- LCSW
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin, Arkansas, Arizona, and Nevada, and a licensed Substance Abuse Counselor in Wisconsin, with over a decade of professional experience. My career has been dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including coping with addictions, healing from past trauma, building motivation and confidence, managing career difficulties, and embracing life changes.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in creating a safe, open environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. I’m known for my patient, understanding, and insightful demeanor, and I believe that growth happens best when we approach it with a balance of care and a touch of humor. Clients often tell me that this laid-back yet professional style makes our sessions both productive and approachable.
Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life is an act of courage. I’m here to support you on this journey, offering tools and guidance tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work towards building the life you deserve, one step at a time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
