I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor, Licensed Independent Clinical Supervisor-In Training, Certified Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapist, and EMDR certified with over 10 years of experience. I draw experience and knowledge from both my education and my work as well as influences from throughout my life. I earned my MS in Criminal Justice and Psychology from UW-Platteville and MS in Clinical Mental Health from UW-Whitewater.
I have worked with individuals, couples and families. I have experience with children, teens, and adults. I believe in working together as a team and I celebrate diversity in a multicultural approach. I believe in celebrating our uniqueness and exploring our strengths and joys. I have experience with a wide variety of mental health struggles including and not limited to; anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, trauma, substance abuse/addictions, children with behavioral challenges, and eating disorders.
I provide a gentle, warm, non-judgemental, and safe approach to assist with building a solid and healthy therapeutic alliance and relationship. I am committed to creating a safe, secure, and supportive environment in which clients can feel comfortable to grow and heal. I aim to help my clients improve and accomplish meaningful and positive life changes by becoming free from unwanted thoughts, behaviors, or feelings. I work with clients on affect regulation, mindfulness and improving thought patterns while educating and empowering them to make changes needed to lead a more fulfilling life. Together, we will develop a plan that will celebrate your uniqueness and validate your worldview.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
