About Me
I am a national board-certified psychotherapist and national board-certified addictions counselor, certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) and the National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC).
I specialize in trauma and mood disorders. Within that vein, I am also an active member of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) and the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), which helps me stay abreast of the most current research and trends in the treatment of trauma.
My practice is a Telehealth-only practice. This means I do not meet with clients in an office space, and clients are not restricted by geographic location. I can serve clients wherever they live or are located in the State of Wisconsin. Being a Telehealth-based psychotherapist allows me to help eliminate the issue of accessibility to healthcare for many clients.
I started working with people over two decades ago and have since worked with people from all walks of life in a variety of areas, domestically and abroad. Life experience has offered me dynamic personal and professional development, which I strive to draw from in my practice.
I'm trained in several theories and modalities of group and individual treatment, with several functional specializations and interests. However, my approach to therapy is psychodynamic, as I rarely apply a single approach to any one client. I use the therapeutic modalities that you feel comfortable with and that I believe will yield the most beneficial treatment outcomes for you.
I practice trauma-focused psychotherapy with expertise in treating a comprehensive spectrum of mood disorders and trauma-related conditions. I am specially trained to help clients navigate the complex journey of healing from traumatic experiences, using evidence-based approaches that honor each person's unique path to recovery.
In addition to my trauma specialization, I provide comprehensive addiction counseling services. Addiction treatment encompasses alcohol and substance use disorders, as well as behavioral addictions, including gambling and sex addiction.
Last, I have extensive experience providing clinical supervision and consultation to licensed professional counselors and addiction professionals. In addition to my post-graduate certificate in clinical supervision from UW-Milwaukee, I am beginning doctoral studies at Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in Fall 2026, with research interests focused on trauma recovery, fear learning, avoidance processes, and treatment engagement in clinical practice.
I am a Wisconsin state board-approved supervisor for provisionally licensed counselors (LPC-ITs), which means I am approved to supervise in-training therapists' post-graduate clinical hours. I am an active member of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS), the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), and the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA)
