Family Therapy in Hartland, WI

I have developed a thriving practice treating families and individuals with substance abuse in their lives. In addition I enjoy helping individuals find their way back from dark despair and emotional pain of depression and/or anxiety to their former selves.

Accepting New Clients! You tell yourself what happened to you wasn't real, but under the busyness of life you know it was. You see it coming up in you romantic relationships-the same type of person, the same conflict, the same experience that leaves you with a feeling like there's something wrong with you. Or, maybe you see it in your family relationships-wanting them to meet your needs and always being disappointed. Or, maybe you see it coming up in those moments of lost time-your mind spinning around past hurts. No matter how the trauma may surface, you can no longer live like this.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 25 years and strive to create an atmosphere where clients can feel empowered, respected, understood and safe. It is my hope the care I provide is both highly effective and compassionate. In my practice I provide individual, couple, and family therapy for both adolescents and adults. I work with a wide variety of problems and difficulties; however, areas of particular expertise include anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, trauma, grief, and couple therapy. I have advanced training in using the mind/body connection to resolve difficulties, especially those related to trauma.

Covid fatigue is heightening our stress and relation issues. Loss of what is familiar is challenging. It's time to talk to someone to get a different perspective, new coping method or help with a significant lifestyle change. Grief, anxiety and depression are increasing due to the stress of the pandemic. Issues you are experiencing for yourself, your relationship, marriage and family are heightened causing elevated emotional, spiritual and physical distress. I see you as an individual made of body, soul and spirit in God's image and beleive you are worthy of dignity. I'd like to help you live well through a systemic approach.

You feel like you have some insight into yourself but aren't sure how to take your own advice. People come to you with concerns and you can be so kind and caring but can't do that for yourself. Feelings of anxiety, of never being good enough, are affecting the way you see yourself , your relationships with family and friends and you feel blocked. It's taking a toll on you, and you know this isn't the way you want to live anymore.

Stress and anxiety feels like your default setting. Overwhelmed and burnout is the motto to your life. You feel like your needs are being put on the backburner of everyone else’s. You want to be able to say how you’re feeling but the idea is so uncomfortable that you keep quiet and avoid the drama. How doe it feel to hear, your thoughts and feelings matter and you are deserving to set your boundaries?

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.

I understand that taking the first step in seeking help can be intimidating, and I want you to feel as comfortable as possible by providing a safe, calm, non-judgmental, and confidential atmosphere for us to talk, reflect, laugh, and process. I want to work with you to find solutions that will benefit you in the struggles you're facing, and find tools that will help you for the long term. Parenting, career decisions, and relationship struggles are certainly challenging, but I have helped many people work through these situations and come out feeling more empowered and confident in handling them.

My ideal client is one that desires to learn what's limiting him/her in daily life. Somebody who values science and technology and doesn't want to only rely on symptoms. My specialization is the field of Psychophysiology - the study of how the mind, brain, and body interact. I believe if we can't think our way out of it, we need to look inside our brain and body's functioning.

I look forward to meeting you.

For me, the first and most important thing I can possibly know about you is how you want to feel at the very end of our therapeutic relationship. You might wonder why that is so important to me, and the answer is as simple and complex as this: When you tell me where you want to go, I will invest energy and resources during our time together to make sure that we are moving towards that goal in each and every session. While we address your challenges, I will help you discover your strengths and dig in to find resources that you already have in your life. When you meet your goal, that's when I know I've done my best.

Recovery. Healing. Rest. Balance. Empowerment. Connection. Purpose. Hope. Just pause for a moment and ask yourself which of those words resonates with you? What are you wanting out of life right now?

By working together, we will create a plan so you can feel empowered to navigate the complexities of your life experiences and achieve the peace of mind and the balance you are looking for.

Hope is just a phone call away. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, or relationship issues- I will work with you to develop NEW ways of dealing with life's circumstances.

OPEN FOR NEW CLIENTS!! Are you carrying things with you that are affecting your everyday life; your work, your relationships, home life, parenting, your reactions, concentration, intrusive thoughts? You do not need to carry these things with you every day. They are weighing you down, and it is time for you to reset yourself. I work with individuals, couples, and families. Your particular needs determine which type of therapy works best. When working with couples and families I take a systemic approach. I view the "system" or interactions among one another as being faulty, not any particular individual.
