About
As a licensed mental and behavioral health provider, I partner with caregivers and professionals in a child’s life to support the social‑emotional development of young children. Through assessment, observation, consultation, and evidence‑based strategies, I work collaboratively to build skills, support provider wellness, and help create nurturing environments where children can thrive.
I am a rostered child–parent psychotherapy provider and am endorsed as an infant and early childhood mental health specialist (IECMH‑E). I’m passionate about supporting children of all ages—especially those under 6—and their families, knowing that early relationships and experiences lay the foundation for lifelong development, resilience, and well‑being.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, traveling, and finishing creative projects. I also once made it to the finals of a rock‑paper‑scissors tournament.

Ratings and Reviews
Why doesn't this provider have ratings?
At Children's, you can expect the very best care and service from all our providers — but not all will have ratings or reviews displayed online, for a few possible reasons.
The provider may:
- Not have received the minimum number of reviews (to ensure accuracy, we require a minimum of 30 patient surveys before we develop each provider's rating)
- Care for patients only as part of a team
- Not see Children's Wisconsin patients
