Rae began her journey in the Eating Disorder world when she joined an Eating Disorder awareness group at her alma mater, the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. She continued to be heavily involved in eating disorder awareness and prevention while she completed her undergraduate degree in psychology. Rae went on to study counseling psychology and earned her Masters in 2018. During her time in graduate school, Rae served as the Graduate Assistant for PREVENT, a sexual assault and relationship violence prevention program on campus. Through this role and her involvement in the students’ Women’s Center, Rae’s passion for providing tools and resources to help others heal continued to grow. Shortly after returning to Colorado, Rae joined forces with Erin Benner and Brogan Rossi to build The Recovery Box. The Recovery Box bridges a gap in the mental health field by designing innovative tools that support recovery by adding tangibility to abstract clinical ideas. Rae serves as Chief Clinical Innovation Officer, where she takes her love of academic research and clinical expertise to inform the creation of each tool. Rae also acts as the Social Media Coordinator in which she facilitates authentic and recovery-focused content creation for The Recovery Box online community. Outside of The Recovery Box, Rae is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado specializing in Eating Disorders, Weight Stigma, and Sexual Trauma. She utilizes Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Feminist Theory, and experiential techniques to help her clients heal their relationships with food, body, and themselves. Rae’s unique use of sarcasm, honesty and bold creativity provides an individualized experience that encourages personal growth. Rae has an intense passion for learning and innovation. She is grateful she gets to do both each day in her work.
