I am a Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Counselor. I have a passion for helping clients to find the appropriate coping skills to manage their mental health symptoms and live their life to their fullest. My main focus for clients is to learn about themselves and how their mental health affects their lives and how they manage their lives.. I believe in helping people how they manage their lives with their mental health and for those that are using substances how they can manage their lives without using substances.
I work with clients ages 4-94 plus. I use Cognitive Behavioral, Behavioral, and Mindfulness modalities to help clients achieve their best lives possible. I am also certified in Narrative Attachment Therapy for children and adults with severe trauma and in need of forming healthy, rational attachments to other people in their lives. I work with children, adults, and families to best aide them on their road to healthy lives.
I graduated from Florida State University in 1995 with honors in my Master’s of Social Work degree. I am registered with State of Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am certified with Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurances. I also have been supervising individuals who have graduated with their degrees in the Mental Health field on their way to becoming licensed in the mental health profession.
Please feel free to reach out to me for your mental health and/or substance abuse needs.
