Recently, she had the honor of providing a plenary session during Ireland's first Neuroscience and Addiction Conference. She is a trainer for European and American professionals seeking Board Registered Interventionist (BRI) credentialing and has authored a chapter in the recently released book Mending A Shattered Heart: A Guide for Partners of Sex Addicts, 2nd edition.

Caroline's theoretical perspective has been heavily influenced by graduate studies examining the influence early childhood experiences have on adult relationship attachment, cognitive processes, affect regulation, spiritual practice, sexual expression and social functioning throughout the lifespan. She is a passionate force in the support of healing, hope and sustainable recovery.
