Education

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Certified Wellness Counselor (CWC), meditation instructor, and hiking guide. I received my M.A. in Clinical Counseling and B.A. in Psychology from The Ohio State University.

Counseling

For ten years, I have provided holistic counseling, helping people cultivate a life that aligns with their values while moving through painful seasons. I have guided people through anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, panic attacks, OCD, phobias, addictions, schizophrenia, and other misunderstood struggles. It’s an honor to do this work.

Writing

I have published six books. I’m a self-taught writer, fueled by a never-ending thirst for beauty. I have also written and edited hundreds of mental health courses, meditations, worksheets, interventions, videos, and blog articles for a startup mental health app. I have experience ghostwriting for magazines such as Prevention Magazine, National Geographic, Time Magazine, Healthline, MindBodyGreen, and others.

Teaching

I have taught courses and workshops on the following topics:

  • Mindfulness During the Madness

  • Conscious Communication

  • Spiritual Wellness In College

  • Finding Balance In a Digital World

  • Establishing & Maintaining Boundaries

  • Self-Care for Helpers

  • Identifying & Using Your Strengths

Managing

I have four years of experience building and managing a university Wellness Coaching Program. I also have two years of experience overseeing the clinical content, voice, and direction for a mental health app, which included managing therapists from all over the world.

Training & Consulting

I have trained over 300 peer coaches and mental health clinicians to treat the mind, body, and spirit of their clients. I have also consulted for universities across the United States that need guidance starting their own Wellness Coaching Program for students.

Gathering

I enjoy building communities. I have facilitated many gatherings that involve writing, spoken word, music, cacao, hiking, and intentional connection. I founded Creatives Gone Hiking (@creativesgonehiking) and continue to host meetups.

Just Me

I absolutely love being outdoors, learning from different cultures while traveling, visiting old monasteries and ruins, playing the drums, and being barefoot whenever possible. I strive to honor God in all that I do. I currently live in Delaware, Ohio.
