Life can be difficult, and I enjoy working with individuals to help them heal and enjoy all the good things that life has to offer. I specialize in treating trauma and am trained in Brainspotting and EMDR. I also treat attachment issues, dissociation, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, anger management and grief.

  

I will provide you with a safe place and hold space for you as we walk through this difficult, yet rewarding journey together.

I specialize in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and the lasting effects of stressful or overwhelming life experiences.  I welcome adults from all walks of life who are navigating everyday stress, difficult relationships, life transitions, or painful past experiences. I have a special connection to first responders, law enforcement, military personnel, and their families. As the wife of a retired Sheriff’s Deputy, I understand the unique stress, pressures, and emotional challenges that can come with serving others. 

​

I am trained in Brainspotting and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), evidence-based approaches that can help individuals process trauma, reduce emotional distress, and work toward lasting healing. These approaches can be especially helpful for people who find it difficult to put painful experiences into words or who feel traditional talk therapy has not fully addressed their concerns. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood, work through what is holding you back, and develop a greater sense of peace and control in your life.

​

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, work-related stress, or the impact of past trauma, you do not have to navigate it alone. I will work with you to find an approach that fits your needs and helps you move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being.

I take a holistic, strengths-based approach that honors the uniqueness of each person and their lived experiences. I prioritize providing neurodiverse-affirming care and strive to create a safe, inclusive space where individuals feel seen, respected, and supported for who they are.

​

I work with children (age 5+), adolescents, and adults, supporting them through a wide range of concerns including anxiety, autism, trauma and post-traumatic stress, depression, women’s issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, and stress management. I also have a special interest in working with parents of dependents with special health care needs.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and flexible. I draw from evidenced-based modalities such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapies, and Brainspotting, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs and goals of my clients.

​

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, and my Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I’ve had the privilege of working with neurodiverse individuals of all ages, as well as with refugee populations, which has deepened my appreciation for the diverse ways people experience the world and build resilience.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, gardening, and caring for our pets. These personal joys help keep me grounded and reinforce the importance of balance, connection, and self-compassion – values I strive to bring into the therapeutic space.
