Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Wisconsin
My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassionate exploration and attunement and is inspired by elements of Emotion-Focused therapy, parts and inner-child work, Internal Family Systems, and attachment theory.
Limited evening availability beginning in November. Immediate morning and afternoon availability. Anxious, stuck, lost, empty, sad? You are not alone if any of these words resonate with you. Many of us learned to disconnect from the hurting or lonely parts of ourselves which can look like negative self-talk, overwhelm, unpredictable emotions, and relationship frustrations. I work with individuals who want to unlearn limiting beliefs, process past experiences, and reconnect with themselves, and folks exploring autism and identity. If you've ever been curious about how your past shapes your present, you're in the right place.

Together, using cutting edge, evidence-based tools such as EMDR, IFS, DBT & ACT, we’ll help you reach the relief, calmness, growth and positivity you seek.
Are you feeling sad and burdened, like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your back? Unloveable? Stuck? Hope is slipping away, but anxiety remains deep. Your mind and body are stressed. It feels the same, no matter what you try. The voice of failure reverberates in your mind. 'It's no use- why even try?' Don't give up! I can help you heal your inner turmoil and find light in the darkness.

I believe that if we do not cope and deal with trauma that happens in our life, trauma will take over and infiltrate into all areas of our life. I have experience in counseling stroke survivors and survivors of sexual, physical, emotional and mental abuse. In addition, I’m experienced in helping clients work through grief and loss issues. My approach is diverse and client specific focusing on empowerment and becoming active participants in our life. By utilizing a variety of psycho-therapeutic techniques consistent with CBT, DBT, IFS and Trauma informed care, clients will feel supported through their mental health journey.

I am trained in various therapeutic approaches, including internal family systems-informed care ( IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed yoga/movement, and person-centered approaches.
I enjoy my work with clients who are navigating post-traumatic stress, family of origin pain, codependent attachment patterns, body image/disordered eating difficulties, religious trauma, anxiety, and depression. I affirm and value inclusivity in the therapy space for neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I prioritize compassion, humor, and warmth in my work with clients. I believe each of us has an important story to tell and I work to create an empathic space for clients to begin the journey inward. My favorite part about being a therapist is accompanying clients as they realize their inherent value.

These include: sand tray, Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Holographic Memory Resolution (HMR), guided relaxation and journeying on an infrared and bio-acoustic mat, and therapeutic art such as dioramas, mask making, and left handed self portrait drawing.
What drives my 25 year experience in the field of clinical psychology is a superpower that I believe belongs to everyone, sacred curiosity. In partnering with my client to develop this superpower we build the foundation for the following: healing past trauma, working through loss and transition, developing a consistent emotional regulation practice, harnessing creative energies in productive ways, building self-awareness without judgement, and fostering conflict resolution skills that bring harmony to social relationships. Clients who are drawn to my work seek creative embodied ways of healing and self-exploring.
