I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin and Michigan and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in IL, with experience working with individuals and families, children, adolescents, and adults. I am certified in Clinical Anxiety Treatment and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. 

​

With over thirty years experience working with individuals and families, I have a lot of training and expertise to draw on when tackling your problem. You won’t be alone!  

​

My theoretical orientation is 1) integrative, which means I customize my approach to your specific concerns, and 2) collaborative, which means we’re a team.  I believe you are the expert of your life (although you may not feel like it right now!) but I will walk alongside of you during this difficult journey toward answers. I am trained in Clinical Anxiety Treatment, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I also provide Christian Counseling for those who request that approach. I use gentle humor, non-judgmental and compassionate communication, and straightforward problem-solving to help you meet your goals. 

​

As for my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my family--both immediate and extended. I’m an involved leader in my church, and I love to read and write. In fact, I’m a published author of several mystery series, which means I can spend an afternoon reading and call it “research.”  

​

My favorite quote is by Oscar Wilde and it connects both aspects of my life. He said, “The final mystery is oneself.” I want to help you solve your mystery.  I hope you’re ready to give this a try! I’m excited to work with you. Let’s get started.
