Therapists in Fort Atkinson, WI

When you meet with me, you will notice me listening attentively and empathically to both what you say and what you don’t say. Allowing you to tell your story and ask for what you need are important values in my practice. I provide a warm and compassionate atmosphere that encourages honesty and vulnerability. I am an LGBTQ+ welcoming, body positive, sex positive, and inclusive psychologist; my pronouns are she/her. I want to empower you to have the courage to explore your beliefs, make changes, and learn more about yourself. I offer a wide range of therapy services for teens and adults from eating disorders to gender identity issues.

Choosing to start Individual therapy is a brave decision that can help you address depression, anxiety, trauma, behavioral, self-esteem, life transition, and relationship issues. In my practice, I help individuals recognize and more effectively manage difficult thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that they can pursue growth and create a more fulfilling, meaningful life.

My goal is to provide clients with personalized services to assist in meeting individual needs. As a professional with over 30 years of experience working with children, adults, and families in various environments, I understand the importance of having "your story" heard so appropriate strategies can be put in place to assist you in moving forward.

Life is forever evolving, yet sometimes we get stuck in long-standing behavior patterns or limited perceptions that hold us back from experiencing a more fulfilling and serene life. This is a natural part of our shared humanity. Yet if you feel that stress, sadness, or anxiety commands a disproportionate amount of your time and energy, consider how Positive Psychology can inform and energize your life. As a Positive Psychologist, my goal is to help you enhance your well-being and reclaim optimal health.

You want a therapist you can trust, someone who respects you and can effectively help you achieve your dreams for yourself, or your child, teen, or family. I understand that the first step takes courage. I value your lived experience. Do you long for a fuller, more vibrant life? Need help adjusting to life changes? Feel worn out with trauma or grief? Know what to do and can't make yourself 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? Together, we will navigate from where you are to where you want to be.

I don’t feel heard. I don’t feel seen. I am exhausted. I can’t take a break. I feel like everyone is relying on me. I’m just tired. Does this sound familiar? Perhaps, this is you. If you're here, you're probably searching for something to be different in your life or your loved one's life. You may not know exactly where to go for help, who the best person would be to talk to, or what to expect from therapy. These are valid questions and concerns. I want to assure you...you are in the right place. You don't have to navigate this alone.

Life can often leave a person feeling trapped and overwhelmed. Individual psychotherapy can help the person gain an understanding, provide insight, and organize your thinking.
