New to Grow
Has life taught you to strive for control in order to create safety only to find that we live in an uncontrollable world full of ambiguity and unpredictability? Rather than being consumed with fear and loss do you find yourself seeking ways to cope only to find your methods of coping are hurting you? Perhaps you feel lost and unsure of who you are? You are not alone. I would be honored to work with you as you travel this healing journey. Starting in May of 2026 I will be offering virtual individual mental health therapy sessions for adult individuals in Wisconsin.
In our first session I would love to begin the process of truly getting to know you, your history, and what you want to accomplish. We can collaborate to come up with a plan to help you get to where you want to be.
I integrate EMDR with elements of ACT, DBT, parts work, and somatic therapy.
I offer virtual individual mental health therapy sessions to adults located in Wisconsin. I have learned how to help people on their journey of recovery from addiction. I appreciate a harm reduction approach. I learned to meet people where they are, whether they are striving for total sobriety or something else. I also learned to look for the why behind the addiction. What is the pain you are trying to numb with substances? By addressing the root of the pain with compassion and empathy while also providing psychoeducation and skills, I learned that people can find their healing path. While learning how to help people on their journey of recovery from eating disorders I recognized the link between disordered eating behaviors and individuals’ struggle for control within a world filled with uncertainty and ambiguity. Through processing the societal messaging around body image, the integration of the tenants of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the incorporation of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills I saw individuals progressing towards body acceptance, self-confidence, and the adaptive use of positive coping strategies. I have also had the opportunity to incorporate EMDR therapy and Ego State work/parts work while seeing individuals at an outpatient level of care. I had the privilege of holding space for people as they engaged in the deep work of healing from trauma. I learned to administer and interpret the Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation (MID) Analysis. This is a tool helpful to use in the assessment and diagnosis of dissociative disorders. This led to my increasing understanding of dissociation and how it is our body’s way of making that which is intolerable tolerable. With clients, I had the privilege of helping to facilitate the process of increasing their understanding and compassion for their inner system of parts.
EMDR
I have found EMDR to be a beautiful modality for helping individuals work towards healing from deep emotional wounds. I endeavor to help people relearn how to experience the present moment unhindered by the trauma of the past.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Your values are your life's compass pointing North. Having a clear sense of what you value most in life helps people identify their life direction and how they spend their valuable energy.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I find that incorporating DBT skill practice can be beneficial as people learn to create emotional safety in their lives.
