What you might not know about me…
I am fiercely loyal to my family. I have built my life around my family and will do just about anything for them. As a mom of all adult kids (three of them), a grandmother and a wife, I’m pretty busy staying connected and loving each of them hard! I also know that my life is deserving of love, care and internal kindness. That’s a lesson that I learned the hard way. I was once so wrapped up in my work and my family that I didn’t make much space for me. That is all changing. Finding some balance in my life is the key to my own vitality!
Here are my professional credentials…
Doctorate of Philosophy in Psychology, PhD focusing on Addiction Studies
- Masters of Science, Counseling Psychology, MS
- Functional Medicine Practitioner, Kalish Method Mentorship
- Mental Health & Addiction Nutrition Coach
- Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach
- Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider
- In addition to being a Brain Health Consultant, I am the host of the edgy and inspiring national podcast series, The Gaslit Truth Podcast, where we whistle-blow the mental health industry – because you deserve better!
I’m Your Brain Health Consultant!
Most days, you’ll find me sitting in my comfiest chair, sipping freshly brewed coffee and diving into work. I absolutely love my job! I help women like you improve their brain health, conquer anxiety and depression, and become who they want to be without psychiatric medication or endless talk therapy!
When I’m Not Being a Complete Badass (LOL!), You Can Find Me…
Kayaking on Wisconsin’s beautiful lakes with my husband of over 29 years—we’re each other’s biggest fans, and it shows! When I’m soaking up the Florida Gulf life, I make sure to indulge in a large bowl of toasted coconut Kilwin’s ice cream while enjoying the sun and surf (if you know, you know).
I’m a mom of 3 and a grandma of 1! I thoroughly enjoy watching my son play collegiate football. I’m not just a sports fan; I’m an “anything my kid plays” fan! I affectionately call him “the sleeper” because his drive for life emerged from nowhere, and I believe he’s destined for big things. I’m grateful that my middle daughter lives nearby, allowing me to be a big part of her life. She’s incredibly cool (just like her mom) and always tells it like it is, sharing outrageous and funny stories that never fail to make me laugh! Recently, she blessed me with the title of grandmother, a truly wonderful gift! My oldest daughter is also a hard worker who knows how to have fun; she has a commanding presence that I slightly envy. All three of my amazing kids make me so proud!
I Love Serving Others By…
Finding the root of their issues so they can genuinely feel better. It’s the most rewarding aspect of my work. I’ve always felt that the mental health industry falls flat and fails more than it succeeds, leaving many without the support they truly need. While many mental health practitioners may fall short, I succeed in providing the effective support and solutions you deserve!
Helping others is in my blood; I come from a family of public servants, so it was ingrained in me to serve those around me. Thankfully, I can do just that by combining functional medicine and psychology.
I am fortunate that my passion for helping others has translated into a thriving practice! If you’re ready to take control of your mental health, let’s connect and start your journey to a happier, healthier brain today!
Nothing is as important as a life well lived!
The majority of my life I’ve been super busy! Sometimes a good busy, sometimes not so much. It wasn’t until anxiety and adrenal fatigue ravaged my life that I had to make some BIG changes, quickly! Those changes came just in time for me to really enjoy life as a mom, a grandma, an entrepreneur, a wife and most importantly as ME!
I feel it’s important for you to know that I’m just like you! Here are some pictures of my life and the people I love without a filter, without touch-ups, without a net!
