My philosophy begins with the idea that we all do well when we can. Life can be unpredictable, and ways of coping have to evolve to meet challenges. My role is to help individuals and families consider why they are not at their best, and help to find strategies to improve their functioning.

Throughout my nearly 15-year career, I have specialized in working with concerns ranging from behavioral problems, anxiety, anger, and social skills; to trauma, attachment, abuse, and neglect. I work from a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, and believe that early interactions and experiences can shape how we navigate our world.

My undergraduate degrees are in psychology and education. I obtained my Master’s degree from the University of WI- Milwaukee in Educational Psychology; Community Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My experience has led me to work in various settings including schools, residential treatment, outpatient, in- home, and in primary care clinics. My passion has been working in school settings where children and families can find accessible care for their behavioral, emotional, and mental health needs.

Working together to build a strong collaborative relationship, and utilizing a strength-based approach I can help adults, children, and families to foster meaningful change in their daily life.
