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.

 

Integrative Psychiatric Care & Wisdom To Empower YOU

  • Attunes to your whole story, body, and nervous system patterns

  • Considers symptoms as hurt parts unique to each individual’s mind-body-spirit + context

  • Prioritizes your bodily autonomy and intuition as essential to treatment planning

  • Synthesizes personalized treatment intentions and interventions, conscientiously attending to all parts of your inner world and system

  • Can provide pharmaceutical consultations and passionately neutral education with options for clients desiring to better understand, consider, optimize, minimize, or simplify conventional psychiatric medications

  • Balances safety and clinical knowhow with your deepest goals, values, and beliefs

Embodied Trauma Repair with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

  • Evidence-based treatment that uses eye movements, body sensation processing, and memory reconsolidation to change the way distressing memories are stored in the brain

  • A deeply transformative approach to process trauma, grief, anxiety, and distress of all kinds

  • Guides you to digest and resolve painful experiences creatively without verbalizing story

  • Facilitates rediscovery of your innate wisdom and inner resources

  • Different than talk therapy, this highly efficient somatic processing can be integrated or stand alone—leading to inner resourcing and relief in each session

Full Spectrum Perinatal Mental Health Care

  • Compassionate approach to reproductive mental health from a mother who gets it

  • Supports mamas, papas, and gender-nonconforming parents in the messy, heart-expanding journey of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond

  • Honors the birthing year as a rite of passage and portal to deeper healing and self discovery

  • Invites you to process your reproductive history (including losses and abortions) and embody dialectical power and vulnerability

  • Integrates contemporary evidence with ancient ways of knowing
