I am a Wisconsin native and have lived in Madison since attending The University of Wisconsin where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree of Arts in Psychology. My path to becoming a therapist was not straight forward, but through a series of life changes, led to the completion of my Master’s Degree of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy.
My approach to therapy centers on relationships. I believe that when we have successful and fulfilling relationships it allows for optimal performance and enjoyment in personal and professional pursuits. I am driven to help couples reconnect and build intimate relationships. Intimacy and sexual issues with both individuals and couples are my special interests. I work with all sexual issues including sexual health, gender identity, and sexual trauma. I am experienced in working with the LGBTQAI community. I have been trained in Divorce Discernment Counseling, a recent alternative for those couples who are contemplating divorce and not sure if traditional couples counseling is appropriate for them.
Like many therapists, I provide a full scope of care for individuals, couples and families with issues concerning anxiety, depression and grief. As a systems therapist, I find great joy in developing relationships with my clients to support them in their journey of change. Carl Rogers, one of the grandfathers of therapy, is quoted as saying, “In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, cure or change this person? Now I would phrase the question this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his or her own personal growth?” The latter part of his quote resonates with who I am as a therapist and my style of therapy; the relationship reigns supreme.
