Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin that is also trained and licensed in art therapy. I have extensive experience working with youth ranging in age from four to 18. I have worked with women and their children in addictions recovery and am very interested in working with veterans because of my own journey through PTSD. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and identify as non-binary myself. I consider myself to be culturally competent, and will work to understand the perspective of the person I support first and foremost.
My therapy style is welcoming and non-judgmental. I feel that my journey in life through trauma is why my heart genuinely cares to know others in theirs. I am honored to support anyone who feels they can trust me enough to share what has happened in order for us to make sense of why undesired behaviors and thoughts are present in their current struggle. I believe in putting the person first and will be an ally on their journey of healing, while continuing to motivate and encourage the person I support, even when it feels impossible. I believe compassion and relationship building is key for success. I honor diagnosis but believe a person is more than a label they were given. My approach is focused on a bottom-up approach that involves using the body, breath-work, and image making to promote neural connections for new habits. I work with the person I support to determine a treatment plan to meet their goals.
My life work is rooted in understanding the effects trauma has on the mind, body and spirit. I use current research in these areas of understanding to work towards healing through emotional regulation in order to understand self to be able to create new narratives and patterns that promote a desired post-traumatic growth lifestyle. I have worked with with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, addictions, self-worth, death/grief, relationship issues, abuse, parent/child challenges and more.
The journey is often not easy, but with support and small steps, I believe it is definitely doable.
I look forward supporting you on your journey towards wellness.

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One clear advantage is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from a distance.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch to a different therapist if they want a different fit. For many, online therapy provides a practical, accessible way to pursue mental health goals with qualified support.
