Expressive Arts Therapists in East Troy, WI

I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve positive changes in their lives. I work with ages 12 and older, individuals and couples. Offering a friendly, positive and humorous outlook,together we will build the skills needed to manage everyday problems to more chronic mental illness. I specialize in empowering my clients to work toward achievable goals. My belief is that there are too many people in the world who will point out when you are "doing things wrong", I am not that person...I will positively reframe the negative and point out the positive.

Welcome! You deserve good things from life. To feel better when you're hurting. To turn mistakes into growth, not self-hate. To find people who accept you as you are. To become who you truly want to be. Sometimes these things may feel impossible. I'll help you find what you seek, whether it's your path, your people or your passion. I can also help you discover your unique strengths and turn them into superpowers.

Together, we will navigate from where you are now to where you want to be. I'm here to help you achieve your dreams for yourself, or your child, teen, or family. As someone who has engaged in my own healing journey, I understand that the first step takes courage. Do you want a fuller, more vibrant life? Need help adjusting to change? Feel overwhelmed with trauma or grief? Know what you need to do and can't seem to do it? Struggle with depression or anxiety or both? Parents, do you need help for a child with issues related to learning, high-sensitivity, development, behavior, or health? Ask me about my caring, holistic approach.

Are you looking for something different in your therapy experience? You've been to therapy and increased your self-awareness. Yet, you feel deep in your bones that something is missing. You’re looking for a genuine connection to help you transform. You feel stuck and know you want more but can't pinpoint what's wrong. You’ve been doing the 'supposed' right thing and are back at square one. You want to find a way to express yourself, but you’re thinking: “I'm too much, or I can't say what I feel; they might leave” You want to let go of the worry that keeps you from being your real self. You're ready for long-lasting change.

You are the expert on yourself and your life. And, I'd like to help you tap into your inner resources to get from where you are to where you want to be. As an individualistic, integrative therapist, I treat and respect you as the unique individual you are, and tailor my approach to meet your needs, pulling from a variety of techniques including ACT, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Expressive Arts, Attachment theory, and Solution-focused therapy. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify your goals and create a plan to help move you toward your more ideal self.

My best fit client is an individual or couple or family that is ready for change. I work best with clients who are ready to embrace themselves or relationships in a nonjudgemental and accountable way. I will at times provide therapeutic homework and I can extend sessions to longer than hour because people need to express themselves in more than 55 minutes sometimes. If you are someone who likes to think outside of the box, you will enjoy my expressive arts background that supports inner wisdom and treats you, the client, as the other expert in the room.

Is your substance use is getting out of hand? Do you feel like you can’t control your anxiety, worry, or fears? Or, are you tired of just existing and feeling like there’s no hope? Maybe you have experienced a traumatic event, are struggling to adjust to a life change, or have been using substances to cope. What if I told you there was hope, and there is another way to live? I have the tools to help you engage with your life, and the people in your life, in a more meaningful, authentic, and peace-filled manner.

Painful & confusing experiences may leave you feeling depleted and hopeless, but life can be better than you imagine is possible. Some of the issues that we can work through are feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, fear, anxiety, lack of meaning in life, unusual beliefs that scare you, paranoia, & hearing unwelcome voices. Recovery from depression & extreme states, often known as catatonia, mania, or psychosis is possible on your terms. Through personal experience & learning from others, I've come to see that distressing experiences are often filled with opportunities for growth and healing.

Greetings! Sometimes we benefit from a non-biased, affirming source of support to open new pathways to pleasure and fulfillment - both of which we are all inherently deserving of. I invite clients to come as their authentic selves, explore the nuance of “what is,” and challenge narratives they may be ready to shed. As a systemic therapist, I believe all systems we exist within impact us. Clients can expect to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as experiences informed by family, partnership, community, work, and broader social systems.
