Restoring your sanity and personal power after surviving abuse no one names.
I help women navigate coercive control, and guide professionals to see what others miss.
Many strong, capable women live with abuse that society dismisses and systems fail to protect.
ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH:
✓ Questioning your own reality while everyone else believes your ex?
✓ Being blindsided by post-separation chaos that’s even more destructive than the relationship itself?
✓ Wondering if the person you loved was undermining you from the start?
✓ Maintaining a healthy bond to your children while your ex works to turn them against you?
✓ Parenting innocent children who are acting out the abuser's words and actions?
✓ Watching teachers, legal and service professionals dismiss your ex’s harmful actions?
You deserve someone in your corner who sees the truth of what you’re living through.

Strongest Self
Your darkest days are not wasted, they will fuel your healing. Not a return to a former self, but an arrival into someone clearer and truer than b
I get it. Watching systems dismiss what you know to be true feels like a second betrayal.
I know you want to be a strong woman who protects her children. In order to do that, you need someone in your corner who sees the truth of what you are living through.
The problem is that the systems meant to help often turn a blind eye to coercive control, intentionally or not. This can leave you feeling twice betrayed and twice traumatized.
I believe every woman deserves to be believed and free to make decisions that protect their family. I founded Restoring Power in 2010 to help women reclaim their personal power. My own experience with coercive control reshaped the work I do. Now I help women see harmful patterns, navigate broken systems, and rebuild their sense of self.
Here’s what makes my approach unique:
- My training and experience span human behavior, family systems, coercive control, and trauma-informed practices.
- I have lived through invisible abuse and the systemic failures that followed, so I understand much of what you’re going through.
- I bring a vetted network of service providers, therapists, evaluators, and advocates who know how to help.
- I use a grounded approach rooted in somatics, neuroscience, strategy and community to help you rebuild stability and move forward with strength.

How I can support you
Community Healing
Some of the hardest parts of this experience are the ones you can't say out loud to just anyone. The Marco Polo groups and confidential communities here are built for that. Women who get it, because they're living it too. A place to be honest without worrying it will end up in a court document.
Workshops
Whether you need to understand what coercive control actually is, learn how to navigate a family court system that keeps missing the point, or just get your nervous system out of survival mode, there's a workshop for where you are right now. Online courses, retreats, and professional trainings for the people in your corner.
Speaking
Regina speaks to audiences who need to understand this better, professionals, communities, and organizations working with women and families caught in these situations. If you want someone in the room who can actually change how people see this, reach out.
