Welcome to Open Space Madison
My approach to counseling and life coaching provides clients the space and inspiration to transform.
Open Space Madison is a place for heartfelt conversation and exploration of your hopes and dreams. A space where harmony and success are understood as vitally important to your life. I connect well with goal oriented, motivated people who want a better world. My clients are usually kind and compassionate people who have high hopes, high frustrations, perfectionism, deep love for others, wanting more, and believe in joy and love.
At Open Space Madison, it’s understood that we all suffer in our own way and experience pain and disappointments. My direct and nurturing style works well with people looking for empowerment, calming statements, affirmations and strong boundaries. My clients have challenges, and my services help them heal through inspiration, hope and accountability from the basis of nutrition, movement/exercise, and sleep. Our work together is meant to foster inner messaging such as “I am ok, I am good enough, I can do this.”
Other pain points my clients carry with them are in their relationships. Oftentimes my clients are stuck in relationships where the people in their life expect to be emotionally taken care of — and this dynamic is draining on my clients and can cause dissociation in their own lives. These relationships can be work or personal, and are in need of more care and sometimes even a sense of humor.

What Kind of Help Can You Expect?
Our sessions are customized to meet your specific needs. That said, my services can help in many ways, including teaching new communication skills, and practicing going after your dreams versus pleasing others. My goal is for you to experience an increase in believing in yourself with realistic growth goals. I reassure through active listening and strive to inspire through building confidence with new skills. Counseling can be a time for healing and grieving, a time for removing barriers and choosing joy. I provide smart, accessible, individualized care that can help you get unstuck. For over 20 years I have worked with all ages of people with a specialization in life transitions and times of change. I will show up with a positive attitude and open mind ready to support your change process.
