Virtual Therapy for Anxiety & Depression in WI & IL
As humans, it is normal to experience negative emotions. I believe anxiety & depression are not signs of weakness or something “wrong” with you. They are natural responses from your nervous system trying to protect you.
​
In my approach, I gently de-pathologize these experiences, honoring them as important parts of your story & your inner world. My goal is to support you in discovering new ways to relate to yourself with curiosity & kindness, so healing feels possible & authentic.
Reframe Negative Thoughts with CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, & behaviors.
We'll work together to identify and challenge negative thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and depression, such as worry, self-doubt, or catastrophic thinking.
By learning to reframe or challenge these thoughts and replace them with more balanced, realistic perspectives, you'll gain the tools to break free from the cycle of distress.
Build Psychological Flexibility with ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a mindfulness-based approach that helps you build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult thoughts and emotions rather than avoiding them.
In ACT, we work together to help you develop a healthier relationship with your inner experiences—whether that’s anxiety, sadness, or self-doubt—so you can stop struggling with them.
Through ACT, you'll learn to stay present, take committed action aligned with your values, and focus on what truly matters to you, even in the face of discomfort.
Therapy Tailored to You
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and every person’s journey to healing is unique. That’s why I take a flexible, individualized approach, combining techniques that best suit your needs.
​
In our sessions, I blend motivational interviewing to help you explore your own reasons for change, and support you in setting meaningful, realistic goals.
​
I use a strengths-focused approach, helping you recognize and build upon the strengths and resilience you already possess.
​
Throughout the process, I maintain a client-centered, compassionate approach, always respecting your autonomy and unique perspective, letting you lead the way.
Self-Compassion: A Key Tool in Managing Anxiety & Depression
“When we learn to treat ourselves with the same kindness and understanding that we offer others, we create a safe inner environment where all parts of us — even the anxious or depressed ones — can rest and recover. This compassionate presence allows the nervous system to settle, which opens the door to healing and growth.” - Kristen Neff
