As a licensed professional counselor, I can offer you the support, tools, and strategies needed to manage these transitions effectively.

Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or uncertainty, we'll develop strategies to help you cope and thrive.

This includes faith-integrated cognitive-behavioral techniques, and other evidence-based practices designed to enhance your emotional resilience. Decision-Making and Clarity: We'll work on gaining clarity in your decisions and understanding their potential outcomes. Through guided exploration, you'll feel more confident and assured in your choices. Strengthening Relationships: Counseling can help improve communication and understanding within your relationships. We will explore how changes are affecting your connections with others and find ways to strengthen these bonds. Faith-Based Counseling: If you are looking to integrate your faith into your healing process, I offer Christian counseling that combines biblical principles with therapeutic techniques to provide holistic support. If you are unsure of your faith, or struggling with your faith, I provide a safe and encouraging environment to discuss your doubts and concerns. I will meet you where you are at in your faith journey! Building Resilience: We'll focus on identifying and overcoming the fears and concerns that are holding you back. By addressing these barriers, you'll be better equipped to embrace change and move forward with confidence. Exploring New Perspectives: Counseling provides a safe space to explore new perspectives and strategies for managing change.

This forward-looking approach will help you feel more hopeful and motivated as you navigate through changes. Ongoing Support: Change is a continuous process, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Regular counseling sessions will provide you with ongoing encouragement and guidance. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and I am here to walk with you on this journey towards personal growth and well-being. Together, we can turn life's challenges into opportunities for transformation and empowerment. About me: I am a dedicated licensed professional counselor who is passionate about helping people find a sense of balance and purpose in their lives. I have been in the counseling field since 2015. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling, creating a safe place to incorporate physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life. My goal is to encourage you and walk with you as you strive to reach your personal goals. With a collaborative approach, I aim to create a treatment plan with you that best fits your individual needs and unique personality. Free Consultation: I offer a free 10-minute phone consultation for new clients to see if my services would be a good match with your needs. To set up an appointment time click "contact" and send me a message. What to Expect: Wondering what to expect at your first appointment? The first session is a time to get to know you and to discuss your unique situation and your goals for therapy. It can be helpful to think of it as a conversation getting to know you and helping you know what to expect going forward. I aim to go at the pace you are comfortable with, ensuring you feel as comfortable as possible as we begin the therapeutic process. Often clients will meet with me every-other week when they begin sessions, but this can vary based on each client's needs. We will discuss frequency of sessions at the end of your first session. Payment Information: I do not accept insurance. Payments can be made via debit, credit, HSA (health savings account), or FSA (flex savings account) card. Pricing is listed below. I can provide a superbill if you would like to submit your own out of network claims to insurance. Exceptions: Please note, because my practice is self-pay I am unable to see clients who have Medicare or Medicaid through Wisconsin insurance due to the state's policy about out-of-network providers. Location: My practice is located conveniently inside Bosquez Chiropractic Wellness Center in Omro, Wisconsin. If you live out of the area, virtual appointments are a great option.
