My compassionate, affirming, eclectic counseling approach provides a safe environment for all backgrounds and identities.

I draw on my life experience, academic background, and clinical training to create a safe, supportive space that promotes personal growth and aligns with your goals. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients address unhealed trauma, anxiety, depression, and life stress in ways that foster lasting change. Rather than focusing solely on problems, we will work collaboratively to highlight your inherent strengths and inner resources, empowering you to make meaningful changes and build on your existing skills. I tailor my approach to best support your self-exploration and development. As a former Director of a university counseling center, I have extensive experience working with college students and young adults navigating the transition to college life. This includes support around academic stress, identity exploration, time management, relationship concerns, and the challenges of increased independence. I am particularly passionate about helping students thrive during this transformative time. In both private practice and higher education settings, I have supported diverse populations, including student-athletes and LGBTQ+ individuals, through periods of emotional healing, life transitions, and personal growth. Whether you're adjusting to college, managing stress, or seeking deeper emotional understanding, I offer a collaborative, compassionate space to help you feel empowered, grounded, and more connected to yourself. I offer individual therapy in Madison, WI and Downers Grove, IL. I provide telehealth services and am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, with options for out-of-network insurance, out-of-pocket, and sliding scale payments.
