Hello.

I am a mental health therapist in Madison, WI. I use mindfulness and somatic approaches thinking outside the box from traditional psychotherapy. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, and perinatal mental health.

Treatment Approaches

My therapeutic approaches include a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, systemic, and somatic mindfulness techniques.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) aids individuals in examining their inner thought patterns and self talk. Self talk is often the result of early childhood messages, societal expectations, or current relationships. These thought patterns have an impact on our emotions and behavior. Therapy can be helpful in recognizing and changing thought patterns to create a happier and more fulfilled life.

Somatic mindfulness therapy covers a broad range of reflection, intentional awareness, movement, and breath work. As a certified yoga instructor, I integrate gentle movements and meditation as a way to process through previous experiences and aid clients in the development of healthier coping strategies.

Systemic approaches offer a holistic lens in the therapy room assessing many parts of a persons life and creating balance within these parts. Previous family relationships, identities, spirituality, current relationships, and culture are all parts of a person’s connectedness with their world.
