My website
Hello! I am the owner of Inner Balance Counseling, located in West Bend. I really enjoy helping those who struggle with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and adjustment issues- just to name a few. I have worked in a jail in the past for almost five years. I am open minded and work with clients in the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy working with clients on a holistic approach and having clients engage in various forms of coping skills and activities outside of the talk therapy session. I use CBT, which can be helpful in addressing maladaptive thought patterns. I look forward to working with you!
I have experience working with clients with eating disorders- those who are in a non-crisis state/medically sound. I use a CBT approach with a focus on holistic care. I can teach you different methods of coping skills and I will often times have clients engage in therapeutic processes outside of the therapy session. It's courageous to take the first step.
I am a single mom. I am a veteran. I served 7 years in the US Army Reserves. I have a yellow lab and three cats. In my free time I enjoy going hiking, domestic travels, listening to music, spending time with my daughters, biking, reading, enjoying time outdoors and in nature, and experiencing all that WI has to offer! I am passionate about helping others!

Our initial therapy session begins with an intake assessment- this is completed to gain a better understanding of my client's background and history. With each therapy session, we dig deeper into the root cause(s). We explore the issue(s), set goals for therapy, and discuss coping skills. Clients can check in with me in between sessions.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. The first therapy session involves clients completing a biopsychsocial assessment. This is used to obtain background info and the clients history. We will discuss the reasons you are seeking therapy. During treatment, I may challenge my client to help with maladaptive thought patterns to help my client think in a different manner.
