Licensed Professional Counselor
·LPCAbout
If you’ve been struggling with anxiety like the rest of us, stressing about your “it’s complicated” relationship, trying to make new moves or break old patterns, or just looking to have a safe, “made to order” space to talk about literally anything and everything else, you’ve found the right page! Especially if you’re: • A recovering people pleaser or HSP • A teen struggling with being a teen • A young adult figuring out college or adulting • Struggling to have/keep relationships • Need help going through your “baggage” Wandering through this life doesn’t always have to suck, and you definitely don’t have to do it all alone. Working with me isn't like the uber clinical setting you may have seen or experienced before! I like to describe my approach as more of a comfortable conversation with the benefit of confidentiality. I make it a priority to honor the values of authenticity and transparency in our work together so you can feel safe to share - no matter the presenting concern. I currently offer a combo of virtual appts in Wisconsin & in person sessions in Appleton, WI to increase access to counseling while encouraging life balance. I know this can feel like a luxury type of investment so I offer self pay options and take insurance. I accept UHC and am still pursuing more contracts. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation! **Specialties:** I find myself usually working with clients experiencing anxiety or conflict due to childhood experiences, current/upcoming life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and fluctuating relationships. This can include working on connecting how the past impacts you now, how the way you speak to yourself matters, and how to find new strategies and skills to improve the areas of life you find important. **Credentials & Experience:** I have over 5 years of experience working with teens, adults, and families in crisis settings, local agencies, the criminal justice system, and group practice. I also have unique experiences w/ trauma and adoption. I'm currently licensed in WI and plan to pursue additional trainings/certifications.
"I often combine best practices/treatment theories as I don't believe therapy is "one size/approach fits all". In your first session, we'll explore "why now?" in regards to starting your therapy journey and discuss what you would like the process to look like. We'll navigate any barriers, identify your strengths, and create a space where you can feel heard, challenged, and encouraged."
