After surviving life-threatening alcohol withdrawal seizures, I learned firsthand that mental health isn’t an add-on—it’s the foundation that holds everything else up. When your inner groundwork fails, everything built on it begins to wobble. Healing at the root isn’t just transformational—it’s life-saving.
For over 13 years as a licensed psychotherapist in the mental health field, I offer trauma therapy for women across WIsconsin, so they can reduce shame, and rebuild self-confidence. Drawing on experience in one of the nation’s leading evidence-based trauma residential programs, I combine compassionate care with deeply transformative strategies.
As a result of experiencing burnout, I created Balance on Purpose™, my signature program for high-performing individuals and organizations. As a work-life balance coach I address the root causes of stress, build resilience, and create lasting emotional stability.
I’ve worked with Fortune 500 companies to local organizations, leadership teams, and individuals to develop trauma-informed cultures, combat burnout, foster psychological safety, and strengthen teamwork through mental health strategies.
Known for being relatable, practical, and grounded, my work has been featured in Parents, Parade, Homes & Gardens, Authority, and on numerous podcasts.
Mental health is the invisible groundwork supporting clarity at home, innovation at work, and confidence all around. Whether I’m delivering a keynote, mental health services for employees, training leaders, or guiding one-on-one transformation, my focus is always on building that foundation so people and organizations can stand firm—even in chaos. Your foundation matters. When it’s strong, you can build anything: purpose, performance, presence, and peace.
