I embrace an eclectic approach to healing, designed to empower diverse individuals to reach their mental health, education, career, and wellness goals. By incorporating elements from multiple evidenced-based practices, the client and I work together to create and manage a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs.

I am an MA, LPC-IT located in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

Currently offering both individual and group sessions using TELEHEALTH services.

Now offering Walk & Talk therapy! Accepting new clients! I have a passion for helping adolescents, and individuals meet life's challenges. My work combines innovative techniques with an assortment of traditional approaches. I use a lot of humor and sarcasm in my sessions. I’m kind, honest and empathetic, and I’m here to support you. Services can be completely through Telehealth, or a combination of face-to-face and Telehealth. This service is open to Wisconsin residents at this time.

I have always enjoyed getting to know the depths of what is going on inside of people. My favorite clients have been hurt and have kept masks on for a while. Their intuition tells them that coming to life means revealing their truth and becoming present with what's going on inside of them. My therapy is not designed to be a one size fits all and I appreciate those who are motivated to grow, even if they're not sure exactly the direction. I am also a yoga therapist and help folks heal through working with their bodies. I enjoy working with: men, anyone overcoming trauma, and anyone looking for a big permanent change in their life.

My experience and passion is working with kids, teens and their families starting at the age of 7 through 18. I have experience and training in working with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), family changes and dynamics, anger management, life transitions, self-esteem/confidence building, behavioral issues, grief, emotion regulation, and mindfulness. I also work with schools and teachers regarding school struggles. Furthermore, my experience includes parent education, stress management, peer relationships, and development of coping skills to build resilience.

If the current situation has you trying to overcoming anxieties, depression, substance abuse, and eating disorders, my commitment to you is to support and empower you. My therapeutic approach is to build trusting relationships with my clients while helping them find healing life skills, and sustainable wellness. I view my work as a supporter who empowers you towards self-actualization.

As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth & positive change for you. I look forward to working with you to addresses your challenges & realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.

I feel incredibly honored to provide my clients with a non-judgmental, supportive and trusting environment which can oftentimes be a powerful catalyst for healing and for bringing about meaningful change.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, adults, ​and couples to meet the challenges they may be experiencing such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, anger management, addiction, self-esteem issues or perhaps spiritual emptiness. One of my goals is to shed light on the issues that you are currently experiencing, noticing the internal roots of conflict, and finding ways to make meaningful and purposeful shifts in your life. My treatment approach is integrative, and following an assessment of the individual needs of my client determines which modalities I utilize.

As a therapist I believe therapy is about progress not perfection! I recognize therapy can be intimidating and overwhelming. That being said, I truly value the supportive nature and positive impact therapy can have in a person's life. My goal is to help my clients dive deeper into their personal story for the purpose of healing. I believe it is important to look at their current situation as well as the past and future to accomplish the most meaningful growth possible.

Welcome and thanks for stopping by my page! I understand that this effort to find a counselor can be one filled with anxiety. You have reached a point in your life where you have done all you can to help yourself, but you still find yourself needing assistance in doing so. I am honored that you chose to stop here for a moment. Making the next steps to contact a counselor will require more strength. I know you can do it. You have come this far, don’t stop! Whether you choose me someone else, you’re heading in the right direction.

When I think about an ideal client, I think about someone who knows what their best outcome is. This doesn't necessarily mean that they know exactly how to say it, but they may be able to tell me how it will look, or how they will feel when their problem is resolved. Once I know that, , I will invest energy and resources during our time together to make sure that we are moving towards that goal in each and every session. Along the way, we will face challenges together, but I will also call out strengths and remind you just how many resources you have in your life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and licensed Art Therapist who approaches counseling in a holistic standpoint, by incorporating cognitive understanding, and emotional support with the creative self. While participating in therapy does not require you to engage in the experiential arts, I do encourage self-expression to release blocked emotion within sensitive surroundings. Some of the important areas of work include building self-esteem, self-identity, and helping to overcome deficits such as anger, communication, anxiety, separation of the family unit, depression, and substance abuse counseling. Being able to recognize your individual strengths and building on them helps encourage personal empowerment!
