Therapists in De Pere, WI

“I am a solutions-focused therapist. Therapy is about you and is highly individualized: You’re the boss. My job as therapist is to guide you to where you want to go.”

Have you ever wondered how to navigate loss or a traumatic event? Do you have a goal you would like to achieve, but feel there is something getting in the way of you accomplishing that? I believe that each person is an individual with their own unique challenges and that everyone could use a little help and guidance at some point while going through life. People come to me wanting to feel safe and heard. I, like many of you, have successfully sought help from a therapist at points in life. Therapy is a beautiful gift for you as a person walking through life.

Hey! I am so glad you are here. Starting the journey to take care of your mental health is both scary and exciting. So, whether or not you choose to pursue your journey with me, take a moment to give yourself credit for taking this first big step into wellness. In therapy, I like to take a goal-oriented approach. I feel it's very important to set goals (both big and small!) to help guide the therapy process, which is something we will collaborate on together. In order to help work towards your goals, I find it helpful to use a variety of treatment modalities such as mindfulness, self-compassion, ACT, ERP, DBT, and my favorite...CBT.

"Who we are and how we respond today is a result of what we have been through in the past." It is my goal to meet, connect with and accept you where you are at in life. I want to work with you using highly effective brain/body treatments to assist you in becoming a better version of you. I strive to help you live a better more integrated, healthier lifestyle with unleashed potential.

I’m incredibly passionate about increasing awareness and understanding of Infant Mental Health (Google it, it’s a thing!) and Perinatal Mental Health. Pregnancy, parenting, and all things related can be scary, exciting, and everything in between. And guess what…infants do more than eat, sleep, and poop, and are greatly impacted by their environments. Parents and caregivers deserve to be emotionally well, and there are many factors that can make this difficult, including one’s own history of being parented.

Plenty of weekday EVENING appointment times available. I hope to help people find within themselves the strength needed to live the life they want to live. Often times the way we view our emotions and then subsequently handle (or avoid them!) highly affects the quality of life we live. I believe that it's of utmost importance to truly start to understand ourselves in order to be able to align our values, goals and behaviors. Many people did not have positive role models in their lives to help them learn about their emotions and how to handle them.

I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, daily life stressors, relational conflicts, trauma, and PTSD. My goal is to help you improve the overall quality of your life by offering a safe and supportive environment in which you will gain insight, build coping tools, and learn to adjust unhelpful ways of thinking.

I believe the hardest part to entering therapy is the first phone call. With many years of experience working in a variety of settings, nothing gives me greater pleasure than assisting individuals in improving their own quality of life and satisfaction. I enjoy working with individuals across the life span to include children ages five and older, adolescents, adults and couples.

At times, we need a direction in life-a "starting point" to guide us back into balance. The realization of this began for me personally after being diagnosed with breast cancer while I was pregnant with my first child. It was during this spiritual and life altering journey that I fully recognized that we all have the potential to create optimal health for ourselves, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I believe that all forms of healing are rooted in the mind, body and spirit. With guidance, we can harness these elements to invoke necessary change to step into our power of self healing.

If you find yourself struggling to manage your emotions, cope with overwhelming thoughts and feel like you are stuck – know that you are not alone and that you can get through this. If you are unsure about counseling or have had negative experiences in the past – know that you are not alone and that you deserve to have support. If talking about emotions sounds intimidating or you are unsure of how to talk about them in general – know that you are not alone, most of us don’t learn how to manage emotions in school. If you feel hopeless, worthless, and alone – know that counseling can help you gain skills and find hope.

We can all use a little help at times. Sometimes having someone available to just listen and not judge you is a wonderful thing. I offer a free fifteen minute phone consultation to determine if my services are right for you. I have been a licensed psychotherapist practicing in Green Bay, WI for over thirty years. I provide individual, couple and family therapy for clients 12 years and older. Please contact me if you feel I can help. I look forward to speaking with you.
