Great to meet you!

Accepting Same Week Clients! With nearly 20 years of experience, I’ve worked across California, Wisconsin, and Minnesota with diverse populations. As a Nationally Certified and Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in helping clients make active, lasting changes to reduce mental health symptoms. My results-driven approach offers tailored strategies for real progress. I work best with clients committed to engaging in their growth. If you're ready to improve your mental health, I'm here to help.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered, combining cognitive-behavioral techniques with solution-focused, direct, and compassionate styles. I help clients identify what they can control, while providing practical coping strategies for managing stress and emotional challenges. Using appropriate self-disclosure, I build a collaborative, connection, that fosters trust. My goal is to empower clients to develop healthier thinking patterns and effective skills for lasting emotional resilience.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to gain practical therapy tools and coping strategies to alleviate mental health symptoms in a supportive, collaborative environment. By focusing on what they can control, clients are empowered to make meaningful changes and develop lasting skills for managing stress and improving mental well-being. Tailored sessions ensure real and tangible progress toward specific treatment goals. Clients will see measurable results as they work through achieving meaningful, lasting changes.
