I specialize in children and teens, but I love working with the whole family and helping to build and rebuild healthy family relationships.
My counseling sessions focus on the entire person: mind, body, and spirit. When you come to my office, you will be able to share the things in your life that you are struggling with and know that what you share will be met with compassion. In each session, you can just let me know what you'd like to discuss and what you'd like to get out of therapy.

My special interests include working with children, adolescents and families who are experiencing life transitions, anger, anxiety and trauma.
Kids, adolescents and families are my passion. When I’m not at Building Blocks Counseling Center, I may be found on the University of Dubuque campus as an adjunct psychology professor, mentoring up and coming psychology professionals, or working with new moms who are experiencing postpartum depression. I am the mother of two boys, one that spent 3 months in the NICU, so we have had quite an adventure in our time as a family. My mission is to assist individuals in exploring and processing life experiences while learning tools to build healthy foundations on which to grow into stronger and healthier versions of themselves.

Whether you are emotionally stuck, struggling to be your best self, having family conflict, live in an emotionally chaotic environment, or have a child who is struggling, its hard to reach for help.
When faced with relationships, family, employment, or personal emotional difficulties, it is hard to know who to trust. Family, friends, and co-workers might have well intended advice, but it is not what you really needed to feel better. You need a safe place to heal from past trauma, ongoing mental illness with someone who truly listens and is knowledgeable. The idea of therapy can be scary for some, but with the right provider, you can feel more confident, self-compassionate, and able to cope with those challenges in life.

I take a collaborative approach when working with children, teens, and adults.
I find myself grounded in an Attachment-based, somatic, and existential approach working with ages 3-77+. As humans, we each are the experts of our lives and lived experiences. It is through that expertise that we hold the capability to heal. As a play therapist, I believe that children communicate and heal through play and utilize integrative and synergetic approaches, sand tray, attachment-based play, and EMDR to assist children and their families. With some clients, I will evaluate systemic norms and how the client can be empowered by examining the role of power structures as they relate to the impact of developing identity.
