Alongside my clinical training in psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness-based approaches, I also studied holistic nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. That training expanded my view of how deeply interconnected the mind and body really are.

In my work as a therapist based in Richmond, Virginia—offering services statewide—I’ve come to deeply appreciate how mental health is about more than just what happens in the therapy room. True emotional well-being often involves nurturing the whole self, which means paying attention to the interconnected pillars of therapy, nutrition, sleep, and movement.
