Greetings! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Wisconsin and also credentialed as a Licensed Independent Social Worker through the State of Minnesota. With over eleven years of practice since receiving my Master's in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, I've developed a deep understanding and expertise in supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement, and caregiver burden. My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored, incorporating ACT Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Positive Psychology to address the unique needs and challenges of each client. Beyond these, I hold certifications in Laughter Therapy and Dementia Care, and I've been trained in the whole health approach to wellness. This diverse set of skills and knowledge allows me to offer a comprehensive and holistic approach to mental health and well-being, aiming to not only alleviate distress but also enhance overall life satisfaction and resilience. Whether you're facing mental health challenges, navigating the complexities of caregiving, or simply seeking to improve your overall wellness, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you'll be invited to share about yourself at your own pace. We'll begin with brief introductions to establish a comfortable rapport. Following this, we'll delve into the specific challenges you're currently facing. This initial conversation is crucial for me to understand your unique experiences and needs. Based on what we discuss, I'll start crafting a tailored plan that aligns with your goals and preferences. This plan will guide our follow-up sessions, ensuring that each step we take is purposefully aimed at addressing your concerns and fostering your growth. This first session is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have about the therapy process. Together, we'll lay the groundwork for a journey towards improved well-being.
