About the Clinic

(608) 571-4143

I've lived in Wisconsin all my life and love the beauty of each season. My interests include hiking and taking nature photography. All the photographs featured on this website were taken by me and I'm pleased to share them here with you.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which is somewhat of a misnomer, because what I actually do is something called Systems Therapy. Systems therapy works by looking at each part, or system, in one’s life. Putting together the parts helps to create a whole picture of who each person is through their experiences, perspectives, connections, skills, needs, and goals.   When a client engages in therapy with me, we work together to form a whole picture of their experiences and needs by discussing and exploring their unique systems. Such systems may include past and current physical and mental health, family and social relationships, and community ties. No one lives in a vacuum, and each of these systems can have a positive or negative affect on a client's mental health.

 I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, 200hr Registered Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher and former School Counselor. I am also a Yoga Therapist and Developmental & Relational Trauma Therapist (DARTT) in training. I use a holistic counseling approach which allows me to gear supports to each individual's specific needs. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic/body-centered therapies, trauma informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy, yoga therapy and mindfulness techniques. 

I believe in being relational and breaking down the stigma attached to mental health issues. I have worked in schools, nonprofit organizations and community centers to expand access to care. I conduct therapy to ages across the lifespan in person or over telehealth. In addition, I have provided consultation and training for schools and organizations in the area of social emotional learning and trauma informed practices to better support employees and/or the people they care for. 

In addition to practicing yoga; I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outside with my dogs, traveling, attending Badger football games and reading. In summer, I co-lead a local camp to empower adolescent girls called Girl’s Stories, Girl’s Voices. I also offer accessible yoga for individuals with intellectual and/or physical disabilities, autism spectrum disorder and mental health concerns to improve behavioral regulation and emotional intelligence.

Ultimately, my passion lies in helping children, adolescents and adults overcome personal challenges and tap into their own resiliency in order to live healthy and peaceful lives. Life is hard enough, take a break from the noise. You deserve it!

About the Logo: 

Wildflower Counseling's logo features a 19th century botanical illustration of red clover flowers. Red clover flowers are found all over the world and have been used medicinally for their healing properties. They are commonly spotted along roadways and bike paths in Wisconsin. Perhaps you've spotted them, too.
