Spirituality Therapists in Union Grove, WI

I have found through 21 years of counseling in a variety of settings that individual therapy is my niche. I'm particularly well-suited for working with adults individually, with a host of presenting issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, grief, PTSD, work stress, and adjustment to various life stressors.

Life is a journey and can be overwhelming at times. We can learn how to become aware of inaccurate perceptions preventing unresolved past issues from leaking into the present. We can also discover hope while making right choices without sabotaging healthy boundaries! Discover what life can be like when new strengths become reality. The road to wholeness need not be traveled alone.

Ugh!!! Yep, most of us get to this point before we reach out for help. I'm glad you're here and ready to make a change. Major life transitions, even the great ones, can leave us feeling unraveled, and at times can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and other mental heath conditions. I work with those who need support and encouragement as they navigate these difficult times.

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.

Are you tired of being tired? Do you put everyone else's needs above your own? Are you ready to start feeling better and enjoy life again? If so, give me a call. I can help.

The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit! Psalm 34:18 niv. Good News: there is peace in knowing someone cares about your emotional state of being.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing Telehealth counseling. My specialties include helping people who struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Providing support in developing coping strategies, improving communication skills, and building resilience. Helping to lead a more fulfilling and authentic life, cultivating meaningful connections and finding inner peace.

I am a Marriage and Family therapist who believes in the sanctity of a life well lived and lived well. With each new stage in life comes expectations, challenges, opportunity for learning and a variety of emotions. I can help you work through negative and self-defeating thoughts, disappointments and stubborn life questions through changing thoughts that are unhelpful and are not life-affirming to those that help you to learn, to grow, to feel happy. I work with individuals, children, families and couples to meet you where you are in your life.

My practice focuses on those dealing with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, grief, overuse of social media, men’s issues, communication issues and relationship stress, self-care, and the development/maintenance of a healthy spirituality. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups ranging from children, adolescents, and adults. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology in 2019 from Concordia University Wisconsin and obtained a Master's Degree in Social Work in 2021 from the same University. I am a proud member of Phi Alpha Society and hold a Certified Advanced Practice Social Work (CAPSW) certificate.

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. 

AA not your cup of tea? Come see me. Love your spiritual fellowship - I can still help with science-based methods. With 30 years experience & my continuing love of science, I offer practical, up-to-date, evidence-based practices and warm understanding. I'm active-directive, not just reflective; empathic and not confrontational. You'll feel understood & accepted. Discover, commit & ACT on your values; overcome unnecessary suffering, get motivated, accept yourself unconditionally, act assertively without guilt, and change harmful addictive behaviors without (or with) 12-Steps spirituality. Cut down or quit; you choose. Call & let's jump start your changes.

I specialize in counseling adults and teens who are struggling with unwanted thoughts, feel overcome by their emotions, or are battling anxiety and depression caused by life challenges and trauma. I have a background working with many life experiences, including: concerns related to sexuality, gender or relationship conflict; men's issues, major changes in life, such as aging or unexpected hardships; LGBTQ+ identity and "coming out", issues related to faith or spirituality, and communication issues. I work well with those motivated to understand themselves better, who wish to take steps towards healing and growth.

I appreciate adult clients who want growth and change. They are open to a broad spectrum of human experiences and value honesty and safety as they go deep into their emotional processes. With youth, I appreciate clients who are ready to claim their identities and explore a world that's full of possibilities.

You deserve to heal. You deserve to be supported, respected, and seen for all you have been, all you will be, and all you are in this moment. I trust you to be the expert on yourself and your own experiences within the body, identities, and relationships that inform your ways of knowing yourself and your world. Our work together will not focus on identifying what’s “wrong” with you, and won’t aim to “fix” you. Together, we will explore areas of distress, discomfort, or questioning through a systemic lens. I will support your intentions toward transformative change and growth from perspectives that matter to you.

I am blessed to study with the best - I studied family systems work with Monica McGoldrick MSW and learned EMDR in 1990 from Dr. Shapiro herself. I have been a senior facilitator for the EMDR Institute and am a consultant for therapists in training. Today I practice family systems, utilizing the genogram - with EMDR as the cornerstone - along with mindfullness and spirituality. I have four children who have taught me about autism, dyslexia, adoption, and assumptions. They are my greatest teachers! I am married to Dr. John Schaut, a master EMDR practioner who works with our combat veterans.

I love being a therapist and having the privilege of helping people heal, grow, and discover (or re-discover) their purpose in life. It takes tremendous courage to share with another person what you want to change about yourself. I feel that my role is to be a compassionate guide and facilitator to help you learn about yourself, your roots, your helpful and unhelpful personal habits and patterns with others. I use art, music, psychodrama, dreamwork, intuition and active listening to help you challenge yourself and become the sort of person you want to be in the world.
