Boundaries create connection, and connection is at the heart of healing. Join me in a brave space where you can build your skills to navigate the challenges of relating, and figure out how you want to be in relationships and step into your potential. I am most passionate about working with adults who want to build self-acceptance, heal traumatic stress, and establish a foundation for healthy relationships. I am sex-positive and passionate about providing affirming care to the LGBTQ+ and ethically non-monogamous communities, and hope to provide a shared understanding of what it is like to live with these identities.

I help couples have more satisfying, connected, and intimate relationships, one conversation at a time. We all know communication is key to wonderful relationships, but what does good communication really mean?

Are you tired of living a life that feels unfulfilling and inauthentic? You can tell something isn't right, and you're frustrated because you've worked so hard to get to where you are. You're struggling with overthinking, self doubt, stress, and anxiety. You have a hard time with making decisions because you've always done what you felt was the right thing to do and lost yourself in the process. Now that you're here, it's hard to figure out what you should do next. Even though you're overwhelmed and confused, things can get better.

The process of therapy requires the unmasking of socially condoned violence done to individuals. In therapy, the uncovering process requires digging through layers of neglect and indifference, contempt and ridicule, shame and humiliation, criticism and guilt, exploitation and manipulation. Almost without exception, each breakthrough involves breakage and releases costly feelings of outrage, hatred, and pain. The reparative process calls for understanding, acceptance, and support, along with a ritualistic observance of the symbolic meanings of the events which come to light.

I understand how the ups/downs and hustle and bustle of life can have you feeling “stuck." I am here to help you regain your peace of mind! My framework uses a variety of therapeutic methods to provide the best guidance for you in a safe haven for doing your inner work. I provide transformative therapy/coaching and incorporate mind-body practices such as yoga, meditation, Reiki, and sound healing to help you reclaim your wellness.

My clients are adults who are looking to increase insight and gain tools needed to return to being an active participant in their life rather than just going through the motions. Whether struggling with anxiety, trauma, burn out, parenting or relational stress, I am here to help.

Many people suffer and they are not quite sure what the problem is. Many other people may have been told what the problem is but this still has not helped. These are the people I work best with. No matter what the problem seems to be, I seem to be able to help when others have not. When my clients have told me this, I know I am on the right track.

Each stage of life presents many challenges. Despite the challenges you may be experiencing, you have the capacity to make a change. Seeking and finding the right support through these difficult times is an important first step to creating the life you desire. Whether you are looking for support in addressing your depressed mood, anxious thoughts, relationship issues, or facing life's many difficulties, we can create a plan for you to create change. I help my clients understand their current struggles, past narratives, and develop plan for a better life.

Are you struggling with prioritizing yourself without feeling guilty? Do you put yourself last on you feel like you are constantly prioritizing the needs of others over your own? You don’t recognize the women you see in the mirror and you wonder how this has happened. Have you lost sight of your goals, desires and personality? Your mood frequently fluctuates and you just can’t seem to keep it stable? You’ve read self help books, watched Tiktoks and talked to your friends yet you haven’t been able to shake the feelings you have. Relationships with peers, family and partners are overwhelming and at times you just want to run away.

I believe that creating art serves as communication between our inner and outer worlds. It is a natural form of expression that can bring about healing and recovery. I am deeply committed to helping people find meaning and purpose in their lives. Through the creative process, I help clients discover their strengths and overcome feelings of emptiness and hopelessness. As the founder of Milwaukee Art Therapy Collective, I have worked to create an art studio that sparks creativity and to provide a nurturing therapeutic space for hope and healing.

Life is rarely a smooth journey and sometimes it is necessary to seek the help of a therapist. I am dedicated to providing clients with a safe, comfortable and nonjudgmental environment so that the important work of healing and change can go forth. I recognize that each person is unique and I provide a highly personalized approach tailored to each client's needs.

Therapy provides us the opportunity for greater self-discovery and deepened self-understanding. The person I enjoy working with is someone who is genuinely curious about what makes them tick, why they make choices that sink their dreams or sabotage the relationships important to them; but who are also wanting to know their strengths and talents so they can embrace and use them more effectively.

I am a therapist with a deep passion to help children, adolescents, and adults who suffer with different behavioral and mental health issues. My therapeutic approach will always remain collaborative. Therefore, whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, low self-esteem or stress management issues, I will take the time to listen to your problems and we will work together to create your own personal story of change toward a better life.

You've been to therapy and talked about what happened to you, but you can't shake the feeling there's something more you need. Are there still flashbacks, distracted thinking, and dissociation? Does keeping yourself anchored in the here and now seem like a daily struggle? Maybe the shame and the beliefs you should have known better or should have done something still haunt you. We can't think our way out of feeling, and EMDR gets to the core issue and facilitates reprocessing the things that talking alone can't touch.
