We are all here to evolve into more conscious, responsible individuals. Mental health issues arise when we are out of alignment with what is happening within and around us. As we embrace and adjust to our life situations–working through our disappointments and broken expectations–our equilibrium is restored. We feel stronger and more capable to accept what is in front of us to do, with new joy and understanding. Blending psychology with spirituality, I offer tools for self-discovery, forgiveness, meditation, healthy transitions, healed relationships, and positive parenting. You will learn how to uncover hidden strengths and be on track with your life purpose.

I am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist and Consultant, trained in Phases 1, 2, 3, 4, and Master Class; plus several specialty trainings for various Brainspotting techniques.

I strive to help my clients find their inner therapist using a strength-based and person-centered approach, allowing for individuals’ own self-awareness and insights to support their capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. I utilize evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address a wide range of challenges including anxiety, chronic pain, depression, grief, mood disorders, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, substance use, relationship challenges, divorce, and life transitions including the transition to parenthood. I also use a combination of innovative therapeutic techniques like EMDR, Brainspotting, parts work, and somatically informed body-based interventions to help clients process their traumas, overcome Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and experience profound healing and renewed purpose.

It was during my own therapeutic journey of processing and healing that I discovered my passion for social work and therapy. I took my first step towards becoming a therapist by graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Psychology. I completed my Master of Social Work degree with a major in Mental and Behavioral Health and a minor in Trauma Informed Care at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.

As a social worker, I have worked with individuals with special needs, individuals experiencing homelessness, convicts, BIPOC, LGBTQIA, immigrant, high risk, and military/para-military populations. Before becoming a therapist, I served in the U.S. Army, worked as a sales consultant, constructed houses, worked as an auto mechanic, worked as a factory worker, and as a general laborer. I integrate these varied experiences into my practice when working with clients who are facing difficulties with their vocational and professional identities, and I credit these jobs for providing me with a diverse perspective. My life experiences have allowed me to cultivate an unbiased and non-judgmental space for my clients to process and grow. I am honored that my clients welcome me into their lives during their most difficult times and allow me to be a part of their journey toward growth and regulation.
