A little about us...

My goal as a therapist is to explore my client’s unique experiences and needs that are essential in creating a warm, inviting space where we can explore life’s challenges together. I aim to build a safe and open environment that honors your individuality while helping you navigate difficulties, reduce negative thinking patterns, and discover tools that truly work for you.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point and a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from the University of St. Thomas Graduate School of Professional Psychology. I have spent several years working in a child and adolescent day treatment center, supporting clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ASD, ADHD, and other behavioral challenges.

I focus my work around supporting my community and specialize in working with teens and adults. By utilizing evidence based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), as well as person-centered therapy, I always ensure to tailor my approach to meet your therapeutic goals.

I am committed to offering a welcoming and inclusive space for people of all identities, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and immigrant backgrounds.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, focusing on working with teens, adults, and couples. I work  with clients to create an authentic, nonjudgmental relationship in which they can explore the challenges and problems that come with being human. I am client-centered, believing individuals are the experts of their own lives, and utilize curiosity and empathy to build trust and lasting resilience.

I believe change does not come without effort and a degree of sacrifice. I view therapy as an intentional task geared towards rewriting patterns and changing behaviors in a way useful to and compatible with the client’s unique needs and values. I embrace a systemic understanding of our individual psychic lives, and view the fundamental influences of society, culture, and community as the foundation of clients' unique experience. I draw on psychodynamic theories to explore subconscious relational patterns, and to build self-confidence and self-efficacy. I also integrate approaches such as CBT and ACT to tackle acute behavior-based problematic symptoms.

As a new therapist, I am constantly learning, and I value my zeal for the expansion of awareness of the various life forces that shape our lives. I hope to share this passion for our shared human condition as a conduit for growth throughout the lifespan.

As an integrative person-centered therapist, my approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and empowerment. Through personal reflection and strength-based techniques, I help clients achieve their goals and cope with life's challenges. 

I work with individual clients aged 18 and older. I'm passionate about working on issues related to anxiety, stress, life transitions, grief, and self-esteem.
