Happy 7th birthday to The Nourished Brain, LLC! When I started my private practice in 2016, I had no idea what it could look like now. I am so grateful for my brave and beautiful clients, past and present, my brilliant and kind colleagues, and for the safe and peaceful space in which I do my most favorite work. I’m in the process of becoming an Eating Disorder Treatment Facilitator as part of a task force created by IAEDP to facilitate connections between primary care providers and local eating disorder treatment resources. The next year in business will bring exciting growth and challenges, and I’m so happy that I get to learn, laugh, and cry with such incredible humans every day.🪴

Today is International Trans Day of Visibility. As a mental health professional, it is my job to provide evidence-based treatment, and the evidence is clear. Gender-affirming care saves lives.

Happy 6th birthday to The Nourished Brain! Six years ago, I had no idea how to run a business. I just knew I had to try. Three years ago, I’d never done any virtual work. Now I see 1/4 of my clients via Telehealth. Thank you to all of you who have been my clients, colleagues, and supports. You help me do the best job in the world for me. I am grateful for each of you!🤍
