Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Eau Claire, WI


The therapeutic process is one of endless discovery and self-empowerment. Seeking out help is a valiant first step in this personal journey to befriend yourself. Befriending yourself greatly opens the internal space to invite others in so that we might have fuller, richer, and more wholesome relationships with those we love and those we’ve yet to meet. If you seek to reconnect, or connect more deeply, with your inherent goodness, then please reach out. I am deeply excited by the prospect of being able to share this experience with you.

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of balance in your life or relationships? Maybe anxiety, depression, stress, or the demands of daily life have started to feel heavier than they once did. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, or emotional exhaustion, therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

My passion is helping people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. I take a holistic, compassionate approach to therapy while drawing from evidence-based practices tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I believe progress is not one-size-fits-all, and I work to create a therapeutic experience that is thoughtful, flexible, and responsive to the individual sitting in front of me.

I enjoy working with adults, couples, families, children, and adolescents across a range of concerns. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, respected, and empowered to better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and build the tools needed to navigate life more effectively.
