How I Stay Informed

When a person becomes a therapist, they commit themselves to being a lifetime student and as a self-proclaimed nerd, and that is fine by me! I am constantly reading books and articles, listening to podcasts, and consulting with other mental health and/or wellness providers.

A Lifelong Learner

Oftentimes, the information I consume comes from recommendations from my clients. Otherwise, I further my knowledge and practice based on the needs of my clients, identifying and pursuing trainings and information that can help guide our work together. I also consult regularly with others, including nutritionists/dieticians, exercise/movement practitioners, medical providers, and other mental health practitioners who have specialty training in areas I do not. I do not know it all, nor will I ever, but I enjoy working with the huge network of friends and colleagues I have acquired in my years in this field. Currently, I am working toward building my understanding of how society has impacted peoples’ perceptions of body image, gender identity, sexual identity, culture and race and how this impacts mental health.
