About Me
With specialized training in psychotherapy, integrative functional nutrition, and wellness, I provide a comprehensive approach to healing that bridges mental and physical health. My work integrates physiological and nutritional processes that support trauma recovery and overall well-being, offering innovative treatment for both psychological and behavioral health concerns. My expertise includes an integrative and functional approach to diabetes management, behavioral and mental health dietetics, and psychotherapy. As a trauma specialist, I utilize Attachment-Focused EMDR to support those recovering from complex trauma, including individuals impacted by war and displacement. I also provide clinical supervision and have extensive experience training therapists in trauma-informed care.
Education & Experience
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Minnesota State University, Mankato where I earned a combined Baccalaureate of Science in both Dietetics and Food & Nutrition. Once I became a Registered Dietitian and started providing medical nutrition therapy to patients I noticed them hitting roadblocks when it came to achieving wellness. Often it was some type of trauma. So I then went on and completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. Throughout my career, I have obtained various certifications in nutrition and mental health to stay abreast in each field and expand my knowledge. Learning truly is one of my hobbies.
Professional & Volunteer Affiliations
In addition to my clinical work, I serve on the front lines in Ukraine, providing psychotherapy to active-duty troops and civilians, as well as medical aid and training for mental health professionals working in war zones. My commitment extends to advocacy, education, and the development of sister-state partnerships to strengthen support systems for those affected by trauma.
