I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Wisconsin with over 20 years of experience providing counseling and psychotherapy services in a variety of settings including residential treatment, outpatient psychotherapy, and vocational rehabilitation. I hold certifications in treatment for trauma, anxiety, and telehealth. Everyone has the ability to heal from past injuries, solve psychological problems, and improve their lives so that they are happier, more confident, and better able to create the life you want for yourself!
Once we've identified your goals, I use a variety of techniques from different schools of psychotherapy to help you reach them, helping you learn how to understand the relationship between thinking and feelings, as well as the impact of your past experiences and current relationships to help you become who you want to be.
I am happy to provide a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit to work together! You are the expert on your life; this is your journey. My role is to be a guide, help you find perspective on yourself and your experience, be a source of support and information, help you learn how to make the changes you wish to see in yourself and your life.

I work extensively with clients struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma, and the impact of those on their lives. We will look at where those issues came from and how they are affecting you currently. We will collaboratively create a plan to address them to increase your sense of agency. Most clients experience relief in the first 4 - 8 weeks, with sustained improvement thereafter.
