I specialize in working with individuals, including adolescents and adults, and I also have experience supporting couples and families. I take a collaborative, eclectic approach to therapy and bring warmth, curiosity, and a sense of humor into the therapeutic relationship. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel understood, supported, and actively involved in their own growth.

Therapy can be a steady place to develop a deeper relationship with your emotions, somatic experience, and the patterns that shape how you see yourself and others. I support adults who feel chronically overwhelmed, disconnected, or alone in relationships, including those healing from complex trauma. Many of those I work with feel burnt out from masking, exploring identity, navigating life transitions, desiring change, or grieving meaningful losses. I strive to honor the complexity of intersectional identities, as my approach recognizes that many clients also carry the emotional weight of systemic injustices and existential anxiety.

Telehealth only currently. Are you worried your problems are too big or too small? You have nothing to fear. Some of my clients have experienced the worst life has to offer, and need help to heal deep trauma wounds, others simply desire to rebuild relationships, parent better, or reduce anxiety, depression, or substance use. My clients come to therapy to address issues in their past that impact their relationships, their work, self image, or have led to unhealthy habits. I enjoy helping people to better understand themselves, set boundaries, realize goals, and improve their health and wellness through integrative approaches.

I bring over a decade of professional expertise to therapy along with my own life experiences, empathy, understanding and hopefully a little humor along the way. When working with you (licensed in WI, MN, IL) I recognize the many roles you take on in day to day life. By using a client-centered approach, I will support you in your journey of emotional growth and well-being. More than anything, while my license is as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I aim to live my own life as authentically and intentionally as I can as a parent, family member and friend. I strive to bring that same authenticity and intentionality to our sessions.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion and respect. I believe that you are the best expert on yourself, and that my role as a therapist is to create a safe and open space to deepen your awareness of yourself and to explore if, when, and how it might be the right time to make changes in your life.

Through the process of psychotherapy, I work together with my clients to help them: develop a better understanding of their histories, triggers and patterns in order to get unstuck and create new endings to old stories; build coping skills and capacity for resiliency in order to face stressors and fears that are blocking growth; learn to live authentically in order to create a life congruent with what matters to them. I feel passionate about my work. I always hope to help people realize their worth and competency so they can feel empowered to take charge of their lives and live with more purpose and fulfillment.

What once kept you safe may now be keeping you small. Old habits of mind can feel like well-worn paths we can’t help but follow, even when we long for something different.
I work with adults seeking relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma, often during life transitions that call their sense of self into question and invite deeper self-understanding. Many of my clients have tried other approaches and want something that goes further. My work is relational and depth-oriented, and includes ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) within a clinic with access to progressive psychiatry when helpful.

Hello. Thanks for visiting my page. I understand that looking for a therapist for yourself or someone you care for can be a process...
I consider the role of being someone's therapist an honor. And with that, I understand that feeling comfortable to be vulnerable can take time. I have found that often times people with trauma, unhelpful narratives, and other pain that has become engrained in their sense of self need safety and time; and I am here for it.
Most of my work has been supporting others who have experienced trauma, anxiety, body image/eating disorders, and are navigating the juvenile justice system.

Are you feeling disconnected in your relationships? Are you struggling with emotional intimacy, trust, communicating, or taking up space?
Relationships are at the heart of our well-being—but they can also be a source of confusion and pain. In my work, I help people reclaim their capacity to emotionally connect to themselves and others. Together, we'll explore relational dynamics, and how some challenging relational patterns may be rooted in past traumatic experiences. Through this process, we'll increase insight and begin to develop new ways of thinking and relating—ones that foster connection rather than conflict and distance.

We all deserve a supportive space to process challenges. I believe that through deep curiosity towards ourselves - our circumstances and our inner worlds - we can cultivate clarity and wellbeing. As a therapist I bring compassion, calm, persistence, and joy to support the growth and change you want to foster. I use a parts-based perspective: the belief that "symptoms" are parts that developed to protect you from challenging circumstances. By bringing awareness to your inner world, we can help these parts release their extreme roles, allowing you to lead your life with more calm.

Taking therapy outside into nature allows access to powerful resources to help you address your goals, increase emotional and physical well-being and promote healing and resilience.

My style is supportive, warm, playful and experiential. We can address attachment difficulties, emotional and behavioral regulation, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

I take an integrative, client-centered approach, drawing from Attachment-Based, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, and Strength-Based therapies.
Therapy That Feels Real, Grounded, and Centered on You.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a space that feels open, supportive, and safe enough for you to bring whatever’s weighing on you into the room. With me therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold—instead, it should feel human, warm, and non-judgmental.
I specialize in working with individuals who are ready to dig deep and do the work. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, struggling with addiction, or facing communication breakdowns, I can help untangle what's getting in the way of clarity.

I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions. I also enjoy supporting parents. After years of working directly with children and families, I’ve come to deeply value the essential role parents play in shaping emotional development, family dynamics, and lasting change. I work with parents- both individually and as part of a couple — who are navigating the complex, often overwhelming demands of parenting, relationships, and personal growth.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
