Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC

Healing from trauma, stress, or life’s big transitions takes courage—and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor offering telehealth sessions across Wisconsin, and I specialize in supporting college students and young adults who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. My own healing journey has shaped the way I show up in therapy: real, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I know what it’s like to face pain and choose growth, and I create a space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.

Life can feel overwhelming. Between academic pressures, relationships, family expectations, and figuring out who you want to be, it’s easy to feel weighed down or anxious. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical tools to manage stress, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. This is a collaborative space where your voice matters, your feelings are valid, and your growth is the priority.

I use evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), combined with mindfulness, body awareness, and practical coping strategies. I help young adults break free from old patterns, process what hurts, and build confidence, clarity, and resilience—supporting healing on every level: mind, body, and spirit. I bring authenticity, empathy, and even a touch of humor to sessions so you can feel safe, challenged, and supported as you grow.

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, clarify your goals, and begin shaping a personalized plan that works for your life. Flexible telehealth sessions make it easy to start from anywhere—dorm, apartment, or home. Together, we’ll take intentional steps toward healing, growth, and empowerment. Whether it’s anxiety, trauma, grief, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a turning point—and I’ll be here to walk alongside you. Your next chapter starts here.
