It's not in my nature to boast, but I've reached a point in my career with expertise that's just too good to keep quiet! I don't have enough availability for new therapy patients, but I am now offering "FLIGHTS"~ Brief consults structured to help you take off with just 1-2 sessions. I include personalized, written feedback for you to keep and draw upon any time. Let's do this!

Nothing I've created was designed to replace therapy, for psychotherapy truly is irreplaceable. My passion for making my expertise more accessible has me too busy to take on new therapy patients personally, but we have a growing practice of therapists who I oversee and who are all trained in the 'forward edge' approach I take to everything. Come on in & have a seat :)
about me...
Co-founder & CEO, Kozist
Kozist is a new mental health and wellness app I co-founded and created with my husband. It's a community of people looking to create more meaningful and fulfilling lives guided by our 'forward edge' approach. It's easy and fun like social media, but rich in mental health benefits. The purpose of creating Kozist was to make our expertise as widely available as possible. Be sure to check it out!
therapist & principal, forward edge services
I began my private practice in Chicago in 2011, and have been seeing patients both in-person and virtually since long before the pandemic began. Now located in southwest Michigan (Saugatuck/Douglas), I am hiring, training, and overseeing a team of wonderful therapists in our unique 'forward edge' approach. Therapy gives you the ultimate level of support in moving forward.
associate director, project realize
Project Realize is a non-profit organization that I joined in the Chicago area to provide in-school treatment to at-risk, mostly gang-involved youth. We've now moved the project to Michigan, and broadened the population of people who can benefit from our services. Mental health services need to be more accessible, and PR makes it more affordable for people in need. Donate to help!
