JC Counseling

First and foremost, I am Racine born and raised, then moved to Minnesota to pursue my education and training as a therapist. I still have a deep connection to my hometown and want to make a positive impact and give back to community that helped shape who I am today.

I strongly believe in utilizing building a positive rapport and relationship with each of my clients and genuinely taking the time to get to know everyone. I provide a calm and safe environment to work on building the skills necessary to work through any type of problem that occurs in an individuals life.

You have potential to achieve great things, and I want to try and help you get there, or at least get started. 

I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelors in Psychology and then completed a Masters in Counseling Psychology at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. I earned my PhD at Walden University.

My practice includes children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years working with children and adolescents in a variety of settings as well as mental health crisis intervention. I also have a specialty of working in clinical settings with children, teenagers, and adults on the Autism Spectrum. With significant experience with this population, I am able to offer therapeutic services to work on enhancing a variety of skills ranging from social to coping. Parental support and strategy based services are also available. I favor counseling techniques based upon building a positive relationship and working through person centered techniques.

My clinical specialties include ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, child and adolescent struggles, life transitions, families, skills training, and individuals struggling to cope with infertility difficulties.
