All About Therapy
Professional and Relatable Therapist
Are you looking for an experienced and relatable therapist? I am a naturally curious person and fascinated by the complexities of what it is to be human and the human experience. Much of my work centers around story telling - we all have a narrative we're trying to make sense of. Exploring personal stories, reflecting on them, changing these narratives, and sharing them might make us vulnerable, but also helps us heal and grow. I approach my sessions like a conversation and blend together reflection, education, skill building with a healthy dose of humor.
It feels natural and right for me to be in the position of a caring, accepting, and compassionate provider and it is a privilege to be apart of a client's path to growth and healing. I believe therapy provides possibilities for reflection, acceptance and discovery. Creating a safe, therapeutic environment and fostering a collaborative relationship can give way to endless opportunities to learn and heal.
I have an eclectic work history in the mental health field and have worked in both administrative and clinical roles since 2011. I am currently providing individual therapy services via telehealth. I work with adults and have experience treating a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, life transitions, brain-gut health issues, women's issues, burnout, mood or emotional problems, trauma, substance abuse, grief and loss and existential crisis. Whether you’re looking for a bit of counseling, or need professional assistance to make meaningful changes - your wellbeing is my number one priority. I believe in personalizing care to meet individual needs and strive to create a safe and collaborative experience that will give way to growth and acceptance.
I completed my graduate training at Southern New Hampshire University in 2017. I received a Master's of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and hold a license as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Wisconsin. I maintain regular clinical supervision and professional development to enhance the quality of my work.

I have the techniques and professional experience to help you create the change that is most meaningful to you.
I am currently providing teletherapy services to adults. I have experience treating a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, burnout, mood or emotional problems, trauma, substance abuse, grief and loss and existential crisis. I offer professional therapy that is relatable, modern and holistic. I want my sessions to feel like a conversation and to create a collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to create meaningful change. In my role, I will listen actively and without judgement, validate, empathize and provide education and practical skills as needed.
I utilize evidence-based practices to personalize care to meet individual needs. While I primarily draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness. I also incorporate Somatic Therapy, Integrative Mental Health Practices, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I like to provide additional resources for clients to engage with outside of the therapy session as well. Whether its books, articles, podcasts, or handouts, I want to encourage continued learning and growth.
My areas of specialty are women-focused therapy, brain-gut health and life transitions.
I welcome and affirm members of the LGBTQI community, as well as any other groups who struggle for support, acceptance, and recognition.
