Welcome! I am so happy that you are here! I would like to provide information about what I feel I may offer as a counselor at Peace of Mind Wellness. I value the strong foundation of a positive therapeutic relationship. I believe in recognizing and building strengths, gaining insight and learning about yourself. I feel this will help foster growth and change.
I have a Bachelors of Elementary Education degree from Cardinal Stritch University and Masters of Science degree in Community Counseling from Mount Mary.
I have an extensive background as both an educator and counselor with over 25 years of experience. I have been a teacher, Dean of Students and I have taught special education before becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor almost 15 years ago. I have worked in counseling across the lifespan. I am trauma informed and person-centered. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Mindfulness.
Just a bit about me personally, I have been married for 17 years and we have an amazing teenage daughter and a lovely and loyal golden retriever. I enjoy reading, nature, hiking and being active. I love the arts and traveling. I love rom-coms and am fast becoming a Taylor Swift fan thanks to my daughter. I love the MIlwaukee Bucks and try not to miss a game!
