Self Esteem Therapists in Wisconsin

My practice focuses on those dealing with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, grief, overuse of social media, men’s issues, communication issues and relationship stress, self-care, and the development/maintenance of a healthy spirituality. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups ranging from children, adolescents, and adults. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology in 2019 from Concordia University Wisconsin and obtained a Master's Degree in Social Work in 2021 from the same University. I am a proud member of Phi Alpha Society and hold a Certified Advanced Practice Social Work (CAPSW) certificate.

Sometimes we can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. We can struggle to see our true worth or clear path to our goals. I will work with you to identify and work towards your goals by highlighting your strengths and encouraging personal growth through self reflection and constructive feedback. I am passionate about supporting my clients in building healthy relationships, especially with themselves. I provide clients with a compassionate space in which they are able to comfortably explore their identity and life concerns.

Are you finding yourself overwhelmed with anxiety? Do you feel a debilitating sense of loneliness that leaves you drenched in sadness? Are you having difficulty maintaining meaningful interpersonal relationships? Are you afraid of being yourself around others in fear of what they might think? Are you captivated by a deep sense of shame and inadequacy? Your feelings are real, and within the context of your personal story it probably even makes sense why you are feeling some of those difficult feelings.

Children and adolescents often struggle verbalizing their feelings which may lead to problems in school, difficulties at home, or in developing relationships.

I am a therapist with a deep passion to help children, adolescents, and adults who suffer with different behavioral and mental health issues. My therapeutic approach will always remain collaborative.

I love working as an art therapist. In sessions, we’ll focus on making art, self-exploration, finding solutions, and creative play.

Life can be a series of ups and downs. I believe that learning to find space for both is key to navigating life’s journey. I find true joy in helping individuals navigate the in-between while gaining understanding of the twists and turns.

That is about meeting others in the field of honesty and vulnerability, connecting beyond what is said and sharing what is deep within. My goal is to create a safe space where exploration and growth are possible.

Immediate virtual openings!

You want to appear successful and like you have it “all together,” but deep down you are struggling to manage your overthinking, perform when it counts, or feel like you’re “enough." Maybe you work really hard but still don’t get the results you are striving for. When this happens, you say mean things to yourself you would NEVER say to anyone else. Or, you worry about something you said or did, long after everyone else has forgotten about it. Plus, you aren’t always sure how you really feel or what to do with your feelings. You may question why things are so difficult when it seems like everyone else gets through life more easily.

I invite clients to discover/rediscover their individual and collective resources to cultivate a compassionate relationship with themselves and the world around them.
