I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 7 years of experience providing care to various populations within case management services, in patient psychiatric unit and outpatient settings.  

I practice strength based and person-centered therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused and behavioral activation. My attitude is one of nonjudgement, empathy, understanding. I focus on a collaborative treatment planning between myself and patients. My intention to is create a supportive and safe environment to allow for healing.

I work with clients who are dealing with unhelpful coping, depression, anxiety, life transitions/adjustments, and grief offering trauma informed treatment to counter these life difficulties. I enjoy lifelong learning, practicing mindfulness, and spending time with family and pets.  

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Substance Abuse Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with children and adults in a variety of settings.

I have additional training in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health and Brainspotting which involves focused mindfulness interventions aimed at identifying, processing and releasing sources of emotional and physical pain and increasing self-awareness.

I enjoy the collaborative environment at LCHC and working with individuals and families by following their lead and supporting them in building their resiliency.

Following my time in a hospital setting, I worked as a Forensic Interviewer at a local child advocacy center conducting specialized interviews of children and vulnerable adults subject to abuse and/or sensitive crime. I taught Social Work at the University level and mentored many students.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with individuals and families throughout the Sheboygan County area.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time and going on adventures with my son, spending time with friends and family, taking on DIY house projects, reading and crafting.

Bio coming soon.
