I have been a licensed clinical social worker since 2009 and, recognizing that mental and physical health are inextricable, a health coach since 2011. Since then, I have obtained certificates in Women’s Health Coaching from the Integrative Women’s Health Institute; Gray Area Drinking Recovery Coaching; Biochemical and Nutritional Approaches to Mental Health and Addiction Recovery; Yoga Psychology; and EMDR II. I have additional specialty training in mindfulness, trauma, and women’s hormonal health.

I work with high achieving women in their 30’s and 40’s making the brave and badass decision to examine how alcohol may be holding them back from their fullest lives.

Navigating your menstrual cycle is a powerful daily practice that provides insight into managing and balancing your hormonal health. Medical literature states that a well-charted cycle is the fifth vital sign in women. I will help you map your cycle for infertility evaluation, women’s health assessment, or family planning and together we will evaluate your unique pattern and create a customized plan to optimize your healing journey. I believe in a root-cause, solution-based approach to dealing with infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, and hormonal imbalances. A balanced cycle is a sign of health and vitality. I will help you get there.

Through my business I enjoy working with clients looking to improve their health and wellbeing in an integrative way. Having experienced breast cancer in my mid-thirties, shortly after the birth of my second child, while going through divorce, I know a thing or two about growing from challenges and practicing self-care in the midsts of a super busy life.

Together with my clients we work on optimizing lifestyle fundamentals: Nutrition, sleep, stress management/resilience, connection, and movement. I serve as mentor, coach, and cheer leader, and share plenty of resources along the way.

Although through my work as a PT at Mayo Clinic I see patients with particular diagnoses, in my coaching work, I don’t focus on your diagnosis as much as I do your overall state of health and wellness, while integrating my knowledge on various health conditions.
