Therapists in 53706
As a therapist, my approach is eclectic, informed by psychodynamic, humanistic, mindfulness-based and cognitive behavioral practices. I view each client's life as a constantly shifting ecosystem, and I believe that successful interventions are multifaceted. I strive to cultivate cultural humility in myself, and to help clients understand and re-craft personal narratives according to their values. In addition, I help clients to navigate romantic and family relationships as well as friendships. One of my primary goals as a therapist is to understand the unique and varied challenges of the LGBTQ community; being "LGBTQ friendly" is not enough.

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 believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and change. I work with families and couples who may be questioning their connection to one another, and with individuals who feel stuck, unmotivated, or afraid. As a family therapist, I encourage people to explore how the different systems they are a part of impact the quality of their lives. How does their family function? Their place of work? Their culture? Together we explore how making changes in ourselves impacts our relationships to these different systems. We change our world by changing our relationship to it.

I focus on helping clients strengthen meaningful relationships, establish a sense of meaning and purpose, and foster connection in their lives. I help clients move forward using practical solutions while also developing an understanding of the underlying issues that contribute to their struggles. Coming to therapy gives you a place where someone will listen without judging you and offer new ways of thinking about yourself and your problems, and I welcome the opportunity to help you create the life you want to be living.

An educator for over 20 years, I have worked with adults and children from widely varying backgrounds. As a psychotherapist serving individuals, couples, and families, I focus on identifying inherent strengths and innate potential. I utilize cognitive behavioral, narrative, and solution focused approaches along with mindfulness to create a collaborative, proactive therapeutic relationship. Pain, trauma, life struggles and relational difficulties are not defined by labels of mental illness. Discovering the true-self and addressing our unique patterns of thought and behavior are foundational to authentic change.

One of the most difficult aspects of reaching out for help is finding a safe place to express yourself. My focus is on creating a collaborative relationship in an environment that encourages trust and is free of judgment. My goal is to help guide you as you work to find your way through life's challenges while identifying and holding true to who you are.

Tired of being labelled "the problem?" What is your life story? How can it be shaped going forward? Let's focus on those positive "sparkling moments" and make the complexity of the overall situation the main focus of attention in a safe, secure, and empathetic environment. I believe you are the best expert on who you are and where you should go. We will explore your past, present, and future, and orient you as a "person in the environment," rather than an isolated individual.

My goal is to provide affordable counseling in an informal, friendly and confidential atmosphere-to create a safe place to talk about any concern-including topics such as stress, worry, sadness, loss, relationship difficulties, adjustment challenges, troublesome behavior patterns, life crises or trauma experiences. Some people seek help because they need a neutral sounding board. Others feel stuck or face issues that interfere with their ability to feel happy and productive. I believe in helping through a compassionate, strengths-based approach so that individuals can find solutions to their problems and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." --Albus Dumbuledore. Seeking therapy for yourself and your loved ones, is the first step to making your desire for happiness a reality. Although you may not know what makes you happy, the fact that you know you cannot continue to feel the way you do or be in your current situation, demonstrates your willingness to make the necessary changes toward a more fulfilling life.

I help women and college students who identify as emotionally sensitive. You may struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, depression, losing yourself in others, setting boundaries, or trauma. This heightened compassion is your super power! It is the source of your creativity, your passion, and your intuition! But in our culture, it can often be met with criticism leading us to feel as though we don’t belong. We learn to push away our emotions to gain acceptance only to feel more isolated. My clients want to step out of conditioning based in shame, patriarchy, and trauma and learn to trust their gifts, emotions, and intuition!

I view my clients as unique individuals. I help them identify their strengths and build on them to solve their core concerns. In my practice, bolstering a client's motivation for change is important. I provide accountability and support during the tough times--knowing that we all have challenges and choices in our lives. I am very well suited to working with LGBTQi persons and those with all levels of ability. I treat many concerns, however, I specialize in anxiety concerns and trauma (PTSD). I also work with those who struggle with Personality Disorders.
