Compassionate Care, Professional Guidance, Lasting Change
Welcome!
I'm glad you're here. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), my goal is to offer compassionate and meaningful support to those navigating life's challenges. I work with older teens and adults who may be facing complex or difficult situations, and I believe that a strong, trusting relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of healing and growth. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create positive, lasting change in your life.

Experience:
I bring over twenty years of professional experience as a psychotherapist, during which I have worked extensively across a wide range of clinical settings. My early career was rooted in community mental health, where I provided therapeutic support to individuals living with serious and persistent mental illnesses, often navigating complex social, emotional, and psychiatric challenges. For more than thirteen years, I have specialized in working with individuals struggling with problematic sexual behaviors, specifically through my role at Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center—a facility dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of individuals committed under Wisconsin’s Chapter 980 statutes. In addition, I have provided psychosexual evaluations and outpatient therapy for individuals facing criminal charges, frequently involving first-time sexual offenses. My approach in these cases is both compassionate and evidence-based, aiming to reduce risk and support long-term behavioral change.
Psychosexual Evaluations:
I also provide pre-conviction psychosexual evaluations (PSE’s) for people who are facing legal charges for sexual offense allegations, and I have been doing this for several years working with a variety of attorneys in different parts of the state. Please reach out to learn more about this process if you are in need of a psychosexual evaluation.
