Clients deserve to have a safe space to discover options for their healing journey. Clients, regardless of needs and goals all have one thing in common; grief. The idea of losing someone, something, or a unexpected change in life brings upon the grieving process. It is not expected that everyone suffers alone and in silence; this is only the goal of stigma. Bring all of the hurt, guilt, shame, desperation, and pain to the safe space of therapy and use it as a stepping stone on your own carved path to overall health and wellness in mind, body, and spirit.

Let's be real. Trauma is, well, traumatizing and can truly impact your everyday functions. I use the visual of trauma being paper crumpled into balls in a bucket. When you close your eyes and imagine that, how full is your bucket? Most say that its overflowing already, so one minor life change feels like overwhelming doom, because your buckets already full. I help those I see work through that bucket, processing each crumple of paper to fold neatly back into the bucket. Once the trauma has been worked through you have the space to deal with new situations as they come. I would love to help you work on your bucket!

I realize that we all are on our own journey and deserve to be treated as individuals with compassion, kindness, and understanding. It can be easy to lose our way, lose hope, and I feel passionate about helping others find peace, acceptance, and ultimately one's own strengths to navigate stressful situations. Depression, anxiety, changes of life, family/parenting, interpersonal relationships and so much more can make hope and a way through struggles overwhelming. I strive to help each individual find their inner strengths and strategies for overcoming those barriers that can feel insurmountable.

I’ve spent my career supporting people who have experienced trauma, mental health, and substance use issues. I have used a mix of traditional talk therapy, art and adventure therapies to assist in the healing process. I have been in practice since 2002 after completing my master's in social work at Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts. Prior to completing my master's I worked in the social work field, working as a case manager and substance use counselor, and volunteering at my local domestic abuse program answering the crisis hotline, facilitating community support groups, and assisting in the annual walk for women's safety.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel comfortable being your authentic self. Creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space is important to me because meaningful growth often begins with vulnerability. The more you allow yourself to openly share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, the more you can gain from the therapeutic process.

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.

To the outside world, you're seen as a pretty together person who's hard-working, accomplished and self-sufficient. When life get's tough, you buck up, soldier on, & "never let 'em see you bleed." You bottle up your pain and keep a tight lid on it. But, behind this exterior, you're actually hanging on by your fingertips. The stress on your shoulders is unbearably heavy & you're overwhelmed, stressed-out, and you feel like you're drowning under the pressure of it all. You're pain is silent, but your suffering is real and it's taking a toll on your health, productivity and your relationships with others.

Many of the individuals & couples I work with struggle to break free of self-defeating patterns - they feel stuck. I have specific expertise in working with people who have been impacted by distressing or traumatic life experiences. Trauma can contribute to a sense of disconnection from ourselves, others, and the world. This is an adaptive reaction to abnormal events. In time, you may realize that living life in ‘survival’ mode is no longer serving you. You may feel numb or empty, or feel ‘too emotional' or reactionary. Connecting with others may feel overwhelming. You are deserving of growth, connection, and healing.

Do you feel like you're fighting a war on multiple fronts? Maybe you're struggling to keep your head above water with depression, only to find yourself reaching for a drink or doom-scrolling to numb the pain. Or perhaps your anxiety is so loud that it’s starting to wear down your relationships and your physical health. When you’re dealing with more than one 'thing,' it can feel like you’re just playing Whac-A-Mole with your symptoms.

Allowing oneself to experience all that is life, strengthens our cloak of resilience. Being an overthinker myself, I know this part within and its intention to keep you safe. Deeper healing doesn't come from knowing what happened, it comes from feeling what it meant. Being fully known and accepted as you are and where you are through self-love is the flex. The path may not be a path when the way is within. Slowing down and listening with curiosity invites clarity on what is needed. Where should we place our energy?
"Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed." -Thich Hanh

I practice therapy as a space for liberation. Rooted in trauma-informed care, my work explores how the systems of colonialism, racism, and carcerality shape our lives and relationships. By examining how these forces show up internally and externally, we work together to reclaim agency and foster change. Therapy isn’t neutral, and I hold space for those harmed by our current system—especially clients facing familial or institutional betrayal, internalized oppression, and systemic barriers.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
