About Me
Healing from trauma takes courage—and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor offering telehealth sessions across Wisconsin, specializing in trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. My own healing journey has deepened my compassion and shaped the way I show up for clients. I know what it’s like to face pain and choose growth, which inspires me to create a safe, real, and non-judgmental space. Clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and empowered to make lasting change.
I walk with adults who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by trauma, grief, anxiety, or life transitions. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical tools for emotional resilience. Therapy is a collaborative, safe space to process pain, reconnect with yourself, and reclaim confidence, strength, and peace of mind. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
