About Me
I am a master’s level Marriage and Family Therapist with degree from accredited program from Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin. I have completed all full licensure hours, have a training license, insured by HSPO and under AAMFT Approved Supervision at Northern Roots Therapy Center. I’m also a certified crisis counselor, CBITS Trauma-Informed Specialist, WPATH member and Intimacy Coordinator/Director.
Creative Arts & Theater Therapies
With a background in theatre, dance, film and art, I incorporate all into the therapy I provide. I facilitate groups, families or individuals through self-discovery and responsibility training. Sometimes using painting, .drawing, mask making, performative arts to walk thru past trauma or find deeper layers in our communication with ourselves and others.

Are there any late cancellation fees or policies?
No. We go by an honor and respect system. I won’t charge you a late cancellation fee though if I notice you have no showed more than twice I will presume you have moved on elsewhere and close out your case.
You are always welcome to return for future services. I ask that we are both respectful of each other’s time. If you can’t make it please let me know as soon as you are able so perhaps I could fill that time with being of service to someone else who needs it.
