My current therapeutic offerings include: Community-based Trauma Therapist at our regional Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC), Community Yoga and Mindfulness facilitator specializing in trauma and cancer survivorship, Relational Forest Therapy Guide, Community Violence Prevention Researcher with Michigan State University’s Spark for Change Research Lab, and Certified School Psychologist.
After thirteen years in CMH and thirteen years as a practicing School Psychologist in public education, I stepped away in 2021 to focus on community wellness that blends trauma-sensitive, body-based, sensory-oriented practices with cognitive and psychoeducation-based mental health supports. In order to reach this goal (and in addition to my other areas of training), I completed a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW) focused on Evidence-Based Trauma Treatments and two graduate certificates in Medical Neuroscience and Applied Educational Neuroscience.
My hope is to offer my presence and skillset to clients in ways they decide feel helpful. I am grateful for this opportunity to be of service to my community and hope clients find these services supportive along their journey towards contentment.
