Psychology Educator, Speaker, Coach, and Author

With over 25 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I am passionate about bringing my psychology expertise to empower people toward mind-body-spirit wellness, purpose, and compassionate living. I speak at conferences, podcasts, and other events to share the psychological benefits of plant-based living, strengthening resilience and well-being, and how to thrive with a plant-powered 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, PCRM Food for Life program, and the PCRM CARING study.

My areas of expertise include:

• Holistic wellness and healthy lifestyle

• Overcoming social and emotional barriers to healthy lifestyle change
• Benefits of a plant-powered lifestyle for emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being
• The food-mood connection
• Emotional resilience and well-being
• Thriving emotionally and socially as a vegan
• Finding and expressing authentic purpose
• Empowered and effective communication
• Values alignment and compassion
• Plant-based cooking skills for better health and wellness
