I hold a BS in Liberal Arts and French from UW-Milwaukee, along with a Certificat de Langue et Culture Française from the Université de Paris–Sorbonne. I later earned an MS in Community Mental Health from Southern New Hampshire University and completed a Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies through the Trauma Research Center.

For the past 20 years -including 13 at Journey -I’ve supported recovery across various settings and levels of care. My ongoing training has focused on complex trauma, dissociative conditions, medication-supported addiction treatment, and integrated mental health and substance use services.

‍

I work with adults struggling with problematic substance use, adult survivors of single-event, complex, or developmental trauma, individuals who feel disconnected from their bodies or the world around them, and those experiencing dysregulation in their central nervous systems.

Outside of work, I’m the proud adoptive mother of two litters of kittens and practice self-care through gardening and disco dancing.
