, GA with her husband and three children.
