Rooted in connection. Growing towards healing.
When a child or teenager is struggling, the whole family can feel it. At Birch Grove Family Therapy, I provide warm, practical, relationship-centered therapy for children, adolescents, and families in Green Bay and throughout Wisconsin.
I work with children and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and other mental health concerns. I also support parents and caregivers who are trying to understand what their child needs while navigating their own worry, uncertainty, and exhaustion.
My approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens within the context of safe, supportive relationships. Together, we work toward greater emotional regulation, stronger family connection, and practical tools that can make everyday life feel more manageable.

When your child is struggling, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Some families come to therapy because their child is having big emotions, struggling at school, withdrawing from others, or experiencing anxiety or depression.
Others arrive after a much more difficult season-perhaps following suicidal thoughts, self-harm, a psychiatric hospitalization, partial hospitalization program (PHP), or intensive outpatient program (IOP).
I have experience working with youth and families during and after higher levels of mental health care. Therapy can provide an important bridge between crisis stabilization and returning to everyday life.
Together, we can work on:
-Understanding and managing intense emotions
-Building coping and distress-tolerance skills
-Addressing anxiety and depression
-Supporting children and teens experiencing suicidal thoughts or self-harm
-Strengthening communication between parents and children
-Helping caregivers respond to difficult behaviors with greater confidence
-Rebuilding trust and connection after a mental health crisis
-Creating a plan for maintaining progress after hospitalization, PHP, or IOP
-Navigating changes at home, school, and within family relationships
Not all therapy looks the same.
My work also includes young children and their caregivers, with a focus on attachment, early emotional development, and the parent-child relationship. For young children, therapy often looks different than traditional talk therapy. Through developmentally appropriate approaches and caregiver involvement, we can work together to understand what a child's behavior may be communicating and help build stronger emotional regulation and connection.
Whether your family is navigating everyday challenges, a difficult transition, or the aftermath of a mental health crisis, therapy can provide a place to slow down, reconnect, and fin a path forward.
Sessions at Birch Grove are 50–90 minutes depending on the service. We typically begin with an initial consultation to understand your goals and determine the best path forward. I offer in-person sessions at our Green Bay office and virtual sessions across the state of Wisconsin.
My approach draws from trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, attachment-based approaches, and family systems perspectives. I also incorporate elements of play therapy and somatic therapy.
I offer private pay options and work with several major insurance plans. I also offer a sliding scale for those who need it; finances should not be a barrier to quality mental health care. Scheduling is simple — you can book directly online or reach out to me first if you have questions.
Whatever brings you here, you will be met with warmth and respect. There is no story too complicated, no family too messy.
