I am licensed in Wisconsin with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines dialectal behavioral therapy, behavior activation, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I like to use the analogy you are in the driver's seat of the car and I am in the passenger seat, there to help navigate you toward you goals.
I look forward to working with you!
Due to licensing, I am only accepting phone or video sessions.
