I am an experienced clinician who finds deep meaning and reward in my work with individuals and families. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting children, adults, and families across a variety of settings, helping them navigate challenges and build resilience. As an older clinician, I bring both professional expertise and life experience into my practice, allowing me to connect with clients in a thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded way. I consider it an honor to work with individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life. In addition to my clinical work, I have served as a Military Family Life Counselor, supporting service members and their families during my son’s time in the United States Marine Corps. This experience further strengthened my understanding of the unique challenges faced by military families and deepened my commitment to service. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy fishing, camping, and engaging in a variety of arts and crafts, which provide balance, creativity, and renewal.

Looking for help can be overwhelming. Asking for help can be uncomfortable, awkward, or even bring in some anxiety. If you find that is how you are feeling, that is absolutely okay! Actually, one could even say that is totally normal. Some of the hardest feelings and conversations that we need to work through are the most important ones. Throughout my experience, I have provided services to individuals from different backgrounds, experiences, or struggles like being a new mom or victims/ offenders of violence. If you feel that you have experienced trauma (past or present), managing day to day needs, coping skills, conflicts, relationships, and life transitions. My flexibility in using different therapy of techniques (such as EMDR and traditional talk therapy) has been helpful. In addition, I have connections with a number of other providers; if I am not a fit for you or if someone you know is interested in services, I am happy to help connect you. In addition to therapy services, I am able to provide expert witness services/testimony for domestic violence cases in Wisconsin.

I provide counseling services for children, teens, and young adults who are navigating the many challenges that come with growing, changing, and finding their footing in the world. Many of my clients seek support for anxiety, depression, stress, low self-confidence, or major life transitions. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. When working with children and adolescents, I often use a play-based and developmentally appropriate approach. Play, creativity, and interactive activities allow younger clients to express themselves in ways that are natural and comfortable - especially when putting feelings into words is difficult. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths based, and rooted in authenticity. I believe meaningful progress happens through trust, connection, and collaboration.

My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, incorporating techniques from CBT, attachment-based therapy, play-based interventions, mindfulness, and emotional regulation skill-building. I work with children and adults experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem concerns, social difficulties, trauma-related experiences, and life transitions. I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy approach used to help individuals process distressing experiences, trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions in a safe and supportive way. EMDR helps the brain reprocess difficult memories so they feel less emotionally overwhelming and disruptive in daily life. My goal is to help children and adults feel empowered, understood, and capable of navigating life with greater confidence, healing, and emotional well-being.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in ADHD therapy for adults, couples, families, and college students across Florida and Wisconsin struggling with emotional exhaustion, unfinished tasks, relationship conflict, burnout, or chronic overwhelm. Many of the clients I work with have spent years feeling frustrated with not being able to consistently follow through, stay organized, manage emotions, or function at the level they know they are capable of. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years as a Life Coach and ADHD Coach, studying and working exclusively with one condition: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). That experience gave me firsthand insight into how deeply ADHD can affect confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, organization, and everyday functioning over time. This foundation allows me to help clients address the emotional and relational patterns that often develop after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, disorganized, or mentally overloaded. My work centers on helping people better understand how ADHD affects emotions, relationships, and everyday life so they can move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding. Together, we'll identify what's getting in the way and build practical strategies that actually fit how your brain works.

I believe that what you have been through, learned, or done does not have to define what comes next. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, attention and focus, self-esteem, or other mental health concerns, therapy can give you space to understand what is happening and find a healthier path forward. My approach combines compassion and kindness with clear, direct guidance. Together, we can look at thought patterns that may be keeping you stuck, recognize habits that are no longer helping you, and explore new ways to handle challenges. I also consider how different parts of your life and well-being connect rather than focusing on one concern in isolation. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful growth in your life and relationships.

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.

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.
