Life can be challenging and I believe people are resilient. I use a holistic, strength-based approach to meet children, adolescents and adults where they are at and create a safe, non-judgmental space to work through hardships.

Providing therapy and working to help patients is my lifelong passion. I take a strength based and trauma informed approach while working with patients who have a wide variety of mental health concerns. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and I use an interdisciplinary approach to therapy and tailor it to each client’s unique needs. In practice, I am direct, solution-focused, and passionate in assisting patients in meeting their goals.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you want things to be different than they are and nothing you have tried has worked so far. I work with individuals of all ages assisting them in managing change in their lives in relation to many events including anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, attachment, and trauma. I believe in a balance of mind, body, emotions and spirit in working towards wholeness.

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 20+ years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients (teens, adults, families) with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, substance use & depression. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Some people, including myself, have had a point in life where they feel there is something more in life, but don't know how to get there. Others may have gotten to a point where they don't feel they have potential. No matter where you are at-broken, stuck, or just feel you need someone to guide you in your journey, I can help you. I love to work with people people through their struggles by taking a relational and evidence based approach that focuses on using ones strength to accomplish their purpose. When one learns to use their strengths, they often feel happier and become more successful.

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 or someone else, you’re heading in the right direction.

Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.

I am compassionate, understanding, and supportive. I care deeply about others and the struggles life brings. I believe every person has the ability to make positive changes in their life. I provide effective counseling to families, couples, and individuals that will encourage life changes in many ways.

I look forward to working with people who are interested in personal growth. No matter what your life issues are, I will treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve. I offer complete confidentiality with sliding scale fees beginning at just $50. My private office is a safe and comfortable environment where we can work without interruption. I specialize in Relationships, PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression using an approach designed to empower you to live the life you prefer and deserve. I can also help if you have legal issues related to domestic or acting out behaviors.

If life is a struggle and you feel like it is getting harder for you to do things you used to enjoy, I would love to help you get where you want to be. You deserve to be happy and live the life you are meant to live. Sometimes we may need someone to help us travel our path through life and walk with us. If you are anxious, depressed or wondering how you will ever get through your emotional storm, call me and I will ride the wave with you. You are worth the best I can give. The purpose of my life is to help you find meaning and purpose in yours. Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often.

My journey to becoming a therapist started after returning home from a combat deployment, experiencing a devastating divorce and years of readjustment difficulties. During these deeply personal experiences, I became aware of the hurt and the brokenness we all face and now have a deep desire to help others to overcome as I did. I am passionate about helping couples find reconciliation and negotiating relationship pitfalls. As well as working with clients to heal from past trauma, manage their anxiety/depression, regulate anger or learn to value themselves again. You don't have to face it alone, there is hope.

We work with those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress-related disorders, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, or life transitions. These challenges may be causing significant distress and impacting various areas of your life, including work, relationships, and daily functioning. We provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. We provide compassionate and evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Allowing you to feel seen, heard, and supported on your journey to mental and emotional wellness.

There comes a time when we need help coping with many of life’s challenges. This journey towards healing and self-discovery can be overwhelming without the help and support of a certified professional. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with change, ultimately guiding you to “be your better self.”
