Anger Management Therapists in Elmwood, WI

Are you struggling with beliefs of "not being good enough", feeling guilty, sad, lonely, angry or worried often and don't know why? You are not alone. I’m passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults going through major life events or transitions. By learning to understand yourself better, seeking new perspectives and focusing on your own unique strengths, I know you are capable of living a healthier and more meaningful life. I strive to provide a safe, accepting, and warm environment to allow for self discovery, increased self awareness, and healing from your painful past. Invest in yourself, you deserve it.

I specialize in therapies with children and adolescents. I help children learn skills to cope with anger, anxiety, ADHD, and behavioral issues while supporting parents in gaining a better understanding of their child/adolescent's behavior.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere for clients to explore their relationships, values, strengths, and changes they would like to make. I strongly believe that everyone is capable of persevering through life's challenges and making positive change, if given the proper tools and resources. I emphasize building upon underlying resilience I believe every person has, through education, skills, and evidence-based approaches. I am a direct communicator but have a casual approach, emphasize compassion, and appreciate humor in sessions.

For over forty years I've helped individuals and couples heal their emotional wounds. If you grew up in a dysfunctional family, the traumatic effects of that environment, such as anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship problems, are with you to this day. To have the fully functioning life you want, it is essential to recover from the neglect, abuse, and lack of parental attunement from which you may have suffered in your early years. I'll collaborate with you to help you understand how your past affects your present, and how you can make the changes you need to improve your life and relationships.

Life is full of surprises and sometimes it is difficult to know how to handle these changes. I am dedicated to providing a professional, caring and respectful environment which encourages clients to collaborate in identifying areas of concern and individualizing goals. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques that are research-based and effective, clients learn ways to cope with those changes that were once viewed as troublesome.

I provide professional and clinical counseling. My goal is to promote the beauty of restoration and that healing and transformation are real possibilities. I believe that within a trusting relationship, I will be able to help my clients identify the pain areas that need the most work. As a licensed professional, I am committed to the highest standards of therapeutic practice and adhere to state ethical codes. I draw upon my clinical training and formal education to address each unique need. I am licensed in the State of Florida and the State of Wisconsin.

My approach to therapy is meeting you where you are at and letting you know you are not alone. I create a safe space to explore and process the issues you are facing and work to establish a stronger sense of well being. By challenging perspectives that do not serve you, we can empower change.

As an integrative practitioner, I meet clients where they are at in life. Healing and wellness is part of our life journey, and reaching out to others is often a necessary part of the healing process. Life hands us tough challenges, these are not meant to break us, rather to help us define who we are and better understand what our journey means. Often times we feel like we are broken, or simply don't fit in; these are opportunities to intentionally explore whether we are living our authentic life, or trying to follow someone else's path.

For over 15 years, I have had the privilege of counseling people of all ages and backgrounds that have struggled with anxiety, depression, marital conflict, family issues and academic concerns. Over the past five years, I have also started working with clients that have alcohol and drug related problems. Everyone is so unique. Therefore, my therapeutic approach is a nonjudgmental positive regard and it is tailored to fit the individual, couple and/or family. It has been very rewarding to watch so many clients make better choices and live a more full, enriched life. Every day is a new beginning!

I have a passion for helping individuals to process and improve their mental health. Whether you are adjusting to challenging life changes or feeling weighed down by your mental well being, I am here to listen and partner with you to develop a strategic and realistic treatment plan that best suits you and your needs. Your feelings are valid. I came into this field firmly believing that mental health is of the utmost importance. I utilize a strength-based, collaborative and client centered approach. I have experience in depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, substance use, BPD, marriage, divorce, and faith/spirituality.

Life can be hard - you don’t have to struggle alone! The decision to be open to begin therapy is a major step forward. If you're experiencing low self-confidence, doubt, grief, anxiety, shame, or stress, there is a path to help you create a more fulfilling life in the present. I provide a safe nonjudgmental space where you can feel supported, and empowered as you go on this journey.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, families and aging adults. I have worked with clients in the school, home, office and nursing home settings. I understand that every client has a different amount of experience in therapy or the mental health realm and it is my job to help mold their counseling journey to be a positive one. I enjoy helping clients find creative coping skills and forms of self-care. Together we can find new ways of re-framing and processing their triggers, symptoms and stressors. I appreciate working with clients who enjoy trying a variety of methods in a therapeutic space.

I have a passion for helping people re-experience themselves. Sometimes it is necessary to share your story with someone who can be objective and give you an alternative perspective. Life comes with many struggles, and there are times when managing them can seem difficult. We imagine our feelings as chains that hold us down. The energy we once had to live and love, no longer seems available. When we walk in shame and fear we give others our power and become powerless. We often fall into old patterns that don’t work for us any longer. We can feel stuck.

I provide therapy services to both adolescents and adults. I work with individuals and couples, with my clinical interests being: self-esteem, empowerment, healthy communication, mindfulness, communication skills, and life transitions.

If life is a road, it's not always a smooth highway. There are many paths, and knowing which path to take in your life is not always obvious or simple. Maybe you are down or unhappy and it's felt like this for a long time, but you feel stuck and unable to move on. Perhaps anxiety is a frequent companion in your life. Sometimes it may feel like nothing can change. If you have concerns about substance use, therapy can be a good place to talk about it - confidentially.
