I HELP BRING THE MIND, BODY AND THE SOUL INTO BALANCE BY OFFERING THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM DISORDERED EATING, SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDER, AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING.
I have a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling & School Counseling from Wayne State University. I specialize in disordered eating, substance use disorder, mindfulness, movement therapy, and adventure-based counseling. I also hold a Master's in Art & Art Education from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Eastern Michigan University. In addition, I am a holistic health coach from the Institute of Integrated Nutrition with over 25 years of experience. I recently completed a 200-hour yoga certification and Social-Emotional Learning certificate through Breathe for Change. My interest includes Bhakti Yoga and the science of Ayurveda and its effects on one's overall health.
