I was destined to be a therapist. Since middle school I was who the other kids came to when they wanted advice. I was (and still am) an observer and encourager. I love getting to know people and how they think, then helping them discover what’s holding them back, and propelling them forward to the life they envision for themselves.

As a substance abuse counselor and certified trauma professional, I work with individuals, families, and groups at both our Kenosha and Paddock Lake locations in all things related to substance use including: relationships, trauma, coping skills, grief, anger, mental and emotional wellness, healing childhood wounds, setting goals, creating a sober lifestyle, finding yourself again, dealing with negative thoughts and emotions, and more.

It’s powerful to connect with others over things that make us human and imperfect and then discover the strength inside of us that makes us capable of change.
