Therapists in Eau Claire, WI

Are you or a loved one feeling disconnected from your/their true self? I use art and creativity to help clients heal from difficult experiences and reconnect with life. As a trained art therapist, I work with individuals of all ages using a variety of art media and psychological understanding, to become more engaged, resolve past challenges and feel less anxious and depressed. Art therapy uses meaningful expression to extend beyond words alone and develop a stronger more resilient self.

My style of therapy is unique. It is designed to engage the full person and to integrate our past, present, and future experiences into a congruent and comprehensive image of our true selves. Life is difficult. It just is. Learning to accept our emotional experiences honestly and non-judgementally can be hard. But this is where I truly believe healing is created. I work well with clients who like to ask tough questions and are willing to be open with their experiences with me. I will provide a direct and compassionate approach. You will get to know me just as much as I get to know you!

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced significant trauma. When clients do not know where to turn or what to do, I believe it is important to support them in their journey of processing and healing with providing them with the skills and information to help them. I also enjoy working with new parents in helping them reach their goals of healthy parenting.

I have experience working with adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger management and substance use concerns. I also have an interest in working with individuals who are dealing with grief, postpartum and perinatal depression, mood regulation issues, as well as women's issues. My hope is to support my clients in finding meaning and purpose in their lives, in whatever way that looks to them.

Life is hard, plain and simple. Life is even more difficult when you or a loved one are struggling with mental health and people around you are constantly invalidating and dismissing those real emotions. The stigma that surrounds mental health is powerful—it can make the idea of therapy seem as though there is something wrong with you, when in reality, there is such power in realizing you need help and reaching out for it. Sharing your story in a confidential space may seem daunting, but ultimately, the process can lead you to greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and most importantly, a more fulfilling life.

As a provider, I value meeting clients where they are at and supporting them to discover what they want out of therapy and life. In therapy, I think it is important for both the provider and the client to be genuine, responsible, and compassionate to best work towards the client's goals. I value helping clients to see where they have power over their life. I appreciate the opportunity to support clients in deciding what they want to do with the decisions/options they have.

I enjoy working adults, children and families to help them discover the best approach they can take to their current life situation. I have experience working with individuals and families who struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, substance use and trauma.

Relationships impact every aspect of our lives. Therefore it is especially problematic when the relationship with your spouse or partner is losing hope, joy, and satisfaction. Perhaps the distress is due to communication, betrayal, lack of care, expectations, or any other number of relational issues. If you are experiencing disconnect and pain within your primary relationship, reach out. You do not have to walk through this type of distress alone.

I am passionate about what I do. Helping people take control of their lives, especially their emotions, is what I do best.
