Psychotherapy

Seeking Individual or Family Therapy? You’re in the Right Place.

Welcome — I’m Glad You’re Here.

I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families on their mental health journey. I believe that we all have the capacity to heal, grow, and find strength through life’s challenges. In a safe and compassionate space, I work collaboratively with clients to explore their experiences, build resilience, and develop meaningful tools for self-understanding.

Together, we move toward greater clarity, emotional relief, and lasting well-being.

A Therapist Rooted in Compassion and Experience

With nearly 12 years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the honor of working with some of the most underserved and vulnerable communities.

My early work as an in-home family therapist focused on preserving families—supporting reunification and preventing out-of-home placements. This experience shaped my strong commitment to family-centered, trauma-informed care.

Later, I had the privilege of launching the first school-based mental health program within a Wisconsin public school district, where I provided therapy directly to students in their learning environments. That experience showed me the power of a wraparound approach, bringing together families, educators, and providers to support the whole child.

Every step of my journey has reinforced a belief I hold deeply: healing happens through connection, compassion, and access to the right support. I’m here to walk alongside you and your family as you find your path toward growth and wellness.

Therapy with Children & Families

When working with youth, I strive to create an environment that is creative, mindful, nurturing, and patient. I work closely with both children and caregivers, always through an attachment-based lens—believing that relationships are the foundation of healing.

In 2022, I completed training in EMDR therapy and am a Certified EMDRIA Therapist. I specialize in play-based EMDR approaches that are gentle, developmentally appropriate, and effective for younger clients.

Through modalities like Play Based Therapy, Filial Based Therapy and Thera-Based Therapy, I help families create a natural, supportive foundation of emotional safety and growth—right in their everyday lives.
