I provide a calm and supportive environment for clients to be heard, validated and understood. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, having relationship difficulties, or want to improve your mindset, I can help. Together we'll find threads of hope and resilience. I use a positive, collaborative and strength-based approach to therapy. Through treatment, clients can find clarity and peace while creating more organization and balance in their life. I have 18 years of clinical experience, mostly in outpatient mental health clinics. I have also worked in correctional facilities and psychiatric hospitals. My specialties include misophonia, anxiety, adjustment, stress management and relationships. Clients can learn a variety of coping and communication skills to reduce symptoms and improve relationships. I provide both short-term solution-focused therapy and longer more in-depth therapy. We'll figure out together what best fits your needs. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology in 1996 from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and my doctorate degree in clinical psychology in 2005 from the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology. I have been a licensed clinical psychologist since 2009.

Hello! I am a Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience working in the State of Wisconsin with both Individuals and Couples. During my career, I have over 10 years experience working with individuals experiencing grief, loss, and end of life concerns. My specialties also include; relationship/family issues, anger management, depression/anxiety issues, and life coaching personal development. I also have experience working with LGTBQ+ clients, as well as First Responder/Law Enforcement groups. My counseling style is person centered; focused on inclusivity, and compassion. My goal is to help you identify your specific goals and then use a treatment plan to help meet your unique and specific needs. I am professionally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques. I believe, however, that no one style or technique is good for every person or situation, so I tailor my approach to what works best for you. Our work together is a "judgment free" zone. Regardless of your Age, Gender, Sexual Orientation, or Race, I believe strongly in treating everyone with dignity and respect. Talking to someone you don't know about personal issues can be very intimidating. It takes courage to seek help to achieve a happier and more fulfilling life. If you are ready to start that journey towards achieving your goals, then I will be there each step of the way to help guide you toward them. I look forward to working with you!

My focus is primarily couples counseling and men seeking career and/or dating counseling. About my approach: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! These words inspire us to look forward to a bright future, something we can count on as we move through life. But what happens when the life we hoped for slips out of our grasp? When our careers stall, or when our relationships go sour, or when we can’t shake off the effects of painful experiences? Since earning my MS in Clinical Counseling from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, I have learned that each of us is full of talent and potential. We all have something important to contribute to the world. All we need is a way to discover the unique qualities, drives and passions that make us who we are. My approach to treatment is based on Solution Focused Brief Counseling. My goal is to help people find the strong, hopeful and capable parts of their personality and strengthen them in every day life. We do this first by exploring your key relationships and how they have impacted your life over time. Once we uncover your (not so hidden) strengths, we work together to improve your well being. My experience includes working with singles and couples, as well as men seeking career transition counseling. I have worked with people from all faiths, gender identity and sexual orientation. How I can be of service: If you looking for help: (1) building a better future, particularly in your career (2) overcoming relationship challenges, or (3) coming to terms with painful memories so you can move on, I look forward to working with you to help you meet those goals.

Hello there! :) I believe people deserve to be restored, renewed, and that life should be treasured. The ability of a healer to offer hope, strength, and guidance facing life's unexpected jolts can make all the difference; but life does throw us setbacks, shattering us to our very core. Therefore, I am committed to be there to listen, to support, and to be a guiding light through the challenges that many of us are trying to deal with alone. You deserve love, attention, and time so that you can heal and live a beautiful, happy, life. You deserve that and so much more! I help many clients including adolescents, couples, adults, and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves, strengthen their relationships, to become their most radiant selves as they work through their trauma, depression, anxiety, and stressors. I love to create a nice soothing safe place for my clients. My ultimate goal is for you to just feel my hope for you, my heart, peace, kindness, and my compassion; knowing that you are a beautiful and important human being in this life. In working with me,I want you to feel a sense of calm and peace so that you can feel just like you are at the edge of a tranquil lake with the warm beautiful sun rays beating on you. You and I will be a team in your care because I believe even though my knowledge can assist, you also know yourself the best.
