Our world is complex and navigating it can feel overwhelming. The only constant is change and sometimes it can be hard to know what’s next. Is it any surprise that we sometimes get stuck? I work with couples, individuals, and families and help them work through difficult times by creating new paths.

I graduated with my MSW from University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana in 2020. I have experience working with a range of concerns including, depression, anxiety, grief, personality disorders, and trauma symptoms. While I work with all individuals regardless of demographics, my expertise lies with folks ages 12-40. I understand starting counseling can be intimidating. Welcoming a stranger into the most vulnerable parts of life is not something that feels very natural. That said, I recognize and embrace that a connection should be formed before the work can begin.

I love working with teens and adults who are looking to make positive changes in their lives and are ready to heal from a variety of issues, including trauma exposure, PTSD, depression, anxiety, or family and relational issues. I think the relationship between therapist and client is the basis for healing and progress in therapy.

Neuroscience is showing us what we have known instinctually forever; that it is through nurturing relationships that healing and human growth occurs. If we have been wounded in relationship or have unresolved trauma from the past, our fear and reactivity can prevent us from seeking and maintaining nurturing and safe connections with self and others. I am a licensed therapist in CA and WI and work online with residents of those two states only. My practice is fee for service only.

Have you experienced family, friend, or romantic relationships that have left you feeling hurt, broken, or misunderstood? Have these relationships influenced how connected you feel to yourself and to the people you love? My ideal client has been affected by painful or complex relationship experiences that have left them feeling lost or confused in who they truly are and what they desire for their relationships and for their own legacy. These clients wonder “how did I get here? Things must change” after they realize past or present friendship and relationship dynamics truly influence their identity, communication, and character.

Specializing in nature-based therapies in all seasons, I apply an approach to therapy that integrates walking while talking about issues and problem solving with clients. This Walk and Talk practice helps assimilate physical movement in nature towards psychological movement and insight. For many clients, a dynamic therapeutic environment helps provide greater ease in discussing their feelings and concerns. Additionally, as a Registered Horticultural Therapist and life-long gardener I often augment my indoor, clinic practice with plant-based interventions. I am currently accepting new clients and am licensed in both MN and WI.

Living with ADHD can be like having a busy city in your brain with no crossing guards, no stoplights, and no working clocks. Everything is coming in fast from all directions and you’re not sure what comes first, last, or where it’s going. You know you’re smart. You know you’re capable. It’s the doing that always seems hard. Sometimes you get to it and then get tunnel vision and lose track of time. Other times you get distracted by something midway through. Sometimes you just don’t have enough juice to start. Sometimes you don’t know how to get started. Sometimes it’s so boring it’s painful. Why do other people get it so easily?

Trauma, a difficult childhood, deep loss—they leave a mark. We’d all love to believe that what happened “back then” doesn’t have to affect us in the “here & now.” But they do. Painful experiences change how we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and how we view the world. We want to move on but we're stuck. No matter how hard we try to push the pain back or down or away... it leaks back in and we find ourselves living in the same old pain with the same old problems: Stuck. Exhausted. Frustrated.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
