In my practice I focus on those who have been feeling "stuck." You may have been to see therapists before, but the core problem doesn't seem to go away. The core of many issues related to depression, anxiety, and other life challenges come in how we process and manage emotions. When feeling "emotionally uncomfortable," some of us might lash out and others of us might shut down. The type that shuts down might get very quiet, or say everything is fine when it is not fine, and be very uncomfortable with the idea that others might know what is going on in their heads. While this can keep us feeling safe, it also can feel isolating.

Waukesha, WI 53188
Client problems come in all shapes and sizes, with all kinds of different life experiences and reasons and needs. Problems are common in the world, and it is hard to shoulder the responsibilities set on our shoulders. It can feel lonely with the burden that people carry, and it seems reasonable to find ways to meet needs that are not being met. Sometimes these can be unhealthy habits that just cause more problems. Sometimes, it leads to a build up of pressure until everything is overwhelming and out of control. It disrupts our Serenity, and building this back up sometimes needs a helper.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in things that we cannot control, especially when those are the things that are getting in the way of our happiness. It's important to take a step back and put all of that energy and focus into the things that are within our control. I understand what it's like to feel stuck and not know where to go next. Life is constantly changing and it can be incredibly overwhelming. The beauty about life is that many things are temporary, and with the right mindset and tools, we can create the life that we want and deserve.

You are juggling many roles in your life, mom, wife, worker, housecleaner, etc. Holding all these roles is making you feel a little lost and you want a space to find yourself again. Maybe you are struggling with not being able to start or continue your family and the grief feels impossible to process. The transition into motherhood or the lack thereof creates a lot of challenges for women.

You feel like you have some insight into yourself but aren't sure how to take your own advice. People come to you with concerns and you can be so kind and caring but can't do that for yourself. Feelings of anxiety, of never being good enough, not only affect our relationship with ourselves, but they also can leak into our day-to-day lives; our relationships with friends, family, even co-workers. It takes a toll on our emotional well-being and impacts both our minds and our bodies. There is a different path; a path to healing and a path to rest, and you deserve to walk it.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
