Clinical Interests:

My primary clinical interest is providing support to individuals with diverse mental health needs across the lifespan. I have a particular interest in various areas, including mental health research, alcohol and substance use disorders, depression, anxiety and panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, neurocognitive disorders, schizophrenia, autism and developmental disorders, as well as working with military and veteran populations.

Clinical Approach:

My clinical approach is deeply rooted in client-centered care, which means that your unique needs and preferences are my top priority. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on a strong foundation of trust, mutual respect, and collaboration, allowing us to work together effectively as partners in your healing journey. In our sessions, we will take the time to discuss your specific concerns, treatment goals, and the challenges you face. Based on this understanding, we will co-create a detailed and tailored plan of care that addresses not only your immediate issues but also promotes long-term well-being. I will provide you with the tools and resources necessary to facilitate meaningful changes in your life. I firmly believe in empowering individuals throughout this process. By equipping you with knowledge and skills, I aim to enhance your sense of agency in your care, making it possible for you to take ownership of your journey towards improved health. My ultimate goal is to support you in achieving your treatment objectives while fostering a trusting and enduring therapeutic relationship that encourages growth and resilience.

Hobbies:

I’m a huge music enthusiast, and I truly believe that music is the food for my soul! Whether it’s enjoying live performances, street musicians, singing along at cover shows, or having a blast at dueling pianos, I love soaking up all that music has to offer. I also find so much joy in spending time at the ocean beaches, where I can kick back with my feet in the sand, dive into a good book, or simply listen to my favorite music. During the summer months, you’ll often find me fishing in the beautiful lakes of Wisconsin, exploring the Great Lakes, or discovering new lakes in throughout the United States. Traveling is another big love of mine; I love learning about different places, exploring new surroundings, and soaking up all the wonders the world has to offer. Lastly, I cherish the time I spend with family and friends—whether we’re playing board games, going for a fun UTV ride, enjoying a cookout, or gathering around a cozy campfire, it’s always a great time.
