Welcome to Wild Wellness Co, my private practice based in Michigan and Pennsylvania. I am glad you are here.

I'm a clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience, and I work with adults and young adults who are anxious, capable, and exhausted from trying to keep it all together. Much of my work is with anxiety, especially social anxiety and the kind of worry that won't switch off, along with confidence, assertiveness, relationships, and the transitions that leave us wondering who we are. I've long been passionate about nature as a healing tool, and I'm motivated to help preserve our ailing planet. In my clinical work, I provide a safe space within an authentic relationship to work through life's challenges. I believe in the power of mastering discomfort to move us toward growth, and I look forward to doing that work alongside my Wild Wellness clients.

I earned my Master's in Social Work in 2013 from the University of Michigan School of Social Work, the #1 program in the country. Following my clinical internship in the U-M Department of Psychiatry, I completed a fellowship in Michigan Medicine's Adult Ambulatory Psychiatry, where I specialized in anxiety disorders, grief and loss, and depression. I was rigorously trained in CBT (including exposure therapy), motivational interviewing, DBT, and interpersonal psychotherapy, and it's where I fell in love with developing and facilitating therapy and skills groups.

For nearly a decade, I also built and led mental health training programs, work I loved as much as clinical practice. As a clinical director for the TRAILS program, I helped grow it from 15 Michigan schools to every county in the state, with additional programming in Colorado and Massachusetts. Along the way, I've been lucky to:

• Develop school-based mental health programming for youth in Uganda

• Teach Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at the University of Michigan

• Publish in the journals Implementation Science and Practice, Cognitive and Behavioral Practice, and Implementation Science

• Contribute content to the book Experiential Billionaire

I now bring my clinical training and program development experience to Wild Wellness, where I work with clients through individual therapy, wellness coaching, and group work. I also create self-guided tools for use by our Wild Wellness Community.

No matter how we work together, my hope is the same: to help you understand yourself more clearly, learn new ways of being, and gain skills you can use to thrive.
