As both a Psychologist and a Registered Nurse, I see firsthand the importance of treating the whole person with a mind-body perspective. This includes respecting the client’s symptoms and gaining clarity for the appropriate treatment options. I utilize a supportive environment with clients that is helpful, but non-judgmental and is focused on growth. This approach allows clients to achieve their goals and regain a sense of direction and purpose. One of my personal goals is to provide quality, effective, and efficient treatment to both reduce emotional pain and prompt optimal functioning for clients.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I am married and have three adult children. I am a member of the American Psychological Association, the Wisconsin Psychological Association and also a Registered Nurse. I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years.
