Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Therapist based in Minnesota & have a WI license also (only BCBS at this time). I own my own private practice in Minnesota and Wisconsin (telehealth only WI). I can see client in person in Minnesota, Farmington.
I received a MSW from Walden University, a psychology degree from Brandman University.
With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I have learned a lot about what works and doesn't work and am honored to help people on their journey in life. My goal is to provide a safe, relaxing space for clients to help them reach their goals. I love helping others and providing a safe, caring space and tools that work to help others as a therapist. I am also a wife and a mom. We are a blended family. I enjoy traveling, writing, art, family outings, cooking, camping, and reading. I've been through many life challenges, medical issues, divorce, learning and behavioral concerns with children and normal life events as we all do go through. I feel this helps me to relate to others. I try to have a warm, compassionate approach.

Frequently asked questions
Why filter by Wisconsin rather than a city
like Milwaukee?
When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Wisconsin from Madison to Green Bay! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Wisconsin.
Will my therapist take insurance?
When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.
How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?
The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.
What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?
Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.
Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?
Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.
What to expect during your first session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.
Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
