Life can look perfectly put together on the outside while feeling overwhelming underneath. If you’re the one everyone relies on but inside you feel anxious, burned out, or disconnected, you don’t have to keep carrying it alone. I help adults who are tired of just getting through the day and are ready for real support and lasting change. As a licensed therapist and U.S. Air Force veteran, I understand what it’s like to live under pressure, carry responsibility, and feel like you always have to hold everything together. My approach is compassionate, steady, and practical. I focus on helping you untangle what’s weighing on you and build tools that actually work in your daily life. I specialize in working with trauma, depression, and anxiety, as well as supporting adults dealing with stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the demands of caregiving. Our work together is a space where you can finally exhale, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself while creating meaningful, sustainable change. I currently have daytime openings this week. If therapy has been on your mind, this could be the right moment to take that first step.

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 Wisconsin. 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 Military/Veterans?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Military/Veterans, is filtering therapists in Wisconsin that work with patients with similar concerns.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
