Attachment-based Therapists in Wisconsin

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? You’re stuck in this cycle that you can’t consciously figure out how to change. Nobody understands and the shame gets deeper. Maybe you can’t shake the anxious voice in your head, you can’t escape the depressed part of you that keeps creeping in, or you keep hitting self destruct. Whatever the reason, I am proud of you for seeking help because being vulnerable is not easy. I want to create a nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self and explore deeper levels. You are the expert on yourself. I want to help you find your stuck points so that you can move for forward.

A Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years in the behavioral and mental health field, I have experience providing behavior modification and mental health therapy services in a variety of settings including day treatment and residential treatment programs for at-risk youth, a non-profit community agency serving individuals with physical disabilities, and an outpatient mental health clinic serving children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to experience working with a diverse population of clients due to my work in various parts of the state including La Crosse, Green Bay, Janesville, Beloit, and Madison.

I am happy to travel along with you as you embark upon your healing journey. I strive to meet you within a space where you can safely explore your internal world. While it can be difficult to discover your inner voice and experience a felt sense of safety, each therapy session will give you a chance to reconnect with yourself and find what gives you meaning.

My approach centers on the mind-body connection. My goal is to facilitate deep healing with psychosomatic therapy. Through interpersonal and systemic traumas, unmet needs throughout life, and generally overwhelming situations, disconnection and an inability to cope can arise. Using approaches, like IFS and Brainspotting, we will work together to process emotions and distress and increase your ability to be present in your life. Through an attuned presence and your mindful awareness in therapy, you can engage in healing and connection to yourself and the world around you.

I provide a safe place for individuals and couples to work through feelings about relationships, life transitions and adjustments, grief and loss, health problems, workplace challenges, spirituality and recovery issues. I help people cultivate insight and coping tools to navigate life's struggles with more confidence and grace.

In my practice, I'm dedicated to providing a space where you can feel truly seen and understood. My primary goal is to create a supportive and safe environment so we can explore the signs that point toward healing, inner wisdom and self-honoring.

Drawing from an attachment-based lens, I integrate elements of mindfulness, interpersonal processing, and cognitive/narrative therapies.

​Hi, my name is Gabi. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for Wisconsin. I am also licensed for Telehealth therapy for the State of Iowa. I hope to join you on your current journey! I understand it can be intimidating to search for a therapist. I have extensive experience working with clients who experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem/self-worth, career unease or dissatisfaction, perfectionism, relationship conflict, breakups, family conflict, life transitions, and emerging adulthood. I have served a multitude of clients in marginalized communities, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+, and low-income communities.

Are you looking for something different when it comes to therapy? I believe therapy can be more relaxed & not always serious & "stuffy". My goal is for you to have an experience of comfort and encouragement while also working through difficult situations and feelings. We talk about your concerns but also about your strengths & looking at things from different perspectives. During these conversations, we can laugh about some things, have a cup of coffee/tea together and color a picture. I work hard to provide a positive, accepting and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to talk about your reality and truth.

Thanks for visiting my profile. Are you struggling to feel connected to yourself and those around you? Feeling depressed, anxious, or lost? I would love to hold space with you while you explore the inner workings of all things related to you. I believe that as human beings, everything we do is relational, therefore, I believe therapy offers the opportunity to heal with another person being present. I have been working as a clinical social worker for the past 12 years. I currently offer telehealth services in Minnesota and Wisconsin to individuals 18 and older.

Nicole's therapeutic approach is rooted in an eclectic framework, which includes elements of attachment-based therapy, somatic experiencing therapy, ACT and EMDR. She tailors her approach to each client's unique needs, prioritizing the therapeutic alliance with an emphasis on a non-pathologizing perspective. Nicole prioritizes helping individuals navigate multi-systemic oppression while embracing their intersecting identities. She remains client-centered, but also embraces the opportunity to incorporate humor and insights when beneficial, fostering authenticity and connection.

Would you like to feel more inner peace and joy, and be freer to live the life you truly desire? Do you feel anxious, depressed, stressed out and stuck in situations or relationships that make you feel frustrated or even hopeless? Or maybe you have tried traditional approaches, but they didn't feel like a good fit for you. My wholistic approach to healing and growth using a unique combination of experiential methods helps you understand what patterns might be keeping you stuck and in pain, and gives you the tools you need to find relief and step into new levels of love for yourself and your life, fulfillment, and happiness.

Are you looking for relief from daily stressors and support in building a healthier future? I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families providing systemic, relational therapy to all clients. My therapy approach is client-centered and collaborative, focusing on client’s strengths to inform treatment. I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and EMDR into my therapy practice. I am passionate about helping clients process life transitions including working with adolescents and young adults.

I bring to my work a lifetime of experience with many different people in many different circumstances. My early life experience as a registered nurse enriches me as a psychologist and provides me with a unique perspective in navigating the path towards healing. I believe that the psyche holds within itself the power to heal, but our egos often get in the way. Through the struggles of life, we can lose contact with our own deep well of inner wisdom. My focus is on helping individuals develop the tools to re-connect with their true vital selves and restore balance.

I have found that humor, empathy and understanding, for oneself and others, are key elements in building relationships with people. These qualities are the foundation of all good psychotherapy. I am comfortable working with people from varying spiritual traditions. My abilities are well suited to people who are emotionally sensitive or traumatized. I have worked well with individuals who have had treatment failures in the past, people who are creative, gifted individuals, adolescents and children. Play therapy is effective with children who have cognitive delays.

Life and the world today can cause a whirlwind of emotions that can be difficult to manage. I want to help you find relief, strength, purpose and more. We all have positive and special qualities that can help when we are feeling so much, and being heard without judgement can be empowering and the beginning to lifting some of the emotional pain.

Do you feel anxious or depressed? Are you having trouble with relationships, and as a result feel misunderstood and alone? Are you in a rut and find it difficult to move forward? You don't have to live this way any longer. You are not alone! I work with people who struggle with these issues and more! Let me be a listening ear and allow me to provide the tools and skills needed to improve the quality of your life. I help my clients to experience a better understanding of their problems and ways of living that lead to peace.

I work eclectically and flexibly with adults of all backgrounds seeking therapy because of anxiety, depression, trauma, and other issues that block our ability to feel peace and joy in our lives.  Perhaps you find yourself sinking deeper into depression, lacking the enthusiasm you once had for life.  Maybe you find yourself overwhelmed with anxiety.  Perhaps you're feeling it's time to dig deeper and heal old wounds.  Or maybe you have experienced a severe trauma, and life has never been the same since.  I am here to hold space for and to work with you on all levels: mind, heart, body, and spirit. 

I view psychotherapy as a powerful tool for breaking out of confusion and pain. I work with people seeking help with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, performance, life transitions, job problems, relationship issues, loneliness, and unhappiness. I actively and compassionately work with individuals (adults and adolescents) to help them regain a sense of hope, meaning, and connection in their lives, improving their coping skills and to manage daily stress and overcome destructive behaviors. As a therapist, I work with people to create the lives they want, allowing them to interact more successfully in their families, relationships, and the broader community.

I am experienced therapist who helps individuals and couples address challenges, enrich relationships and achieve deep insights into their personality and their emotions. My clients find that I offer a pragmatic, intelligent and empathetic response to their concerns. I focus on the immediate challenges that my clients are facing, while helping them to see themselves and their relationships in deeper way.
