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.
