Therapists in Oregon, WI

My areas of speciality include stress and anxiety, managing ADHD, burn-out, and high-stress careers. I work with people around their interpersonal relationships and their relationship with themselves, with realistic understanding of the demands of the modern world. I work well with clients who might not "like therapy" generally, and still recognize they might benefit from talking to someone. I also work with men looking to change relationship and emotional patterns, and have extensive experience with professionals and professional students.

Parenthood can be confusing, isolating, & not at all what we were expecting! I am passionate about collaborating with individuals across the spectrum of pregnancy & parenthood, including new parents, queer parents, non-traditional families, non-gestational or adoptive parents, those who have experienced loss or infertility, & birth parents & those impacted by adoption. I also provide unbiased, evidence based pregnancy options counseling. I also offer support with adjustment to parenthood & guidance in gentle & respectful parenting for secure attachment.

Navigating and healing from difficult life events can leave you feeling lost or overwhelmed. Together, we can build more resilient ways to relate to yourself and those important to you. As part of this work, I create space for reflection and intentional growth, helping clients find ways to strengthen their connections with others.

We love to collaborate with clients to help them draw from their own expertise, build on their own positive values, discover their own skills, and use these new tools to work through conflicts and hardships. We are systems therapist. What that means is: we like to approach problems that people have within the context of social, political and cultural storylines that influence the way we view ourselves and our own personal stories. We use this same approach in family therapy to seek ways to change the way the family system works rather than trying to "fix" a specific family member.

Often times throughout life we find ourselves feeling disconnected. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, untethered and lost without any sense of direction. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients as they navigate and discover the path to their most authentic self. I strive to provide a safe space where clients feel comfortable in exploring their past, rewriting personal narratives, and forging an understanding of self that enables living presently. Together we'll discover your strengths, while exploring areas that crave nurturing and healing.

I am welcoming new clients who are looking for help with life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, or traumatic experiences. I currently have the capacity to serve older teens and adults via telehealth using a wide range of evidenced-based techniques and approaches. Whether this is your first time in therapy or not I believe in equipping you with knowledge and tools to use throughout your life to overcome behavioral and emotional barriers. If you are unsure of your goals or ideal outcomes, we collaborate to outline what you hope to change, improve, and accomplish and use outcome metrics to measure progress.

I understand that starting therapy can be a scary process. I work to create an open and inviting atmosphere for everyone who walks through my door. It is important to feel like you have a "good fit" with your therapist, which is why I take the time to listen to what brings you in, hear your personal goals and explain what you can expect from therapy. It's not my job to judge, blame, or take sides. I will work with you to provide applicable tools and resources, identify your personal strengths and offer new ways of communicating to provide relief.

In a safe and non-judgmental environment, I strive to create a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship with each of my clients based on the practices of systems theory and marriage family therapy. My goal is to help you utilize your strengths and work toward enhancing a sense of well-being and personal satisfaction within your Self, so you can say "I Am Good" and believe it.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with individuals, families and couples, struggling with past trauma, infidelity, trust, affected family members, suicidality, preparation of commitment, and next-step family planning.

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.

Individuals looking for counseling are often struggling with issues that have developed over time. Often, these issues can be caused by painful relationships, work environments, family problems, traumatic events, health issues, alcohol or drug addiction as well as being an affected family member or friend, loss of loved ones or simply feeling stuck in an unsatisfactory place in life. My focus is to carefully listen and understand the issues that you want to address and then focus on helping you to utilize your strengths, abilities, and skills to find a sense of empowerment in your life.

I work with people who want to start or continue their journey in healing from trauma, clients who may be struggling to navigate what it means to be neurodivergent and clients who want to learn more about their own identity throughout this process. Together, we can work on reducing shame, blame and guilt surrounding traumas, decrease hypervigilance and avoidance to work toward valued living.

Being seen and valued for who we truly are, particularly in a space free of judgment, bias, and pretense, is an incredible feeling. When we feel safe to be ourselves, peace and healing naturally follow. From there, we can blossom, grow, and thrive! It often takes that feeling of safety and security for the truest parts of ourselves to be free to emerge. The essence of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship and the sense of safety that comes with it. Knowing that you are in a space where your confidence is kept, your story is protected, and your whole person is viewed with loving kindness allows for growth.

Let’s talk about you. Your perspective about your life is valid and essential. Everyone needs someone on their side that will listen with an open heart and open mind. I work with people where they are. I use a strengths based perspective to help you advocate for yourself in your own life. Life happens. Hardships happen. Neurological differences, psychological and medical diagnoses are not a life sentence. Within each person is the incredible power to transform their own lives. Let’s work on those struggles to help you get what you want out of your life and find your own version of happiness.

Life can be really hard and oftentimes we need additional support. I love working with individuals through life's transitions and challenges. A belief and dedication to growth, resilience, and well-being, I prioritize trauma-informed care and social justice in my practice. I emphasize authenticity and genuine connections by integrating empathy, creativity, and humor into sessions using Gestalt Therapy. Whether guiding teens or adults through various life’s transitions or focusing on improving a client’s mental well-being, my approach remains culturally conscious and sensitive to individual experiences in the broader societal context

My ideal client is a teen, adult, or couple that is in need of communication work, reframing and refocusing thoughts, or in need of asssistance with anxiety. I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated on their journey to healthier mental practices and those seeking assistance.
