Therapists in Madison, WI

I try and help people increase the "quality" of their lives which often means helping people whose thinking/behavior and feelings don't seem to connect.I use many different approaches to therapy and draw upon numerous orientations if helpful to the client's goal of change. I strongly advocate for the mind/body connection; healthy mind helps the body be healthier. Past issues are of importance but don't have to be the major focus. I can help you with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and PTSD. I am proud to be a Tricare provider.

I believe therapy should be the right blend of supportive and challenging. I provide a warm and accepting environment while also striving to be as honest and direct about thought patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back. My ideal client is one who is open to learning about themselves and their patterns, who wants to be challenged, and who is able to identify their goals for therapy. They want to understand how they can work through issues from their past that may be preventing them from full engaging in their present.

Therapy is a space to develop strengths and resources, as well as examining problems and pain. Clients work on both their strengths and struggles in my practice.

Relationships aren't always easy... At times they may be our greatest source of ease and joy, but every couple knows that they can also be our greatest source of frustration and struggle. You may be asking yourself, "How did we get here?" or "How are we ever going to make this better?" Reaching out for help may not be easy either, but it's an acknowledgment that your happiness and your relationship are worth fighting for, and that's a good place to start. I'll help you to 1) Look with clarity at what has come between you, and 2) Do the vital work to rebuild trust, understanding, love, and intimacy in your relationship.
