I specialize in helping women+ professionals who struggle with anxiety or depression, or who may be challenged by stress/burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or work and career concerns.
You’ve worked hard and invested a lot to get where you are, but something’s missing. From the outside it looks like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're anxious, exhausted, and overwhelmed. You worry that you've lost your drive. The goals you once thought mattered no longer motivate you. If you’re stressed out, burned out, or unhappy with the life you’re in, I’m here to help. I’m passionate about helping you tap into your wisdom and rediscover your deepest authenticity and joy.

I work with anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, attachment issues, low self-esteem, body image, career struggles, and more.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. In a world undergoing a lot of change, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, afraid, or disconnected. As a therapist, I support people in navigating that in-between space—balancing the demands of daily life and the stressors of a changing world while making room for what feels meaningful and true. Many of us are asking bigger questions right now: How do we live with purpose and joy during times of change? How do we find clarity, hope, and authenticity? How do we face anxiety, depression, panic, or the pull to escape—and still move toward healing, growth, and a deeper sense of self?

Is there a part of you that you don’t quite understand—something that feels like it’s holding you back or leading to painful, repeating patterns in your life? You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, feeling unfulfilled, or a sense of frustration about not being able to move forward despite your best efforts. Many people who come to therapy have tried everything they can think of to feel better. When things don’t change, it can feel discouraging or confusing. I believe these struggles often have roots in ways of thinking and relating to ourselves and others. These patterns can develop over time and we may be unaware of them.

Welcome! No two clients are alike, so neither is my approach to your care! Feelings of anxiety, worry, sadness or anger? Are you having difficulty setting and attaining goals? Finding and keeping meaningful relationships? Trying to cope and regain balance after a painful loss or trauma? If you can say yes to any of these, you may also be feeling alone with your challenges. Understand, you are not, many share these feelings and what these challenges all have in common; they are isolating and negatively life altering. For those who have struggled, a therapist can be an essential guide towards a happier, healthier life journey.

In trying times, feeling overwhelmed is a normal human response. Many people, and those who care about them, can feel pulled in multiple directions while trying to stay grounded and connected to themselves, their values, their responsibilities, and their relationships. When ecosystems of care are stretched, fatigued, or limited, pressure can build and begin to impact well-being and a sense of direction about what comes next. As a therapist, I offer a steady, compassionate space to pause with curiosity, make sense of what’s unfolding, and move beyond survival mode toward renewed understanding, reconnection, growth, and purpose.

Life is full of changes and uncertainty, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when things don’t go the way we expected. You may find yourself feeling stuck—especially when the harder you try to fix things, the more frustrated or helpless it feels. You are not alone, and certainly not broken. Often, these experiences reflect patterns shaped by our past experiences, relationships, and the expectations we’ve carried over times. In therapy, we'll work together to understand and gradually shift these patterns, reconnecting with your inner strengths and rebuilding confidence in navigating life’s ups and downs.

I specialize in therapy for high-capacity women navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, and trauma across Wisconsin. Many of the women I work with are managing anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, ADHD, or a major life transition. They are often the reliable one—at work, at home, in relationships—but privately exhausted. They want relief from constant mental noise, tools that actually help, and space to untangle what feels heavy without judgment. Their goals aren’t perfection—but steadiness, clarity, and the ability to feel like themselves again.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.

Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
