Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Wisconsin with a background in substance use and recovery work. I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating addiction, trauma, and complex life circumstances, including housing instability and major transitions.

I believe therapy should be a place where you don’t have to carry everything on your own. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where we can work together toward stability, clarity, and lasting change.
