Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in stress, or unsure about your next steps, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point where they want things to feel different but aren’t quite sure how to get there. You might feel mentally exhausted, disconnected, or like you’re carrying more than you can manage on your own. I’m a licensed therapist in Mississippi and Wisconsin with over 11 years of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I work with individuals who are ready to feel more grounded, clear, and in control, even if they’re not sure where to begin.

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


If you're stuck in a career that doesn't fit, navigating a major life change, or trying to move

forward when a disability or health challenge has made the path less clear, I get it. I've spent

over a decade helping people work through exactly that. I work with adolescents and adults who

are dealing with career uncertainty, employment barriers, life transitions, and the anxiety and

depression that often come with feeling stuck. My background includes working directly with

individuals with diverse abilities and needs, and I've partnered with schools, employers, and

community organizations, so I understand the systems you're navigating, not just the feelings.

Therapist

I am so happy you are here! I am dually licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC) and have been practicing as a therapist since 2021. Clients often come to me when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they want to change but haven’t been able to shift on their own. My role is to help you develop a deeper understanding of your inner self so you can better recognize patterns, emotions, and needs that may be driving your thoughts and behaviors. From that place of awareness, we focus on self-growth and healing by building insight, emotional regulation skills, and healthier ways of coping.
