About

I am so glad you are here, exploring options for taking care of yourself. I specialize in treating co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, adjustment, and personality disorders. I draw from Dialectic Behavior, Rational Emotive, and Solution Focused therapies. I believe in a multifaceted approach that is person based: everyone is unique and should be supported in a way that makes sense for them and their circumstances. I have spent a great deal of my career supporting those seeking recovery from substance use disorders and treating the underlying issues that lead to its development. I believe that open and honest dialogue in the client/therapist relationship supports goal identification, identifies barriers to achieving those goals, and drives excellent service delivery.

I am a Master’s prepared Licensed Professional Counselor (WI) and Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (WI) , with an additional Certification in Dialectic Behavior Therapy. Over the past decade, I have performed clinical duties in a variety of settings, spanning the continuum of care to include AODA residential treatment services, hospital-based programming for mental health, as well as day treatment, intensive outpatient, and traditional outpatient care for both. In addition to psychotherapy services, I have taught Crisis Prevention and Trauma Informed Care in the clinical setting to colleagues. I have also been honored to receive The Chamber's Future 15 award, and the Admiral Award of my locally based mental health Clubhouse.

I look forward to the opportunity to help you explore solutions and skills that will assist you getting closer to where you'd like to be -and how you'd like to feel.
