About My Clients

I am newly licensed therapist just starting my career off with Nova Mental Health Services, LLC. However, I do have years of pre-graduation experience working in the mental health field. I have worked all over the country and the world . I have experience working with Neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ issues, unsatisfactory relationships, divorce and separation, financial difficulties, anxiety, depression, distress during COVID, etc.

My Background and Approach

I have a range of experience working with young children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults. I have been in the mental health field since 2014 where I started off as a mental and social health consultant in Reykjavik, Iceland. There I provided care for adults with chronic mental disabilities. I then worked at Vinakot ehf. in Reykjavík, Iceland. I promoted emotional and social support to teenagers with various mental health diagnoses through health care and companionship. During my Masters program, I worked at Momentum for Mental Health, in San Jose, CA. I also provided counseling and support to clients with drug and alcohol use issues. I then moved on to work as a clinical therapist intern at Community-Based Counseling Program At JFKU in Pleasant Hill, CA before graduating and starting my LPC-IT position at Nova in the state of Wisconsin. My range of experience has made me more culturally competent, empathetic and affirming of all my clients.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in advocating and fighting for basic human rights and providing affirming space for my clients who struggle with social inequity. In my free time I am active in Mixed Martial Arts, Handball, Horseback riding and traveling (pre-covid). I love engaging in deep discussions with friends and spending time with those who are important to me.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
