Since I began practicing 21 years ago, I've gathered extensive experience working with adults and adolescents (14-19 yrs) using a strengths-based approach in addition to assessing and increasing communication skills for all areas of life to ensure you get the most out of every session. Always first and foremost, my goal as a therapist is to be genuine, approachable, and nonjudgmental as I help guide you through the therapeutic process to become your own best resource.

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.

Spooner, WI 54801
I am a compassionate, caring, qualified therapist. Rather than just treating symptoms, I help clients get to the root cause of the problem. Then we work together to change habitual ways of thinking, feeling and behaving into more positive, healthful, life affirming patterns. I am a Clinically trained Hypnotherapist and Hypnoanalyst and psychotherapist. I use this process because I am amazed at how good results are for clients. I love to see clients succeed and hypnosis makes change more effective and faster. I am currently getting a doctorate because I am committed to the most effective treatment possible.

It's important to acknowledge up front that no therapist is a great fit for everyone seeking therapy. The people with whom I am able to develop the strongest, most effective therapeutic alliance tend to be those who contemplate themselves -and life, the universe, and everything- quite deeply. If you have been told by others in your life that you "overthink," I might be a good therapist for you. If you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety-, depression-, trauma-, and/or substance use-related disorders, or if you have been diagnosed with ADHD, I have many strategies and tools available to support you on your journey toward change.

Rice Lake, WI 54868  (Online Only)
Your anxiety is more than just an uncomfortable force in your body. It colludes with shame, keeping you in an unceasing cycle of fear, avoidance, and self-criticism. On one end of the pendulum, your anxiety invites a visceral sense of dread and a baseline of unrelenting distress; on the other, it cracks hard against your sense of self-worth, belonging, and value. You want an escape: to feel capable, self-assured, and led by what matters to you in life. You want to securely connect to yourself; to trust yourself. You want to feel fiercely empowered.

With over 23 years of experience as a Counselor, I have found the most effective way to do therapy is to help empower people to recognize the power and strength they have within themselves. There is hope and a way to get better. I will show you through psychoeducation, learning effective coping skills, and changing/interrupting your negative thought patterns. When you change the way you see yourself you can change your life in ways you never thought possible. Let me help you let go of the fear/negativity/anxiety or whatever is holding you back in your life.
