​

I am a Wisconsin-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in family estrangement. I work with people who have been cut off, people who found it necessary to distance themselves or set the boundary, and relatives caught in the crossfire. I also work with individuals navigating broader relationship issues, depression, and anxiety.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I weave these into therapeutic conversations along with Gestalt, Narrative, and Object Relations, tailoring our work to your goals and circumstances.

My academic and clinical foundation includes an MSW from UW-Milwaukee, advanced family therapy training through the Family Therapy Training Institute, a BA from the University of Notre Dame, and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Ultimately, my clinical training is backed by the perspective, pattern recognition, and grounded insight that come from more than six decades of lived experience.
