(2013).

Her husband, Evan Owens, is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of REBOOT Recovery. Since 2012, REBOOT has expanded to more than 250 locations nationwide. Evan has authored several books, including the REBOOT trauma healing curriculum, and has been a keynote speaker at numerous conferences in the trauma recovery space.
