Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. I received my Masters from the University of Arkansas Little Rock and I have been practicing for 10 years. I help adults struggling with career stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves. I also help others struggling with, anxiety, depression, self esteem concerns and other concerns as needed.
In each session, I strive to address immediate concerns and symptoms at the onset. As we work through the daily concerns, I will focus on the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are occurring. I ask that people pay closer attention to their thoughts and practice skills agreed upon between sessions. For most individuals, there will be a symptom management exercise as well as homework assignments related to changes in thinking.
As a therapist, I look for the good in people. What is working? How can that be expanded into areas where there is struggle? I enjoy celebrating successes and helping people to see their growth. Everyone has the capacity for growth. No matter how well we manage life, there are always areas where we can improve. We are all on a journey to do this life well. Sometimes we just need a little direction on how to get there.
I rely on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques because I feel strongly that what we think about influences our mood and our behavior. I also rely on mindfulness strategies to assist with symptom management. Together I find the two therapy modalities allow for individuals to have immediate relief and as they work to make changes that are long lasting.
