Prior to getting my PsyD from the Michigan School of Psychology, I had a career in the visual arts and public high school education. I ran a program option for creative, nonconforming, self-directed students. As a result, I still love working with people in the arts, and I love helping people get in touch with passions that lead to an optimal, creative way of manifesting their life energy in the world. I am committed to being present with people as they work through trauma and grief and then move into resilience and growth. I belong to the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation
