I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Lakeland University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. I work to create a safe, comfortable and accepting environment for my clients. I have previously worked in crisis intervention as well as group therapy settings and like to focus on providing positive support for my clients. I've been told I'm not the "typical" therapist type - I have tattoos and a pretty progressive viewpoint, and I also work really hard to be relatable to my clients. I'm married and have an 19 year old stepson. The rest of my family is made up of 3 rescue dogs, 3 adopted cats, and we recently reached what I call the "livestock level" of quarantine and got chickens and goats.

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

I'm pretty straightforward and honest - I try not to sugar coat things, that benefits no one, least of all you. I will challenge you and encourage you to work on your goals, but I will never work harder in therapy than you do. Therapy is something that you'll need to prioritize - because mental heath is the glue that holds everything together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and solution focused counseling. My counseling style is interactive, and I believe in treating people as individuals and not labeling them with their mental health issues. You are not your illness, it is only a small part of who you are. I believe in treating people with the same respect, sensitivity, and compassion as I would like to be treated.
