I think it is important to know that I am a very genuine person who strives to make the counseling space feel warm and safe.

I offer a unique blend of traditional mental health therapy and holistic approaches, including energy healing and other complementary practices when they align with a client's goals and interests. I believe that beneath life's challenges, past experiences, self-criticism, and the many roles we carry is a deeper, authentic part of ourselves that often gets overlooked or disconnected. My work is centered on helping clients better understand themselves, heal emotional wounds, reconnect with their inner strengths and wisdom, and create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with who they truly are. I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can explore both practical solutions and deeper personal growth.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients can feel safe exploring difficult experiences while building great self- awareness and lasting change. My approach is grounded in relational and experiential therapy, while also integrating evidence- based techniques tailored to each client's unique needs. I value authenticity, curiosity, and helping clients reconnect with themselves in meaningful and empowering ways.

You have learned a lot about what works/doesn't work for you over the years, so let's work together and build on that. I have found that small changes in thoughts, attitudes, and actions can snowball into big differences for clients. I have experience in private practice, schools and inpatient mental health that I will gladly bring to the table to help you! My master's degree is in counseling education, and I have had my License as a Professional Counselor for 13 years. I have completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused therapy and many others and continue to expand my knowledge with trainings continuously. I have had the most experience in schools working with children dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder/Persistent Demand Avoidance. My work in private practice included anxiety, depression, divorce recovery work with AODA issues. I also have exposure to a wide variety of mental disorders from my time working in inpatient mental health. I seek to specialize mostly in anxiety and depression on this platform, but will keep an open mind to other issues that I might be able to help.

What do you need right now to make things okay? Its likely that if you knew that answer, you would not be looking for help! Life feels so frustrating or hopeless sometimes; you want to feel good but just don’t know how. It is hard to know where to start. The truth is, you already have all the answers within yourself but those answers may be hiding, obscured by fears or depression. They might be buried deep within you, just waiting to be recognized and brought forth.

Sometimes the solutions are easier to find with someone who will help you sort through all the noise to find what is true and real. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, past trauma or grief, I can help you find the path that works for you --in order-- to move forward with your life. Together, we will sort through the messiness that is life to find those pieces that make sense.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my profile! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin. I am warm, honest, and down to earth human. I work with clients who are navigating life and all its experiences, big and small, all are welcome. Some things I come across often are: anxiety, neurodivergence (all kinds), stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the emotional weight of trying to hold everything together during complicated times.

I’m a licensed therapist with a background in social work, and I’ve worked in both clinical and community settings supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and moments where things just feel “off.” Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship challenges, burnout, or a deeper sense of feeling stuck, I’m here to help you make sense of it and move forward.

My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and tailored to you. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods along—I’ll actively engage with you, offer insight, and help you connect patterns so you can create real, lasting change. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being fully yourself, while also gently challenging what’s no longer working.

I also specialize in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through a partnership with Journey Clinical, working alongside medical providers who prescribe and monitor treatment. This can be a powerful option for those who feel stuck in traditional approaches or are looking for a deeper level of healing and perspective.

I work with adults from all walks of life who are ready to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and feel more grounded and aligned in their day-to-day lives.
