I love helping individuals grow and develop, whether it’s through individual counseling services or coaching sessions. Most of my services are conducted through teletherapy, allowing you to access services from the comfort of your home. I’m licensed in both Wisconsin and Illinois, so no matter where you live in those states, we can work together. I look forward to creating change collaboratively with you.

Experience
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of work, parenting, or life in general? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with adults who are struggling to manage stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression, especially those trying to juggle the pressures of professional and personal responsibilities. I have a special focus on supporting educators and school professionals who often give so much to others that their own well-being takes a back seat.
Together, we’ll create a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change. My approach is warm, practical, and tailored to help you feel better and find a sense of balance again.
Before transitioning into private practice, I spent 34 years working in public schools, helping students, families, and staff navigate life’s challenges. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how stress shows up across all areas of life—and how important it is to have a safe place to process, heal, and grow.
I offer virtual sessions only, conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, so you can access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, DBT-informed, ACT-informed, and Solution-Focused techniques. We’ll work together to find the tools and strategies that resonate most with you.
