As a licensed therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals reclaim their lives from addiction and other mental health challenges. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities, to create a treatment plan specific for each client's unique needs. I specialize in working with complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addictions. I am dedicated to walking alongside my clients on their journey towards recovery and self-acceptance. I am licensed in both Wisconsin and Florida.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy, as well as ask me questions and share concerns.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in evidence-based treatments, such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, and believe in a collaborative and nonjudgmental approach to therapy.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am dedicated to creating a safe and affirming space for my clients to explore their emotions and experiences. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding and I am committed to helping my clients heal from past traumas and reclaim their lives. Together we will work towards building resilience and finding inner strength to overcome any challenges you may be facing.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in therapeutic relationships for over a decade. Throughout this time, I have received comprehensive training and gained extensive experience with this modality. CBT is an incredibly effective tool, as it allows individuals to identify and challenge negative cognitions, ultimately transforming them into more positive, adaptive thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT skills training to reinforce the mindset shifts we aim to achieve. I provide education and create opportunities for clients to practice key skills, including interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. When appropriate and with client willingness, I assign homework to help solidify these skills and encourage lasting change.
EMDR
EMDR therapy is a specialized intervention used to treat chronic trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction. I typically recommend this approach after working with a client for a few sessions and assessing that they would benefit from it.
Gender-affirming therapy
Gender-affirming therapy is a treatment approach I deeply value, as it helps clients process and reduce feelings of gender dysphoria. I take pride in empowering my clients by creating a supportive environment, while also connecting them to gender-affirming resources within their communities.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I incorporate mindfulness techniques to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment or stress. Through practices such as meditation, relaxation, and focused awareness exercises, I guide clients in cultivating a greater connection to the present moment. This mindfulness approach promotes emotional clarity, reduces anxiety, and fosters a sense of calm and stability.
