Services Offered at Bloom Within
Bloom Within LLC offers mental health counseling services to adults across Wisconsin, with both in-person and secure telehealth options available. In-person sessions are offered in the Ashwaubenon/Green Bay area, and telehealth allows you to access care from the comfort of your own space.
At Bloom Within, therapy is relational and person-centered. I work collaboratively with you to understand your experiences, explore the parts of yourself that may be in conflict, and move toward balance and self-connection.
Bloom Within offers a limited number of sliding scale spots for currently enrolled college and graduate students. Please reach out to learn more about current availability.
What We Offer
-
15- Minute Consultation
No Cost
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a sense of what working together might feel like.
During this call, we’ll briefly talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping to get out of the process, and any questions you may have about my approach and future sessions.
There’s no commitment, just an opportunity to connect, learn more, and see if Bloom Within feels like the right fit for you.
-
Initial Assessment
$110- 1 Hour
Your first session is an Initial Assessment, where we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what’s bringing you to therapy. Together, we’ll explore your goals, background, and what you’d like to focus on moving forward.
This session also gives you a chance to experience what therapy will feel like. Collaborative, supportive, and paced around your comfort level. From there, we’ll create a plan that fits your needs and helps guide our work together.
-
Ongoing Sessions
$110/session- 50 Minutes
Ongoing therapy sessions will focus on your goals, growth, and overall well-being. Sessions are typically 50 minutes and held on a weekly or biweekly basis, depending on your needs.
Need a Longer Session?
Extended session $130/session- 80 Minutes
Some goals, topics, or moments in therapy may benefit from additional time. Extended sessions allow for deeper processing, slower pacing, or extra support when needed. These sessions can be scheduled occasionally or as part of your ongoing care, depending on your needs and availability.
Bloom Within offers a limited number of sliding scale spots for currently enrolled college and graduate students. Please reach out to learn more about current availability.
What We Treat
My Approach
My work is rooted in a trauma-informed, person-centered approach and integrates several evidence-based modalities depending on your needs.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. By targeting memories, negative beliefs, and emotional triggers at their root, EMDR allows them to feel less intense and more manageable. The goal is not to erase the past, but to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional relief.
-
I believe you are the expert of your own experience. Therapy is a collaborative space where you are met with empathy, authenticity, and respect while working toward growth and change.
-
This approach supports understanding how past experiences may shape present thoughts, emotions, and reactions while building practical tools to manage anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
-
I incorporate ideas from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand the different “parts” of yourself that may show up in challenging moments. By exploring these experiences with curiosity and self-compassion, we can make sense of patterns, reduce internal conflict, and create more balance and clarity.
-
We focus on identifying and building on your existing strengths and resilience. Therapy is not just about what is not working. It is also about recognizing what is already within you and using those strengths to support growth and meaningful change.

FAQs
-
Q: How do I know what kind of therapy is right for me?
A: You don't have to figure that out on your own. During your free consultation, I’ll take time to learn about your concerns, goals, and what you're hoping to gain from therapy. Based on that conversation, I’ll recommend a therapeutic approach that I believe will best support your goals. Whether that's EMDR, traditional talk therapy, or another evidence-based approach, I’ll help you determine what feels like the best fit.Q: What should I expect during the free consultation?
A: The free consultation is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation designed to help determine whether I’m the right fit for your needs. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, any questions you have, my approach to therapy, scheduling, and fees. If it feels like a good fit, I’ll help you get your first appointment scheduled.Q: Is everything I share in therapy confidential?
A: Yes. Your privacy is extremely important. What you share in therapy is kept confidential except in certain situations required by law, such as concerns about immediate safety, abuse or neglect, or court orders.Q: How long will I need to be in therapy?
A: Every person is different. Some clients come to therapy for short-term support around a specific concern, while others choose longer-term therapy to work through deeper patterns or past experiences. Throughout therapy, we’ll check in on your progress and what continues to feel most helpful for your goals. -
Q: Do you take insurance?
A: Bloom Within is an out-of-network provider, which means I am not contracted with insurance companies. However, some insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits that may reimburse you for a portion of the cost of therapy.If you’re interested in using out-of-network benefits, I recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card and asking:
• Does my plan offer out-of-network coverage for mental health services?
• What is my annual out-of-network deductible for mental health services?
• What percentage of each session will my plan reimburse after I meet my deductible?
• Is there a limit to the number of sessions covered each year?
• How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement?I can provide monthly superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your individual insurance plan and is not guaranteed.
Q: Do you offer sliding scale rates?
A: Yes. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots specifically for college students. Availability is limited and may vary throughout the year. If you’re a college student seeking support and cost feels like a barrier, you’re welcome to reach out to discuss current availability.Q: Can I use my HSA or FSA for therapy?
A: In most cases, yes. Therapy is generally an eligible expense for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). I recommend checking with your plan administrator if you have questions about your specific plan or eligibility. -
Q: Does EMDR really work?
A: Yes. EMDR is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related concerns. It allows you to process distressing experiences without having to talk through every detail of what happened.Q: How is EMDR different from talk therapy?
A: Traditional talk therapy often focuses on exploring thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and experiences through conversation. EMDR uses a structured approach to help the brain process distressing memories and experiences that may still be contributing to current symptoms. Many clients appreciate that EMDR does not require repeatedly talking through painful experiences in detail.Q: Is EMDR effective virtually?
A: Yes. EMDR can be provided virtually using methods such as self-tapping or guided on-screen eye movements. During sessions, I’ll work with you to determine what feels most comfortable and effective for you.Q: How do I know if EMDR is right for me?
A: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is commonly associated with trauma and PTSD, but it may also be helpful for concerns such as anxiety, panic, phobias, grief, and negative beliefs about yourself. During your consultation and initial sessions, I’ll learn more about what you’re experiencing and your goals for therapy. From there, we can determine together whether EMDR may be a good fit for you. -
Therapy works best when there are clear professional boundaries in place. If we already have a personal relationship (friends, family, coworkers, or social connections), it may not be appropriate for me to provide therapy services due to ethical guidelines and the importance of maintaining a confidential and unbiased therapeutic space.
If this situation comes up, I’m always happy to help connect you with a trusted referral so you can still receive the support you’re looking for.

Is Telehealth Right for You?
Telehealth therapy offers a similar level of connection, care, and confidentiality as in-person sessions with the added comfort and flexibility of joining from your own space. Many people find that meeting online helps them feel more relaxed and consistent with their sessions, since there’s no commute, waiting room, or added scheduling stress.
Online therapy might be a great fit for you if:
You have a busy schedule or limited availability for in-person sessions.
You feel more comfortable opening up from home or your own safe space.
You want a flexible, reliable way to prioritize your mental health.
All telehealth sessions are held through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, ensuring your privacy and confidentiality. You’ll just need a stable internet connection, a private space, and a device with a camera and microphone.
Telehealth can be just as personal and effective as sitting in the same room, often with the added comfort of having your pets, a cozy blanket, or a cup of coffee nearby.
*Please note that in a virtual private practice setting, clinicians assess for risk and may refer a client to a higher level of care if they are presenting as a safety risk to themselves or others.
