You are more than just a mental health diagnosis. There is an underlying reason for mental health issues, often unexplored or unexplained. When these are recognized, the goal of treatment can be clarified and is often easier to accept. I am a nurse first and strive to see and treat the patient as a whole person. I have a special interest in working with clients with mental health issues and comorbid chronic pain. By addressing physical wellness and combining medication management with diet, exercise, and vitamin supplementation, I add a holistic approach to the treatment of mental health.

Have you felt as if your past psychiatry providers didn’t have the time for your concerns, or even didn’t really know you or hear you? Working together to find the most appropriate diagnoses and best possible medication or other treatment modalities for you as an individual is my goal. I believe that this can be best accomplished by establishing a mutually respectful and trusting relationship, where you will be treated as an individual, not an illness or a number.

We take the time to truly understand our patients, therefore, our treatment is truly more tailored to the individual.

Sometimes when we reach a place of safety in our lives, paradoxically symptoms can emerge, growing louder, calling our attention to care for ourselves in a new way. Maybe you feel stuck in the past. Or too busy worrying about the future to enjoy your life today. Perhaps you're bone-tired, overwhelmed, out of alignment, or don't feel like yourself. Or from the outside things appear great, you wonder: why am I still a mess inside? Part of you feels ready to set down whatever pain burdens you. Let's get curious about that. If you're in WI, MN, or IL considering a new approach to your mental health, I would love to be a resource to you.
