Provider Bio:
Prior to joining the Oneida Behavioral Health team in September 2022, my prior work experience includes providing mental health and addiction therapy in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization treatment centers. Additionally, I completed three, year-long, practicums at Prevea Behavioral Health, Macht Village Programs and Golden House. Prior to becoming a therapist, I volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for CASA of Brown County and was a volunteer advocate at the Sexual Assault Center in Green Bay. My work, internship and volunteer experiences helped me to gain experience in working with survivors of abuse and complex trauma, adults and youth that struggle with severe emotional and behavioral issues, providing mental health, AODA treatments, behavioral support, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and group therapy.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my beautiful daughter, gardening, nature walks, writing, visiting botanical gardens, kayaking, and traveling.
