Struggling with all life has tossed at you? Feeling overwhelmed with kids, relationships, and family? Working with an ADHD or anxious brain and feeling overwhelmed? Whatever it is, I’m here to help.

Hi! I’m Olivia. I’m an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist who works with all types of clients but I specialize in working with parents, women who feel overwhelmed, and families who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD stress, life transitions and, trauma.

I know how hard it can be to find the right therapist. I place great value on the therapeutic relationship. Research has shown us that one of the top predictors of successful therapy is the therapist and client relationship. I am warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and honest. In order to help my clients feel supported I focus on finding their strengths, being present with them, incorporating humor, and building trust. I know how hard it is to reach out for help, I’ve been there, but I also know the feelings of relief and freedom that can come from receiving help and addressing the challenges you face. It may be challenging to share your story, but I’ll walk through it with you.

I have a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and a Ph.D in Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities. I’ve worked in clinics, schools, children’s hospitals, and with families in a variety of settings. No matter where I’ve worked or what I’ve studied, I keep coming back to how important the family is. Luckily, I’ve found a career that allows me to connect with families each and every day who want to build calm, connected, and happy lives.

In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter, and dog. I am an aspiring gardener, knitter, and needle pointer, a lover of all crafts, and you can often find me in the kitchen or reading a book. I love being outdoors, traveling, hiking, or checking out events around town. As a native Wisconsinite, I am also a lover of all things cheese.
