I partner with my clients to reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and malaise, while also building strengths and adaptation strategies. To do this, we usually 1) explore any straightforward or creative ways to alter life circumstances that contribute to the malaise, and 2) identify, then make and implement a plan to reduce any self-limiting thoughts, beliefs, assumptions, and doubts that contribute to my clients' distress. While this sounds abstract and difficult, I am informal in my approach and we often have a good time getting where we're going!

Often times throughout life we find ourselves feeling disconnected. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, untethered and lost without any sense of direction. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients as they navigate and discover the path to their most authentic self. I strive to provide a safe space where clients feel comfortable in exploring their past, rewriting personal narratives, and forging an understanding of self that enables living presently. Together we'll discover your strengths, while exploring areas that crave nurturing and healing.

My areas of speciality include stress and anxiety, managing ADHD, burn-out, and high-stress careers. I work with people around their interpersonal relationships and their relationship with themselves, with realistic understanding of the demands of the modern world. I work well with clients who might not "like therapy" generally, and still recognize they might benefit from talking to someone. I also work with men looking to change relationship and emotional patterns, and have extensive experience with professionals and professional students.

I have been practicing since 2015 as an LPC. I have interest in working with people in the Queer community. I identify as Queer and enjoy working with others looking to have a provider in community.

I provide online counseling services to individuals struggling with life changes, relationships, family conflict, anxiety and any other stressors life can bring. If you are feeling overwhelmed due to current circumstances, COVID-19, past memories and experiences that keep resurfacing, maladaptive coping, low self-esteem, difficulty maintaining boundaries and/or are just feeling stuck, I am here to support you. I understand the difficulty of finding a compassionate therapist you feel connected to.

I understand that starting therapy can be a scary process. I work to create an open and inviting atmosphere for everyone who walks through my door. It is important to feel like you have a "good fit" with your therapist, which is why I take the time to listen to what brings you in, hear your personal goals and explain what you can expect from therapy. It's not my job to judge, blame, or take sides. I will work with you to provide applicable tools and resources, identify your personal strengths and offer new ways of communicating to provide relief.

I began my career in social work and community activism. I worked as a child and family social worker, drug and alcohol counselor and treating eating disorders. After completing graduate studies/ Marriage and Family Therapist training, I entered private practice. I provide training on Problem Gambling and specialize in trauma and addictive-compulive behaviors. It is a gift and a mission to be able to help people attain their life goals. I believe that all individuals can attain healthy, serene and fulfilling lives if they are honest, open-minded and willing to work toward those ends.

How are you feeling these days? If stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationships, marriage, parenting challenges, career or job stress, the weight of the pandemic (just to name a few) has affected you, we want to help. Our clients are people like you who are problem aware. You know when something is wrong, it's time for a change or even that something is just "off". Simply put - you know what you want and how you want to feel but you need some support or guidance on how to get there.

I believe therapy is a great place to start when you’re feeling stuck and/or wanting to make a change in your life. Therapy is a great way to help you identify the obstacles in your life and give you the courage to meet those obstacles head-on in a safe and supportive environment. The space provided in therapy can also help break out of your old and unproductive ways of coping; this can lead to new and exciting ways to living your life. Your therapy can be brief or long-term, depending on your needs. So, allow me support you as you get unstuck, find your passion, and enjoy your life to its fullest.

I have been told by clients that they appreciate my down-to-Earth, non-textbook style of therapy. Talking with someone can be difficult and finding a good fit is a challenge. I will offer you a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss your concerns and help you identify and navigate a feasible path to a resolution. Our sessions will be impactful, as you will feel heard and valued. You will discover tools to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. We will meet in person (or via video) in Madison, WI. Also, I provide tele-therapy to MA, CT, and ME.
