Divorce Therapists in Green Lake County, WI

I have 20+ years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults and families. I utilize a variety of insight and compassion focused, strength-based counseling techniques depending on client goals for therapy. One of my skills is helping clients make connections between their past experiences and current thoughts, feelings and behaviors, which promotes healing from trauma and grief. I believe therapy is a collaborative experience and want clients to feel comfortable, hopeful, and truly understood. I personalize my approach to counseling depending on a client’s age, reason for counseling, and desired outcomes.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at in their healing process. Assisting my clients in identifying their unique strengths in order to find balance and joy in their lives is always at the core of the therapy process. I provide a straightforward, compassionate approach with my clients and take my work very seriously. I do not, however, take myself overly seriously, so clients feel I am very easy to relate to. I believe that everyone, at some point, can benefit from therapy. It's not only to fix what might feel broken, but also to improve on what's working in our lives.

I understand on a personal level, that working on oneself is not always easy. You must be brave, motivated to heal, and have the strength and self-awareness to seek help. If you have the strength to take these steps, you have the strength within yourself to address your issues and heal your struggles.

Therapy doesn't have to be a serious, scary or daunting process. In therapy with me, you will feel comfortable and supported while receiving the support and tools you need to meet your goals and move forward. I have been a licensed clinician for 15 years and, in that time, have loved working with clients who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, depression, life stress and life transitions including parenthood, career changes, going to college and relationship changes and peer concerns just to name a few.

We all seek a life that is fulfilling and meaningful, but sometimes during our life's journey, we can come to feel disconnected from that source of meaning. Perhaps the stress and responsibilities of life become overwhelming, and what is meaningful gets lost in the busyness. Maybe a life event occurs (trauma/illness/death/divorce/etc.) that causes us to reevaluate everything we thought to be true. Maybe our relationships or our roles in life begin to shift making us question "What now?" My honor as a therapist is to walk with you as you rekindle that connection and create a life that intentionally honors what matters most to you.

You are not broken and in need of “fixing.” Rather, your early life, sense of belonging and experiences have influenced patterns and behaviors that brought you here. Change is within your reach. Whether you’re struggling with addiction or unresolved trauma; healing from domestic violence; enduring a relationship breakup; or concerned by your child’s mental health and behavioral issues, let’s work together on a positive path forward. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in addiction and substance abuse and certified in trauma and domestic violence therapy and as divorce and family mediator.

Healing starts when we acknowledge and move toward accepting what is. I help people to ground in the present moment and move towards a life worth living.

YOU CAN FEEL BETTER! Feeling stressed, anxious, depressed? Have troubled relationships? Do you struggle with your child's behavior, attitude or school achievement? Want MORE than talk therapy? My work is strength-based: let's find what is working and improve the areas that are not! In an easy-going and comfortable manner, I use brain science i.e. Brainspotting, Sensorimotor Therapy and Interpersonal Neurobiology (along with a sense of humor) to provide treatment of emotional and behavioral issues in adults, children, couples and families; including psychological assessments for both children and adults.

My intentions are simple. I work to create the type of therapeutic relationship that clients will need to do the exploring, processing and growing that psychotherapy allows. I've always considered it a great privilege to be allowed into client's lives, and are consistently in awe of one's ability to grow and heal.

Is your child stressful? Do they get anxious more than their friends? Is your child or teen down & unmotivated? Is your family adjusting to adoption or foster care, or maybe a recent death or divorce in the family? Are you a young adult who isn't sure about what next steps are or maybe life is just really hard? If any part of these questions resonated with you, please reach out. Clients describe me as down to earth, easy to talk to, works well in crisis situations, & is non-judgmental. In my free time you can find me by Lake Michigan with a cup of coffee, on a walk with my family, finding new houseplants, or gardening outside.

I help people who are navigating life and career transitions, men who are dealing with depression and anxiety, and relatives who are healing from the emotional pain of estrangement. I will help you find your inner strength and the power you need to move forward with emotional health and inner peace.

My approach is both collaborative and engaging working 'with' you and not just silently observing. Having worked with a wide range of clients from diverse backgrounds, I've learned to customize my approach to best meet 'your' needs and not force you to fit a predetermined modality.
