Life is messy, chaotic, and sometimes includes profanities. But, on the flip side, you don't have to navigate it alone. If you're feeling burnt out, numb, avoiding traumatic thoughts or survivors guilt, or even struggling with communication in your relationship, let me help be a safe place for you to explore that. My therapy style is humor-driven, person-centered, compassion-based, and non-judgmental to help you achieve your goals, whatever those may look like.

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.

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 help clients build motivation and gain understanding of their use patterns and how their use affects their quality of life and others in their lives. I take a firm and transdiagnostic approach, focusing on a unified protocol and motivational interviewing. While abstinence is recommended, I believe in harm reduction with an ultimate goal of long-term recovery. I strive to help clients recognize their needs and find strategies to address them in a healthier, less destructive way.

As an integrative practitioner, I meet clients where they are at in life. Healing and wellness is part of our life journey, and reaching out to others is often a necessary part of the healing process. Life hands us tough challenges, these are not meant to break us, rather to help us define who we are and better understand what our journey means. Often times we feel like we are broken, or simply don't fit in; these are opportunities to intentionally explore whether we are living our authentic life, or trying to follow someone else's path.

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!

Most recently, I worked as a school social worker, helping elementary-aged children navigate challenges and build resilience. Coming from a military family myself, I also had the privilege of serving as a civilian mental health provider for seven years with the Wisconsin Air National Guard. This experience has deepened my understanding of the unique challenges faced by military members and their families.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
