My approach is rooted in authenticity and curiosity. My clinical specialty is the intersection of big T and little t trauma and its varied presentations — the ways it surfaces in the body and in relationship patterns. I enjoy working with people who are ready to break old patterns and set healthy boundaries, with themselves and in their relationships that help them to thrive individually and in community.

Therapy is a safe space to help you foster a deeper connection to your authentic self. Many experiences in life can leave us feeling disoriented – grief, trauma, the stressors of everyday life. When we feel disconnected, we can experience anxiety, depression, and loss of connection in our relationships. It can become difficult to feel present in our daily lives. I want to help you reclaim capacity for a centered, vibrant life. When we reconnect to our authentic, embodied selves, we gain clarity, deeper satisfaction in relationships, and learn to be present in both the storm and the stillness.

I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential. I strongly believe in the human ability to heal, grow, and thrive, especially when provided with the right opportunities and resources. Clients typically come to me when they are feeling stuck, out of balance, and/or disconnected from their authentic self. Together, I work with clients to identify underlying sources of suffering, uncover hidden strengths, enhance internal resources, and release emotional burdens that have been impacting quality of life and preventing personal growth.

Are you feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, grief, postpartum changes, or the stress of life transitions? Do you sometimes question your worth, struggle in relationships, or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? It’s natural to long for relief and to want to feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful about the future. You don’t need perfection—you need perspective, healing, and tools to bring balance and resilience into your life. If this sounds familiar, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in the process.

I meet online and in person, and we’ll go at your pace.
You’ve been holding it all together for a long time, and it’s exhausting. Maybe you feel scattered, anxious, or like you’re never quite enough—no matter how hard you try. A part of you longs for peace, for clarity, for something deeper than just getting through the day. You want to feel more connected—to yourself, to the people you care about, and to something that feels meaningful. You may have tried other approaches, but deep down you know there's more to you than the stress, the patterns, or the pain. You're ready to finally understand what's going on inside—and find some real relief.

Offering in-person therapy in Verona, WI, with a cozy chair, calming view and plants, or virtual sessions statewide.
Do you feel guilty for how much rest you need. You are doing three jobs at once: mourning, masking, and managing feelings. Whether you are navigating the sensory overwhelm of neurodivergence, the heaviness of grief, or an identity shift that has left you feeling untethered, you deserve more than just a place to vent. You want to stop white-knuckling your way through the day and finally feel settled in your own skin. We’ll move past the old patterns and survival habits so you can be more present, and self-led. Therapy is soul maintenance, the act of turning off the performance of being okay, a total system recalibration.

You have made a courageous step towards achieving mental and emotional stability. The journey towards psychological wellness is a process, a maintenance.

All parts of our being are inter-related from biological, psychological and social perspectives. If one area is unbalanced, the others follow suit.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
