About My Clients
If you are an adult experiencing distress from grief, anxiety, trauma, depression or just need to make changes, you are welcome. I've counseled adults of many ages, genders and cultures, at a community college and a substance abuse treatment center. Sometimes, we need someone to walk with us, hold space with us and remind us of our strengths.
My Background and Approach
I work with adults who are willing to explore and work toward change; cultivating a better life, defined by them. In my last counseling position, I educated faculty and staff (at an Iowa Community College) with resources from The Safe Zone Project, for 5 years - attempting to create more and more Safe Space within our college. I bring a lifetime of experience in various areas from business to professional organizing, which ultimately led to my love of counseling and the mental health field. In therapy, we discuss your current life situation, including physical health, habits, sleep patterns and your collective life experiences, incorporating awareness, mindfulness, coping skills and exploring what works for you.. Together, we agree on a plan and continue to evaluate that plan & your progress throughout our counseling relationship. I am EMDR trained and continue to expand my education. I am licensed in Wisconsin and Iowa.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe you are the expert of your life - you have value and do not have to earn it. I led educational groups for Safe Zone training at a college, for over 5 years, and have counseling experience with the Queer community and adults of all ages. Clients have told me that I have a natural ability to connect with them, even when we meet for the first time. I use compassion, clarity and an open self-reflective attitude and strive to empower you to make changes and grow. I hold a commitment to help you experience life the way you want to.
