Join my FREE course to: Strengthen Your Relationship with Your Teen
YES! I am a licensed professional counselor; the state of Wisconsin gave me the official document years ago. 

I have always been told I 'beat to the rhythm of my own drum'.  I used to think that was a criticism until I realized it was a genuine 'I wish I had her guts' sentiment.  I embraced my uniqueness and started my brand The Psyko Therapist.

It is true, I do things differently; but most importantly, I DO things.  I accept challenges with an 'I can do this' mentality, where others may shy away from those challenges.  I love perspectives, seeing things differently and empowering others to see things differently as well.  

I get work done with commitment and passion.  When it comes to my work, I have always said, I want the rejects, the misfits, the bullied, the quiet ones, the unique, the ones who think differently....they are my tribe; the ones given up on by others...
I see you for who you are. 
I have faith in your truth.
I believe in your power,
and I am honored & humbled by your permission to hold your hand on the beautiful journey to your core....

About me...

I am a mom, daughter, wife, sister, friend, amateur photographer, sports and fitness enthusiast, a former division one college basketball athlete as well as a former basketball coach.  I believe I am blessed to have the honor and privilege to bare witness to the incredible persistence and bravery the human spirit is capable of when embarking on a healing journey.  

I have the utmost admiration and respect for my clients; they gift me trust and allow me to walk their beautiful journey with them.  This gift is one of the most precious experiences I will forever cherish.  I believe in my client's resiliency and motivation to heal; when hiring me, you not only hire a professional counselor, you also hire an advocate.  My focus is on your individual journey; my energy and efforts are spent meeting you where you are, not to try and move you someplace else or squeeze you into a certain therapy technique.   I believe together we will design a strategy that suits your individual needs, based on your physiology and goals, to best encourage a healthier, happier and more peaceful you.  Healing may not always be easy, but I guarantee it's....A Beautiful Journey!!  

My own Beautiful Journey has taken me to many amazing places with many unique experiences.  As a natural athlete and tomboy, I started playing sports when I was 5 years old.  I played basketball through high school into a Division I college in South Carolina.  Today I continue to challenge myself with intense and explosive fitness regimes as well as living a healthy lifestyle.  I know the importance of having a strong, healthy body physically; as well as mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Journey's can be a roller coaster; fun one minute and scary the next, dizzying and nauseating yet freeing and stimulating.  I have seen some beautiful sights, met some amazing people and learned some valuable lessons along my beautiful journey.  I have laughed and cried; rejoiced and screamed.

Later in life, I chose to pursue a masters degree in counseling.  My belief and intention: to educate; and pay forward the lessons and wisdom I have acquired, hopefully encouraging and inspiring others to be their healthiest, truest self.  I enjoy working with people of all ages; however I have a special passion for teenagers and young adults.

My brand: The Psyko Therapist

I created & designed (currently & always under construction for optimal awesomeness) THE PSYKO THERAPIST brand to de-stigmatize and normalize the mental health therapy process using humor, honesty, authenticity, awareness and education. 
Two stigmas I address are:
1. Anyone who has a counselor is a crazy person, 
2. Counselors are perfect with no mental health issues. 

My goal is to reclaim the word crazy, like a mental health ninja warrior, and re-define it to be ALL inclusive; everyone gets to participate....EVERYONE.  One, because I like the word; and two, because let's face it, everyone is crazy....life is a matter of perspecitve and we all have our own perspective.  We ALL engage in some form of dysFUNction; what matters is how we put the 'FUN' in dysFUNction that makes our own crazy personal and unique, challening and fulfilling.

I choose not to put the gloves on and 'fight' a stigma; neither will I declare war on stigmas; as much as stigmas suck the big one, we have an opportunity to learn from them.  I choose to make friends with stigmas, invite them in to understand them, meet them where they are, offer them compassion and a listening ear.  And I choose to empower people with education and new perspectives through humor and honest dialogue in hopes to re-define those stigmas.  Providing people with a new perspective of the word 'crazy'; which includes EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. US.  How we address our own 'crazy' is unique to each individual....first we have to admit it.  Self-awareness can be a bitch, but it's worth it.   

Counselors are human; we have not totally resolved our dyFUNctional issues as many appear to assume or would like to think.  In addition, counselors are not free from mental health diagnoses or issues.  In fact, the greatest counselors HAVE their own counselor.  If you come across a counselor who claims they have no mental health issues or dysFUNction, I want you to run...run fast, away from them and never go back.   

Join me on my journey to redefine, recapture, empower and add compassion to mental health therapy from the inside out, by embracing the stigma and diving into honesty, authenticity and the world of mental health with the twist of humor.  Because laughter therapy is a thing.
