Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Green Bay, WI

Hello, and welcome.

Seeking support can be one of the most courageous steps a person takes, and I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and genuinely supported. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward the life you want to live.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor with extensive experience working with adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Throughout my career, I have worked in outpatient, residential, and community-based settings, helping individuals navigate some of life's most difficult experiences while rediscovering their strengths and sense of purpose.

In addition to my clinical experience, I am a United States Air Force combat veteran and former first responder. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into the unique challenges associated with high-stress professions, trauma exposure, operational demands, transition struggles, and the pressure of carrying significant responsibility while managing your own well-being. As a result, I have a particular passion for working with veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, healthcare professionals, and others whose careers require them to care for others while often neglecting themselves.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in AZ and WI, Certified Biblical Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I don’t just bring textbook therapy skills to the table—I bring life experience, authenticity, and a fierce commitment to helping you heal. What really sets me apart is my "spicy" approach. Therapy with me isn’t cookie-cutter. I respect the foundational theories, but I thrive on making sessions as dynamic and individualized as you need them to be.

I am a licensed Profession Counselor with more than a decade of experience in the mental health field. I have been working in a variety of settings since 2012, providing counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Throughout my career I have worked with a wide range of mental health diagnoses as well as substance use concerns. My clinical focus and the area I am most passionate about is trauma. I am nationally certified in Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), with an additional training and clinical experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Aggression Replacement Training. My therapeutic style is compassionate, genuine, and highly individualized. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working together to determine what they need from therapy. Sometimes that means learning new skills, sometimes it means having a safe place to talk and be heard, and sometimes it means a little bit of everything. My goal is to help clients feel safe, supported, understood, and genuinely empowered, not managed. I truly believe that having a place where you can feel safe and relaxed is often the first step toward healing. When we have the opportunity to let our guard down and feel accepted for who we are, we can begin to process what we've been carrying and work toward letting go.

Outside of work, life is busy and lively with my husband, out two children and our collection of pets. We have two cats, two dogs, and a rabbit. Animals have always been one of my main coping skills and self care. I am happiest when surrounded by them. I am also usually happiest in the middle of a DIY project, even if I'm not entirely sure how it is going to turn out when I start.

I have worked primarily with adults, older adults, and adolescents on issues of mental health that may be impacting one's ability to function in day-to-day life such as: depression, anxiety, other mood and thought disorders, suicidality (for individuals as well as those bereaved from suicide losses), interpersonal violence, LGBTQIA+ support, topics surrounding race and culture, hoarding (both individuals affected and their loved ones), criminal justice system-involvement, and trauma (individual, intergenerational, and community).

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have experience working in outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatric settings, residential substance use treatment, as well as community re-entry and job coaching support programs for the last 10 years.

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 an empowering, warm, and direct LPC therapist who is also solution focused brings clarity and steadiness to clients who are navigating mental health challenges. I provide individual psychotherapy grounded in evidence-based practices, helping clients build structure, strengthen healthy coping skills, and move toward emotional stability.

I am licensed in both mental health and substance use treatment in the state of Wisconsin, and have spent over 20 years working with a wide range of people and concerns in many different settings. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to offer a grounded, respectful space where you feel heard, accepted, and supported at your own pace.

I serve a broad population of clients coping with crisis, trauma, faith-based issues, relationship and marital issues, substance use and addictions, anger management and emotional dysregulation, career decisions, self-esteem and self-efficacy skill development, and other challenges clients are facing.

My philosophy is meeting clients where they are, without bias or judgment. I believe the client is the expert in their own life, and I am here to walk beside, providing the tools and techniques to support finding solutions and healing. I use an integrative theoretical approach to tailor services to meet the clients' needs. I work with clients from a holistic approach.

I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision, a Master's in Professional Counseling, a Masters in Health Care Administration, and a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I am licensed in Wisconsin as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Nurse.

I’ve spent my career supporting people who have experienced trauma, mental health, and substance use issues. I have used a mix of traditional talk therapy, art and adventure therapies to assist in the healing process. I have been in practice since 2002 after completing my master's in social work at Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts. Prior to completing my master's I worked in the social work field, working as a case manager and substance use counselor, and volunteering at my local domestic abuse program answering the crisis hotline, facilitating community support groups, and assisting in the annual walk for women's safety. I work with children, adults, families, couples, and groups. My style is natural and organic, giving you space to heal in a way that feels right for you. My approach is person centered. My focus is to help you build trust and safety at your own pace and create a strong therapeutic relationship for you to heal.

If you're between 18 and 80 and you're dealing with anxiety or depression that shows up in your relationships, your habits, or your ability to stay on track, you're exactly who I work with. I'm experienced with addiction and relapse prevention, and I understand that recovery isn't linear. I graduated with my Master's in 2023 and have worked with individuals, couples, and families across a range of settings, including anger management and substance-focused groups. I lead with curiosity about who you are, not just what you're struggling with.
