 Awaken Within & Elevate Your Life

Wisconsin Therapist Specializing in Women’s Mental Wellness

I specialize in helping women because I deeply understand the challenges you face at every stage of life. Sometimes things become off balance and maybe you feel not quite like yourself. Whether you’re overwhelmed, anxious, struggling with perfectionism or people pleasing, or just feeling low—I get it, and you’re not alone.

My therapy style is sincere, holistic, and direct, with a touch of humor, and always grounded in authenticity. Together we’ll create a personalized, transformative experience that blends proven methods with a focus on your overall wellness.

If you're searching for something different and seeking a solution, you're in the right place...

Insights for Your Journey

from the blog

Stay in touch!

Know that I often hear from clients things like "you're so relatable, this is different than I thought it would be, I can be myself here, "... Maybe it's time to give it a try.

I understand that the thought of going to therapy can be intimidating, hard, even scary.
