My Background

Hi there, I’m Caroline and I’m a licensed therapist who helps individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges that are making life harder. This could be a child whose fear of school is becoming unmanageable, a young adult’s struggle with self-esteem in romantic relationships, a couple whose relationship has become contentious after having children, or an older adult grappling with more frequent loss and grief. I believe therapy should not be stiff or intimidating but rather a place that feels comfortable to challenge the things that are compromising your peace of mind.

I received my bachelor's degree in psychology and my master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I’ve gained experience in hospital, residential, and outpatient settings. I’ve worked with people facing a wide variety of challenges including children who’ve experienced sexual violence, adolescents with severe OCD, children and adults navigating anxiety and depression, and couples facing a wide array of interpersonal complexities.

I became a therapist because I find the mixture of exploring someone’s complex emotions, unique experiences, and conflicting thoughts to be incredibly rewarding. Although therapy requires great courage, it also requires the softer parts of you. The combination of the two can make an impactful change in your life that few other things can provide.

Outside of my professional life, you can find me cooking, exercising, and chasing a beautiful sunset.
