Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin with 20+ years in community mental health and military environments. These populations give me experience in a broad spectrum of needs and levels of care. I pride myself in being able to meet each person's unique needs through differing evidence based practices such as: EMDR, DBT, CBT, IFS, Motivational Interviewing, and more.

My approach to therapy

My style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and educational. I will tailor my support to fit your unique life so that you can leave therapy feeling not only better, but also confident that you can meet your life goals. You will see that I am understanding and can bring to the table real life experiences both personally and professionally.

What you can expect from me

Our time together will start off by building a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, respectful, and collaborative; we are a team. I want to know who you are as a person, what brings you to seek support, what you hope to get out of our time, and answer any questions or concerns you may have. You will be given space to share openly without fear of judgement and at your own pace. Please do not feel pressured to say anything you're not ready discuss. Information you share will be used to help guide me to pick which therapeutic approaches to offer and together we can make a plan on how to move forward.
