I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a focus on Direct Practice from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work with a minor in Human Services from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater.

With nearly 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including residential treatment centers for OCD, outpatient clinics, substance use programs, and private practice. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine human connection.

I have received specialized professional training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This training has equipped me to help clients face their fears, reduce compulsive behaviors, and build a life driven by values rather than anxiety. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) techniques to support clients with OCD and/or anxiety.

Over the years, I noticed a consistent pattern. The people supporting someone with OCD often feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure how to help. That’s why I began offering dedicated sessions for support people—so they can get the guidance, clarity, and tools they need, too. 

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) located in Wisconsin, offering secure virtual therapy for adults across Wisconsin, Illinois, and Nebraska. My practice combines structured, evidence-based treatment with warmth, empathy, and personality. Healing is serious work, but it doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

In addition to my clinical background, I bring leadership and human experience, which has helped me build a therapy practice rooted in accessibility, integrity, and meaningful connection.
