Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Eau Claire, WI covered by Cigna

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. Finding the right therapist is important!

I work with individuals as young as 3 years old and adults. I enjoy working with all ages to support individuals throughout their journey.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, and parenting strategies, but I have extensive experience with various mental health disorders.

As a parent of two, I understand the challenges and joys of everyday life. I'd be honored to help you, your child, or your family navigate difficult times.

experienced counselor of over 20 years - master's degree from the University of Iowa - college instructor - midwestern upbringing - married to a professor and two adult kids.

I graduated from UW-Stout in 2020 and had a crash course of therapy during the pandemic. This has allowed me to become a more empatheic and passionate therapist who works hard to support clients through all of life's changes. I specialize in couples and relational work, but also work with indiviudals who are looking to navigate grief, anxiety, life changes, and stress. I support and research women's health, fertility/infertility and treat perinatal mood disorders.

The therapeutic process is one of endless discovery and self-empowerment. Seeking out help is a valiant first step in this personal journey to befriend yourself. Befriending yourself greatly opens the internal space to invite others in so that we might have fuller, richer, and more wholesome relationships with those we love and those we’ve yet to meet. If you seek to reconnect, or connect more deeply, with your inherent goodness, then please reach out. I am deeply excited by the prospect of being able to share this experience with you.

Hello! I have a masters in art therapy but hold licenses to be both a professional counselor and a registered art therapist. This allows me to have a unique take on therapy. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, explore challenges at your own pace, and build the skills needed to move forward with confidence.

I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach, tailoring therapy to each person's unique needs, interests, and goals.

While I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care, I also enjoy integrating creativity and art when it feels helpful. No artistic experience is ever required—art is simply another way to express thoughts and emotions that can be difficult to put into words.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I'm committed to helping you feel heard, empowered, and equipped with practical tools that extend beyond our sessions.

Starting therapy takes courage, and I want you to know that you do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, anxious, discouraged, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own. Wherever you are in your process, my goal is to meet you there with warmth, curiosity, and respect.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, substance use, eating concerns, stress, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and major life transitions. I believe that healing is not about becoming a different person. It is about reconnecting with yourself, understanding your patterns, and building the tools to move through life with more confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.

In our work together, you can expect a supportive space where you feel heard, encouraged, and gently challenged when needed. I bring both compassion and practical guidance to therapy, helping you better understand what is keeping you stuck while also creating realistic steps toward change.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe place to be heard without judgment. My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative, and I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself while working toward meaningful change. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I am also certified in Trauma-Informed-Care and as a First Responder Counselor, allowing me to provide specialized support to individuals who have experienced trauma. I strive to create an environment where clients feel heard, respected and understood. While I provide compassion and support, I am also an active therapist who will challenge unhelpful patterns when necessary. I believe growth happens when we balance acceptance with accountability.
