Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Manitowoc County, WI

Hello, I am an experienced professional Psychotherapist trained in Brainspotting Phase 2, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Brainspotting locates points in the visual field that help to access trauma, anxiety, depression or behavioral problems that are held in the subcortical brain. This therapy allows the brain to process from the inside out and from the bottom up. This helps client's breakthrough into whole new levels of performing, healing, and wellbeing.

My approach to clinical work utilizes a solution-focused cognitive behavioral model of therapy. I not only believe in safety and coping skills as the root of personal change but also believe psychotherapy must offer more than the ability to cope. I promote thriving, rather than merely surviving. I aim to help clients reach their fullest potential through engaging dialogue and action. My support of Women for Sobriety confirms that through empowerment, people, become more capable, competent, caring and compassionate.

I have a passion for those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, behavioral addictions, identity and self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and sports performance. My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, faith-based, and incorporates tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. However, my utmost priority is understanding the person in front of me and adjusting my interventions to suit their unique needs. As a licensed professional counselor in training, I am equipped to work with older adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I will provide a compassionate, safe and nonjudgmental environment so that you can move past life’s challenges, develop new coping skills and live a more fulfilling, authentic life.

Relationships...with others and ourselves... are at the core of human experience. I work to empower couples, individuals, and families to live lives of meaning, connection, love, and happiness. I have dedicated training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for relationship healing. Grounded in research and regarded as the most effective approach to couple therapy, EFT works to help partners rekindle feelings of love, connection, security, and happiness. The goal is reconnection. I also utilize Brainspotting, one of the new generation therapies, to promote a more rapid and deeper processing, integration and healing from a variety of psychological problems.

Over the past twelve years I have worked in the mental health field in a variety of capacities, including inpatient units, residential facilities, and day treatment settings. My experience and training with adolescents, adults, and families in these settings has given me a practical knowledge and understanding when working alongside my clients to facilitate change. A significant part of my experience has been working with adults and adolescents coping with past trauma to adjust and move past stuck points, decrease depression, and move forward on the life they want to live.
