“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the
ending.” C.S. Lewis Carol believes people are uniquely valuable and inherently strong—these are truths she is passionate about helping clients embrace. From strengthening relationships to processing old wounds, her relatable, nonjudgmental approach helps clients feel safe and connected. Her clients are adults and couples, and struggles they face include grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and issues with self-esteem. Carol is trained in Brainspotting and EMDR and has found including these evidence-based practices in sessions expedites the healing process and helps clients feel calmer with improved clarity and functioning. She is also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an attachment approach that has been proven in research to produce long-term relief of symptoms for couples and individuals. Her experience as a registered nurse has deepened her appreciation of the interconnectedness of the psychological and biological aspects of each individual. Working as a NICU nurse gave her a passion for the transition to parenthood with its inherent difficulties. After raising her four sons, she returned to nursing in the area of mental health while earning her MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling because she had experienced first-hand the benefit of working with a therapist. Carol and her husband have lived in beautiful Wisconsin over twenty years. |
