What would it feel like to be heard, to know that you are valued and cared about and to believe that there is real hope for your future? Are you struggling, anxious, grieving, overwhelmed? You are not alone. Life is really hard right now. You deserve self care and support. Difficult and painful experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. As both a Wisconsin and Florida licensed mental health counselor (LPC, LMHC), I offer you a safe place to talk about and explore all those concerns.

Are you feeling stuck—trapped in cycles of self-blame or convinced that bad luck defines your life? Do your relationships feel disconnected or fall short of the depth and quality you truly desire? As a specialist in EMDR therapy, I help individuals heal from the root causes of emotional pain, including depression, anxiety, addiction, and complex PTSD. EMDR can shift the narrative you've been living, helping you build empowered self-esteem and develop more adaptive, resilient thought patterns—replacing racing, draining thoughts with clarity and calm. Through grounding and coping skills, you’ll gain the authentic pause needed to reclaim your life. It’s time to bloom. You deserve to thrive.

Are you struggling emotionally, mentally, or with life in general? If you're reading this, you must be ready for a change. The first step in making a change is acknowledging a need for one. It takes courage and strength to seek out a therapist, and I will help you feel comfortable and supported in whatever it is you want to work on. I can help you change things in a positive direction and help you be a happier and more satisfied person. I can help you cope with the ups and downs of life and handle them in positive and productive ways. I collaborate with my clients to find the best treatment for them. I offer individual counseling for teenagers and adults dealing with difficult life issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, as well as Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD. I help empower my clients to change their negative thinking patterns to a more positive, productive way of thinking to help them feel stronger, safer, happier and more confident. I offer a warm, safe, environment free of judgement and completely confidential. Please let me utilize my counseling techniques and compassionate outlook to help you organize your thoughts, find and utilize your strengths, and get you to where you want to be in your life. Getting another perspective can make all the difference.

Are you looking for a judgement-free space to discuss your issues? It is not easy to sit in front of a stranger and discuss your personal issues. I take pride in being a therapist that is open to understanding my client's point of view. My goal as a therapist is to facilitate a safe space for children, young adults and people of color to share their adverse experiences. If you are interested in therapy but not sure where to start, schedule a free consultation to discuss the next steps.
