Immediate openings in Appleton! Trained in brainspotting! Are you struggling to sleep due to racing thoughts? Are you self-destructing by overusing alcohol and drugs, having consistent suicidal thoughts, or making impulsive decisions? Are you suffering from overwhelming feelings of self-hatred and/or low self-esteem? Are you sick of feeling alone? In life, we are faced with many unique challenges. Sometimes, we need support and guidance from a professional. As your therapist, expect an unbiased, non-judgmental sounding board. Your issues are my top priority. You don't have to face your challenges alone.

Do you sense that you are "just getting by" in life? Do you feel weighed down by a sadness, restricted by anxieties, or just a sense of detachment and numbness? Are you concerned about a relationship or lack thereof? Or perhaps there are old, unattended wounds still hurting from long-ago. Eastern philosophies remind us that suffering is universal, but not necessary, and that it emerges from a disconnection from our essential nature. Therapy with me uses mindfulness practices and trauma-informed therapy (EMDR) to reconnect with that nature and inquire into the barriers that resist such connection to ourselves and others.
