Welcome. I am a dedicated mental health professional with extensive experience supporting both children and adults. I primarily work with individuals struggling with sadness, guilt, loss, loneliness, panic, overthinking, shame, ruminating thoughts, family issues, trauma, and worry. Having worked as a Grief Counselor in my previous role, I helped individuals navigate life while adjusting to their grief by sitting with people as they share their deepest thoughts and emotions. I offer an inclusive space where clients can feel safe, respected, and seen.
I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique story. I work with people across all stages of life who are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My goal is to help you rebuild safety, rediscover connection, and move toward a more grounded, authentic sense of self. Alongside traditional therapy, I also offer Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which can provide a meaningful, body-centered way to explore healing and self-awareness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Madison
Finding the right OCD therapist in Madison starts with looking for a provider trained in evidence-based approaches. Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is one approach some providers use to support people experiencing obsessive-compulsive disorder. Providers with specific training may offer structured support for people dealing with intrusive thoughts and compulsions. Some people also benefit from working with a psychiatrist for medication management alongside therapy.
Madison is home to a range of mental health providers, from those practicing near the UW campus and downtown to providers in Middleton, Fitchburg, and Sun Prairie. When narrowing your search, consider what matters most — whether that's a provider who has experience with specific OCD subtypes, someone who offers virtual sessions, or a therapist whose schedule fits yours. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they're a good match before booking.
