Hi! I graduated from UW-Stout with my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017. Prior to that, I worked in the mental health field for several years, in psychiatric hospital units and crisis homes. As a therapist, I have worked in all levels of care from residential treatment to private practice and have found that I work best when I am able to be creative and flexible. I enjoy working with all ages - individuals, couples and families.
My approach is deeply person-centered and intentionally tailored to you. I take time to truly understand your story, not just your symptoms, so that our work together is meaningful and aligned with your unique needs. Before jumping into treatment, I like to do a deep dive into your current situation and history, building a strong foundation of trust and insight. I really don't have one type of treatment that I use...I mix several theories and modalities together depending on what my client is working toward.
Clients can always expect to feel heard and supported. I rarely give advice. I will not ever be a therapist that tells my clients how they "should" be living. My goal is to help my clients gain a better understanding of themselves, insight into patterns and clarity about why they feel the way they do and what goals they would like to achieve.
