I come with over 34 years of Clinical eperience. I am open to help anyone willing to do the work to change and make a better life for themselves.

I am a psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Superior. My path into this work grew from a deep interest in healing, self-awareness, and helping people reconnect with themselves and others. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families around anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, religious trauma, spiritual concerns, and psychedelic integration.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, life transitions, chronic health concerns using a lifestyle medicine–informed approach. Many clients feel overwhelmed managing both mental health symptoms and physical conditions, while balancing work, relationships, and caregiving demands. Often high-functioning yet exhausted, they carry a significant mental and physical load and feel disconnected from their needs or direction. This work focuses on restoring stability by addressing the behavioral and lifestyle factors that influence overall health.

I believe prioritizing mental health is an important part of creating a balanced and fulfilling life, and I know reaching out for support is often one of the hardest steps to take. Since beginning my practice in 2021, I have worked primarily with adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as we work together toward healing, self understanding, and meaningful growth.
