About Me
I believe each person is the content expert of their life and each person embodies the pearls of wisdom within them to make the changes in their life. I am comfortable holding the space for honest and raw emotion with empathy, compassion, and understanding. I utilize reflective listening, educational tools, external resources, guided / somatic exercises, and humor to support emotional healing and personal growth. I support individuals in recognizing and understanding their journey as part of their resilience and strength. I support people to recognize and change patterns of behavior and communication which can result in feelings of control, achieving goals and getting your needs met. I support people struggling with life transitions, family dynamics, difficult relationships, trauma, and/or feeling stuck in life.
Education & Experience
I use a strength-based approach to support individuals in recognizing their own skill and ability to be successful. The basis of my approach includes Systems Theory, Family of Origin, the Person-Centered Approach, Somatic Resourcing, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing. My Formal Education and Training: • Masters in Psychology with an Emphasis in Systems Counseling from Saybrook University – Leadership Institute of Seattle (LIOS), Washington. Major coursework included Bowen, Family of Origin, and Systems Theory. • Double Major Undergraduate Degree for Criminal Justices and Sociology with a Concentration in Human Services from Edgewood College, Wisconsin. • Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor -I (CADC-I)
