Mental Health Coach | Therapist at Heart | Forensic Psychology Nerd These days, I work as a Mental Health Coach, supporting adults in navigating stress, anxiety, grief, and the wild ride of being human — with plenty of empathy and humor, and sometimes a curse word or two [I'm actively working on reigning that in!] Before coaching, armed with a Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology, I spent nearly a decade deep in the world of forensic psychology, doing assessments and treatment planning for incarcerated individuals — powerful, eye-opening work that shaped my understanding of resilience and systemic challenges. My passion for whole-person wellbeing also led me to a holistic "food as medicine" culinary program, and several years in restaurant management, where I deepened my understanding of food as nourishment, creativity, and connection. I’m always looking at the bigger picture of what helps people feel more like themselves.
