Mission:
Moringa Publishing is an academic research and Christian counseling service. We offer care and hope to the oppressed and marginalized through publications and direct support. Our aim is to contribute to the public good and raise awareness of important issues using a social justice lens.
Pastoral counseling & coaching. We care for women with betrayal trauma and for those experiencing mistreatment or spiritual/psychological abuse from unsafe spiritual groups or religious establishments and hyper-authoritarian religious leaders.
We also care for individuals with trauma who are recovering from firsthand or secondary cult abuse (isolation strategies, mandated shunning techniques, etc.). We raise awareness on how to recognize narcissistic abuse. We also aim to help caregivers and therapists understand dynamics of unsafe groups, spiritual abuse, cult tools and cultic abuse.
Social work & psychology research. Since 2012, Moringa Publishing has designed and published websites and books about human rights, public health, psychology, memory science, social work and Christian apologetics. As counter-cult activists, we research the dangers of cults and coercive-control groups. Also, therapy-related topics and have healthcare fraud.
Copywriting & editing. We write bios for business executives and proofread business communications. I create trauma-sensitive, evidence-based educational materials.

The Moringa Tree, also called the Drumstick Tree, is known for its healing and cleansing properties. Native to India and Africa, it is supposed to help ease depression and provide antioxidant properties. Some natives claim that the tree’s seeds are also purifying.
“Social work practice [or social work research] is a public trust that requires of its practitioners: integrity, compassion, belief in the dignity and worth of human beings, respect for individual differences, a commitment to service, and a dedication to truth.” – From the NASW News (Feb. 1961), retrieved at the NASW website (January 30, 2017)
