Michael Scott from The Office once said "Society teaches us that having feelings and crying is bad and wrong. Well, that's baloney, because grief isn't wrong. There's such a thing as good grief. Just ask Charlie Brown." As a therapist, I would agree with Michael and add that all feelings are right and good and meaningful but sometimes we can get stuck in negative thought patterns, relationship conflicts, painful feelings or avoidance strategies. We sometimes need help to create and develop new tools for handling those difficult thoughts or situations.

Having borderline personality disorder can feel excruciating. Relationships are scary and unpredictable, and like you might not survive another rejection. Sometimes things feel amazing and sometimes they feel so bad you don’t even want to be alive. It can be hard to find a therapist who understands, and who has the training to work with your specific needs. Together, we can work towards feeling more confident, peaceful, and sure of who you are.

My ideal client is someone whom is struggling in life and motivated to seek help and make the changes necessary in their thoughts, beliefs or circumstances to get back into wellness. I enjoy working with teens. Most of my career has been with at risk youth. I also work with women's issues, addressing underlying causes of stress and overwhelm. I use Imago and Gottman approaches with couples. When working with men, we discuss the need for vulnerability and self-acceptance. Anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss can all be successfully addressed with psychotherapy.

Do you sense that you are "just getting by" in life? Do you feel weighed down by a sadness, restricted by anxieties, or just a sense of detachment and numbness? Are you concerned about a relationship or lack thereof? Or perhaps there are old, unattended wounds still hurting from long-ago. Eastern philosophies remind us that suffering is universal, but not necessary, and that it emerges from a disconnection from our essential nature. Therapy with me uses mindfulness practices and trauma-informed therapy (EMDR) to reconnect with that nature and inquire into the barriers that resist such connection to ourselves and others.

I see anyone within Wisconsin via telehealth - rural or urban, no more being put on the waiting list. I validate and encourage you to become aware of the coping strategies that do not serve you, such as avoidance, numbing, and not showing up for yourself. In the now, we explore how one may be stuck in the past or the future and unable to make healthy choices for today.

I have a strong focus on adult ADHD, burnout, perfectionism and dealing with a loud inner critic. The "vibe" would be warm and understanding, with a touch of humor and millennial burnout. Whether it is looking to the past for understanding, finding ways to connect to the present, or cultivating hope for the future, I make sure to provide an authentic, warm and supportive space for clients to improve their connection to themselves and the world around them. I consider myself an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community and neurodivergent friendly.

I utilize an existential-humanistic approach which goes above symptom reduction and helps with understanding and developing new ways to experience self, others, and the world. This approach encourages introspection, self-reflection, and assists an individual with increasing self-awareness, self-knowledge, and opportunities for choice where they once felt frustrated, stuck, and hopeless. In addition, I specialize in cross-cultural issues, historical and cultural trauma, and acculturation/racial diversity.
