Are you feeling stuck, at the end of your rope, like there's no way out? Please know that you're not alone, you deserve help and you are so worth it! There are options to get the help you need but it starts with you. Many people need help but some are afraid, unable or unwilling to do something about it. We can't expect to see changes if we continue to do the same things everyday. As your therapist, my goal is to help give you the hope and healing you need to reach your goals, to find happiness and to be the best version of yourself. I am here with you in your journey and believe we can grow from our vulnerability.

Join me on a holistic journey toward self-discovery and healing. You may question: “What season of life am I in?”, “How am I handling the transition?”, “How does anxiety or depression show up for me?”, “Is it my body? Is it my mind? Or both?” When we understand our own unique challenges, even though overwhelming, we are able to navigate them easier. With a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, my approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based interventions tailored to your unique needs to promote well-being by exploring the intersection of mental and physical experiences.

Hey there! Sometimes life can really get us down, and it's my goal to offer a safe and healthy space where we can chat, laugh, vent, cry and process - together (plus enjoying the company and love from our furry friend - Archie). I provide psychotherapy to adults and children,. Often, I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Narrative and Person-Centered Therapeutic modalities. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - In training and working towards fulfilling post-graduate supervision hours to earn my full LPC. I obtained my master's degree from Lakeland University Masters of Arts in Counseling in November 2023.

Is trauma that has occurred in the remote or recent past affecting you? Are you experiencing flashbacks or other disturbing thoughts you wish could be managed more effectively? Are you feeling misunderstood or like you are just being labeled with mental illness when your mind is only trying to adapt to life's circumstances? I offer you an opportunity to use resources such as Brainspotting, a newer form of approaching traumatic stress and dissociative adaptations to heal your mind and help you feel more grounded. This innovative approach to healing helps you learn how to dip down into a relaxed state and heal yourself from inside.

Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.

The clients I work with are coping with not only addiction issues, but are having problems with depression, anxiety, trauma, impulse control problems, anger, and much more. I take a holistic approach to treatment, meaning that in treatment, we focus on the whole person - physical, social, emotional and mental. Addiction and mental health recovery is an active process, and I understand the process. If you are seeking a life of peace and happiness; of successes and reaching goals, I will be your guide.

Getting help can be one of the hardest steps to take. Shame, guilt, feeling trapped in life; it can be so overwhelming. Not to mention the anxiety of meeting a therapist for the first time. I am here to listen, to serve as a guide, and to help if you want me to help. The cliché is the axiom, “You’re stronger than you think;” the truth is you absolutely are, and you matter. I am here to help you along the way.

I have been working with clients in an outpatient setting for more than 12 years. I enjoy supporting others on their journey regardless of where they may be in life. I provide an environment where you can feel comfortable and work towards the best version of yourself. It is never easy to take that first step. Since you made it this far, there must be part of you that is ready to make a change. Let’s make that change together.

Trying to ‘do it all’ can be exhausting. And, even while feeling successful, it’s easy to get worn down and feel like we aren’t living as fully as we’d like. Life is hard and relationships are complicated. You deserve the opportunity to find happiness and fulfillment. Therapy creates an opportunity for you to take time for yourself, to think through what you want to be different, and to fix what’s not working. For years, I have worked successfully with individuals, couples, and families to help them increase satisfaction and reconnect in ways that they’ve been missing.

Are you struggling with overthinking, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted? Do you feel that past traumas and negative life experiences have left you feeling unworthy of happiness?

As a certified trauma professional, I use techniques to help people struggling with wounds from current and past relationships to move on from painful experiences.

Many of us go through a process of hoping for change, personal growth or, perhaps, acceptance within ourselves. I'm here to walk that journey with you and help you reach realistic goals to positively impact your daily life. I believe that establishing rapport between a client and therapist is the foundation in providing the best outcome for change. You'll find that my therapeutic approach is empathetic, non-judgmental, and transparent with a bit of light-heartedness. I work with a wide variety of clients with specialty populations that include healthcare workers, first responders, sexual assault survivors, and couples.

I have over 23 years of experience as a licensed therapist in the state of Wisconsin. I earned my MSW from Florida State University. I have advanced training in Brainspotting and developmental trauma. I have worked with a wide range of clients, including adolescents, families and adults, often focusing on stress and anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, parenting, depression and family dynamics. As an adoptee, I bring a unique personal lens to my therapeutic profession.

The hardest part about therapy is having to deal with those thoughts, feelings, and memories we've been pushing aside for so long. What makes it even harder, are our fears of being judged for who we are, what we've gone through, or how we've acted. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being your true self. I do this by showing you genuine compassion, empathy, and understanding as we work through the tougher stuff. As such, I work with children, teens, families, and adults whose social, academic/work, behavioral, physical, and/or emotional well-being has been negatively impacted by ongoing mental health struggles.

As a therapist, I am honored and humbled to be allowed into someone’s life to assist with goals, aspirations, and solutions to personal struggles. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for help. My passion is to help others see beyond their current viewpoint and offer feedback that can open doors that may not have been identified before. We all have a story and deserve the quality of life that we are all capable of achieving. What that is for you, is up to you. I look forward to being a part of that process while invoking optimism, solution-focused thinking, and support along the way. http://vital-traction-llc.square.site
