I speak at conferences, podcasts, and other events to share the psychological benefits of plant-based living and how to thrive with a vegan lifestyle. See my Media page for recent presentations, interviews, and guest articles.

In addition, I offer psychology consultation and programs for organizations and groups. I have been an instructor for various organizations, including Main Street Vegan Academy (Emotional Resilience), PCRM Food for Life program (The Psychology of Change), and the PCRM CARING study.

My areas of expertise include:

  • Transitioning to a plant-powered, vegan lifestyle

  • Benefits of a plant-powered lifestyle for emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being
  • The food-mood connection
  • Emotional resilience and wellness
  • Pillars of lifestyle medicine
  • Effectively handling psychosocial challenges
  • Thriving emotionally and socially as a vegan
  • Finding and expressing authentic purpose
  • Empowered and effective communication
  • Values alignment and compassion
  • Healthy self-care, life balance, and navigating transitions
  • Plant-based cooking skills for better health and wellness

Classes and Programs

Check out my Plant-Based Nutrition and Cooking Classes for support in improving your health and fitness, and to prevent, manage, and heal chronic disease.

Check out the Emotional Resilience Support Group – which I host as part of the Plant-Based Support Community. Meets live on the third Thursday of each month at 7pm ET. Join the Plant-Based Support Community (formerly called PBNSG) to attend this group and be part of a supportive community of people on the plant-based, vegan journey.

Want to go deeper with supporting others (or yourself) to transition to a vegan lifestyle? I am an instructor for the Vegan Transition Coach Certification Course, an on-demand, self-paced class that teaches the skills to successfully transition to a vegan lifestyle. This class covers nutrition, meal planning, ethics, coaching and communication skills, and how to successfully handle emotional and social challenges on the vegan path.

For therapists, healers, and compassionate changemakers, I offer individualized consultation to address personal and professional goals.

Author

I authored The Vegan Transformation (Lantern Publishing & Media, 2025). This book, based on research with vegans, explores the emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of thriving with a vegan lifestyle.

I am also co-author of the Behavioral Medicine Treatment Planner (1st edition) and authored the e-book 7 Best Practices to Inspire Loved Ones to Go Plant-Based.
