Therapists in Jefferson County, WI
You’re juggling meltdowns, meals, and meetings—and somehow still expected to hold it all together. Maybe you’re holding space for your children while quietly grieving the loss of a partner or a version of life that didn’t unfold as planned. Some days, you manage to keep pace. Other days, it feels like you’re just surviving—especially when anxiety, depression, or past trauma sneaks in like an unwelcome houseguest. And now, you're parenting in the aftermath of loss—doing your best to co-parent with someone whose presence still carries pain. It’s layered and heavy, yet the world expects you to stay calm and endlessly giving.

I'm an eccentric, nerdy, socially awkward member of the LGBTQIA+ community in northern Wisconsin, who became a therapist to help people in the same way that other therapists helped me in life. Therapy can seem intimidating, but it is just a way to connect with another human who can help validate, explore perspectives, listen without judgment, and provide much-needed support as you traverse the ups and downs of life. Therapists just have a few extra tools in their pocket to help along the way.

I am passionate about using EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to assist clients struggling with performance blocks, PTSD, complex trauma, complicated grief, pet grief, sexual abuse, adjustment, anger issues, relationship trauma, medical trauma, creative flow and narcissistic abuse. EMDR Intensives are available in 2, 3 or 4 hour increments. Shadow work can be incredibly effective when seeking assistance with subconscious blocks.
