Therapist

There are times in life when it feels like you're doing everything you're supposed to do, but somehow you're still exhausted, frustrated, disconnected, or stuck in the same patterns. You may be carrying stress, struggling in relationships, navigating depression, trying to be everything for everyone else, or realizing that the strategies that used to work for you simply aren't working anymore.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults, I help clients move beyond simply surviving and begin creating meaningful change. Whether you're navigating depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, men's issues, grief, or major life transitions, we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that you can actually use outside of therapy.

Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact. As a clinical social worker with experience across private practice, hospital social work, parenting education, and community care, I bring a broad range of experience to support us in working through challenges together.

Therapist

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Concordia University Wisconsin. I have experience working in substance abuse treatment, as well as providing individual and group therapy in both mental health clinic settings and public schools.

My clinical background includes supporting clients in diverse environments, where I have provided mental health services to individuals, adolescents, and groups. I am experienced in addressing substance use challenges alongside a range of mental health concerns.

My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
