Couples Counseling Therapists in 53705

I help people with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness to get back in control and live the life they want. Our thoughts, memories, feelings, and bodily sensations make life so hard. Do they keep you from doing the things you want? Do you feel so overwhelmed you need to run or to escape? Do they make you regret the way you’ve lived? Do they keep you from people you care about? You don’t have to live this way. We can take steps to put you back in charge of you and your life. My mission is to help you be proud of the person you are, get you doing the things you want, with the people you care about most.

I am a generalist clinician who's passionate about working with individuals facing a wide variety of challenges. Life is complex and dynamic, as are the difficulties we face. I'm proud of the experience I can provide due to the complexities I've seen and successfully helped my clients navigate.

I work with children ages 10+, teenagers, and adults. My clinical interests include: anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, ADHD, and trauma. I offer art therapy to those who are interested.

You may be wondering how to choose the right psychologist for you. After appropriate qualifications, the next most important thing is that you will feel comfortable, connected and understood. This is hard to predict, but check the website, and phone or email as a first step. Listen to both your heart and your head. You may have to make a few tries to get the right person but it will be worth the trouble.

I work with a variety of clients, and I seek to create a personalized approach to meet each of their needs. I believe that my clients can experience profound and lasting change in their lives, and I empower them to implement that change. I believe in a person's inherent ability to heal, grow, and move towards positive change. I approach my clients with compassion and respect for their unique perspectives and life experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to identify lasting solutions to problems so that they can have more satisfying lives. I uphold the Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating approaches to wellness.

My approach comes from an underlying trust that when we slow down and listen to the body, heart, and mind, we will find what we need to take that next step toward greater freedom in our relationships and our lives. My intention is to create a space where you can befriend yourself and your life, and in so doing, open up new avenues of healing, creativity and energy.

Sliding fee scale available. Life is complicated, finding a safe space to express yourself doesn’t have to be. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where anyone can bring any issue, no matter how personal or intimate. As a systemic therapist, I strive to look at every facet of your life, how they can affect you and how we can leverage them to best achieve your personal therapy goals. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families in different environments, including telehealth.

I help individuals and couples to live fuller lives by addressing anxiety, depression, and a wide range of other personal issues. My goals in the initial consultation are to start getting to know you as person, to learn about what has brought you in, and to begin defining how we might work together. My approach to therapy is versatile. I have training and experience for clients who are looking for the symptom relief of a more structured approach, or for a longer-term therapeutic experience that explores and addresses the nuance, depth, and complexities of your life.

I work to make the process of therapy a positive and effective one where people feel listened to and supported. It's a privilege to work with young to old wanting something to be better or different, as well as managing stress. I offer counseling and consultation to children, teens, adults and families.

I believe that when we understand the layers and unfolding of our own complex stories, we can find compassion, empathy, and inner peace more easily. In my practice, I aim to create a safe, trusting space for every client, where we can work towards identifying and facing your concerns; discovering and cultivating your strengths; and ultimately, developing deeper empathy for yourself and others. Our work together could be brief, and focus on a few distinct concerns; alternatively, it could be longer-term, and focus on uncovering and processing the underlying causes of several issues.

***I am not accepting new patients at this time. Returning patients can leave a message and I will get back to you.***** I work with straight and queer identified individuals and couples addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, infertility, grief and loss. I have been in practice 23 years and the people I work with have described me as warm, sincere, non-judgmental, and funny.

We all face challenges in our lives. Sometimes we get through them easily and sometimes we get stuck. Sometimes the thoughts of past challenges stick with us and influence our day-to-day activities. I believe that it can be helpful to talk through these thoughts and situations to gain clarity and decide how you want to move forward. I see my role as being a supportive, non-judgmental, safe place to explore your concerns. Everyone's needs are different, but I can help you make plans for changes in your behaviors or to find a new way of thinking about difficulties.

I enjoy working with persons of all ages, on a variety of topics. My work includes individual, couples, consensual/ethical non-monogamous relationships and families. I am part of the queer community and work extensively with issues involving the LGBTQ+ community. Another area of interest in my work has been with perpetrators of sexual abuse/assault and persons struggling with sexual/sexuality and gender issues. I have lived abroad and enjoy working with persons from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds now residing in the US.

Are you sick and tired of feeling “sick and tired?” Are your negative thought patterns, limiting self beliefs and anxiety holding you back? Or maybe you are looking for someone to provide you extra support while navigating the highs and lows of life? Whatever your reason may be, I’m here to tell you-it is VALID and you deserve to take some time and space to heal, learn and grow.
