Personal Experience & Biography
Wisconsin-Based Psychotherapist
I believe so much of who we are is shaped by what we’ve been through, the relationships we’ve had, and the ways we’ve learned to navigate the world. Sometimes, those experiences leave us with patterns, feelings, or ways of relating to others that we don’t fully understand. Sometimes, we find that the things that once helped us get through life aren’t working quite as well anymore.
I work with children, teens, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life’s many transitions. I’m especially interested in understanding the “why” behind what we feel and do. Why do certain situations bring up such big emotions? Why do we find ourselves repeating the same patterns? Why can something from years ago still affect us today?
I don’t believe therapy is about finding everything that’s “wrong” with you and trying to fix it. I see it as an opportunity to get curious about yourself, make sense of your experiences, and begin to understand what you might need moving forward.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic, attachment-based, and family systems perspectives. In less clinical terms, that means we’ll look at the bigger picture of your life, including your relationships, your past experiences, and the ways they’ve shaped how you see yourself and the world around you. I’m also interested in the connection between our minds and bodies, recognizing that our experiences don’t always show up as thoughts or feelings. Tension, discomfort, or a sense that something just doesn’t feel right can often relate to what’s going on in our minds.
Above all, I want therapy to be a space where you can be authentically yourself. You don’t have to know exactly what to say, have a clear goal, or show up with everything figured out. We can slow down, ask questions, sit with the uncomfortable stuff, and maybe even find moments of humor along the way.
We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, with curiosity, compassion, and the understanding that healing isn’t always a straight line.
