LPC, NCC, CATP

My passion is to help individuals and families thrive after trauma by meeting you right where you are and walking with you on your journey out of survival mode. I work with adults, children, and families to gain an understanding of what is happening and the goals that hope to be achieved.

I work to help women understand and learn to support their body's natural rhythms and cycles through ayurvedic knowledge, lifestyle, and practices. Ayurveda looks to our inner nature and the natural flow of life around us. Ayurveda can help us understand and support our natural rhythms and cycles, allowing our body's natural ability to heal.

I’ve been teaching yoga for the past 11 years, and I’m constantly amazed by the connection it brings to the body, mind, and soul. Yoga is a gift I’m excited to share with others, encouraging individuals to feel “at home” in their own bodies. As a cancer survivor, I started gaining a deeper interest and understanding of eastern and holistic medicine, and I’ll be finishing my Master’s Degree in Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine this coming summer!  I’ve done my clinical training in Iowa at the Integrative Wellness Center, receiving supervision from MD’s and Ayurvedic Doctors, working with over 100 patients by the time I graduate.  I’m excited to start seeing patients at the Portage Family Healing Center, empowering people who come in with health concerns to learn about ways to activate their body’s own healing intelligence through the use of herbs, using food as medicine, and making healthy lifestyle changes.

SISU is a Finnish word that closely translates to strength of will, determination, and perseverance. Sisu is tapping into the strength beyond what you initially thought you had. As your therapist, I aim to help you find your sisu and overcome barriers keeping you from experiencing well-being and peace while providing the affirmation you need to feel supported.

My experience as a school social worker and a medical social worker in a tier-one trauma center has given me a well-rounded perspective of the unique challenges children, professionals, and adults experience in these settings. I specialize in evidence-based trauma treatment, family therapy, and multi-systemic therapy utilizing a holistic perspective.
