Having experience in many of these aspects of life, allows me to provide a safe environment. You can overcome whatever life throws at you.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, to build rapport. We will get a general overview of what is causing stressors in your life, and your expectations while engaging in therapy. Once we have established goals we will create a treatment plan that will best fit your life and schedule sessions to reach your identified goals.
Strengths
Having worked with a wide range of populations over the past 10 years has allowed me to build experience and knowledge in all aspects of life. Having hands on experience with a wide range of mental health diagnoses I am able to utilize skills in difficult situations and manage difficult conversations. Providing a therapeutic and nonjudgmental approach has easily been developed, and being a Mother myself, I provide an empathetic approach.
Ideal clients
Are you struggling with anxiety and is it impacting your daily life? Do you need clarity with a recent life change? I have 8 years of experience working in mental and behavioral health, and over 15 years working with children. I serve clients with a vast array of mental health diagnoses. I specialize with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, postpartum, and trauma related disorders. Being a mother myself, I understand the daily challenges of motherhood/ parenthood. Let’s work together to identify and take control of daily stressors and work towards developing coping skills to better support building a healthier you.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am a licensed LCSW in WI and FL. I focus on utilizing individualized Cognitive Behavioral based treatments. This approach allows us to identify, negative thoughts, guilt, and irritability through open-ended questioning, thought challenging, and building self-awareness. Once we identify these factors, we can work together to understand what actions can be taken to regain control of our lives. Please message me for outside availability times.
