discovering healthier and truer ways of living;
living with hope, humor, and humility;
and holding fast to our dreams and authentic selves-  together.

Mental health is an ongoing, sometimes crushing process. As tough as mental health challenges can be, no one should have to face it alone. We all develop ways of thinking and coping to help us survive or reduce pain in certain situations. Problems arise when we continue to use those patterns when they no longer serve us helpfully in the life we’re living. But change and healing are more than possible- we are hardwired to grow and heal. This is not to say we need to be “fixed,” but rather we can use our own strengths to pursue more skillful ways of living with who we are and what we’re facing.

I opened Hold Fast Counseling Services, LLC to team up with clients to

• build awareness

• fortify internal and relational connections

• develop meaning in the intersections of our experiences and identities

• support development and expression of gratitude and joy

• and flourish!

Wherever you are in life and in your process, together we will approach it with dignity, honor, respect, integrity, and ruthless compassion.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Women’s Studies (2012) and master’s degree in Professional Counseling (2018) at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. In my personal life, I love animals, dancing, hardcore and new wave music, horror movies, coffee, good food, and spending time with family and friends enjoying the aforementioned things.
