Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sheboygan, WI


I’m a licensed therapist with experience in both hospital and outpatient settings, working with individuals navigating mood challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and the everyday weight that can come with trying to hold everything together.

I approach therapy as a collaborative and honest space where you don’t have to filter or perform. I’ll meet you where you are, while also helping you gently look at patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck. I value real conversations, consistency, and creating an environment where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up fully as yourself.

My goal is to help you build insight, feel more grounded, and move toward a life that feels more manageable, aligned, and genuinely yours.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • La Crosse, WI


I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions so they can feel more confident, balanced, and connected to themselves. I also enjoy supporting individuals navigating cultural, identity, and multicultural concerns who want a space where they feel seen and understood. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you can manage on your own, therapy can help you gain clarity, build healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe each person already has strengths, resilience, and the capacity for change. My role isn't to tell you who to be, but to work alongside you as we build on the tools you already have, develop new skills, and navigate life's challenges together. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to grow and move toward the life you want.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Manitowoc, WI


About Me

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare. For over a decade, I have had the privilege of serving the Manitowoc and Sheboygan communities through Lakeshore Community Health, now Noble Community Clinics, providing comprehensive care in both primary care and behavioral health settings.

My clinical passion lies in helping individuals struggling with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and the effects of trauma. I have extensive experience providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), including Suboxone and Vivitrol, and I am committed to supporting patients through recovery with a compassionate, structured, and evidence-based approach.

I believe healthcare should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms or diagnoses. Physical health, mental wellness, emotional well-being, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors all play an important role in overall health. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their care.

As the founder of Mind & Body Renew, I combine traditional medicine with functional and integrative approaches to help identify and address the root causes of illness. I am passionate about partnering with patients to create individualized treatment plans that promote healing, long-term wellness, and a better quality of life.

Originally from Texas, I moved to Wisconsin in 1999 after my marriage and have proudly called this community home ever since. My husband and I have raised four wonderful children and are blessed with nine grandchildren who bring tremendous joy to our lives. When I am not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and spoiling our two beloved fur babies.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better health, healing, and renewal.

Therapist

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.
