Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wisconsin with over 15 years of experience as a therapist. I have worked with a wide variety of clients in-home, outpatient, and telehealth including children, teenagers, adults, and families. I have experience working with a wide variety of clinical issues as well including (but not limited to) women's issues, ADHD, depression, anxiety, stress, family conflict, parenting problems, life transitions, mood disorders, and trauma.
A main focus in my treatment is establishing a positive therapeutic relationship with the person first and foremost as I believe having a good connection helps facilitate effective counseling and provides the best outcomes. I use a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach in treatment. This means I begin where you are and tailor the treatment plan to your needs while being sensitive to how your individual identity and lifestyle choices impact your experience. I primarily use evidence based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, DBT skills, and solution-focused counseling.
I would describe my counseling style as warm, compassionate, supportive and respectful. I believe in individualized therapy and meeting my client's where they are and allowing that to help guide the treatment plan. I believe in working collaboratively to help clients work towards their treatment goals. It takes courage to change and I applaud you for taking steps towards bettering your life. I would be honored to work with you towards your treatment goals!
