Do you feel anxious even though your life is "fine?" Does your mind or body have a hard time calming down even when you're exhausted? My clients will say they're struggling on the inside but look fine and perform well at high function jobs or seem to handle parenting with ease. You don't need to fall apart to deserve support. You can find calm. You don't have to do it alone. My practice is unique because we use approaches that help you get "unstuck." I'm a licensed therapist with over 12 years of experience helping people like you move from surviving to thriving. Immediate openings for online sessions.
I use specific proven therapy approaches (like EMDR and IFS) to help people who have found traditional talk therapy unhelpful. Sometimes difficult experiences keep our brain and body stuck in a loop. I'm passionate about this work because I've seen how effective these therapy approaches can be and it's incredibly rewarding to help others finally feel free.
If this resonates with you, let's connect! You can schedule a free 30-minute phone or zoom consultation with me to see if we might be a good fit. I have openings for online sessions with women in WI and MN. Hope and peace are possible - with the right support, you can move forward.
