About Us
Hello! Practicing mental health in the Chippewa Valley for over 20 years, I think you will find that my experience as a therapist and educator integrate well into our sessions. I tend to have an eclectic approach and pride myself on meeting my client's, ages 14 and up, right where they are. I have been told that I am down to earth and kind of goofy which lends to my ability to connect to those I have the honor of working with. My time away from the office is spent with family, having new adventures through traveling, and enjoying the quiet northwoods of Wisconsin.

Nice to meet you! For 10+ years, I have been working with people of all ages and abilities in the mental health and social services fields. I especially enjoy working with those in later adolescence, adults with disabilities, and aging adults. I love animals, traveling, and spending time with my family. I have been described as authentic, funny, down-to-earth, and empathetic.

Hi there! I believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to express themselves. My goal as a counselor is to work collaboratively with clients to build on their inner strengths and create meaningful change. I'm passionate about helping teens and young adults navigate areas of life such as anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. I aim to support you in the self-awareness journey, and by sharing your story with me, we can discover the insight that will help you live more authentically.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy cruising and traveling the world. I also love spending time outdoors and being around animals!

I believe counseling provides a unique opportunity for individuals to enter a safe, supportive environment where they can feel understood and encouraged. I help clients, ages 13+, identify how their past influences their present and work to empower them to make authentic choices to meet their goals. My purpose is to build trust, understanding, and mutual learning with my clients. In my free time, I enjoy reading, making good espresso, spending time with friends, and brainstorming interior design plans.

You've read all the books, watched the YouTube videos and listened to the podcasts, yet nothing seems to change. Sometimes what is missing is how to implement change in your life, the time and space to speak honestly about the challenges that you face, and the nudge in
confidence to make the move.
Let us help.
