I believe in the importance of building the therapeutic relationship in order to provide you with a healthy environment that is conducive to inspiring change. I have a warm and creative approach in counseling that utilizes empathy, humor, and your own strengths and personal preferences. It is important to me that I address the mind, body, and spirit, allowing the therapeutic process of healing to begin. With adult clients, my areas of expertise include trauma-informed recovery, interpersonal relationships, personality disorders, adult pathology, grief, mood and anxiety disorders, and family / parenting concerns. I also specialize in working with children and adolescents using creative modalities and play therapy. I am a certified clinical trauma professional in the state of Wisconsin. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Wisconsin, with a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology and advanced degrees in Clinical Psychology and Art Therapy Counseling. I am currently pursuing licensure requirements as a clinical psychologist in the state of Wisconsin.
