Conscious Practice is a holistic healing mental health practice with unique relational care, rooted in the bluff-lined river valley of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
I’m a holistic nurse practitioner — like a midwife for your mental health. I offer embodied trauma processing, inner parts work, ketamine assisted therapy, & integrative psychiatric wisdom.
In-Office & Online Sessions for Wisconsin, Minnesota, & Iowa
Bring your whole self.
Sometimes when we reach a place of relative safety in our lives, paradoxically symptoms can emerge, growing louder, calling our attention to care for ourselves in a new way.
Maybe you feel stuck in the past. Or too busy worrying about the future to enjoy your life today. Perhaps you're bone-tired, overwhelmed, out of alignment, or don't feel like yourself. Or from the outside things appear great, and you wonder, why am I still a mess inside? Part of you feels ready to set down whatever pain burdens you. Let's get curious about that!
If you're considering a new approach to your mental health, I would love to be a resource to you.
At Conscious Practice, I offer a radical healing relationship with somatic and psychiatric tools to help you nurture regulation and relief from the roots up.
