Life Coaching Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

Tired of enduring a difficult life , career or relationship? Looking for practical, out-of-the-box solutions for anxiety, depression, and the life circumstances that cause them? Tried therapy before with disappointing results? For 35 years, I have been augmenting traditional therapeutic methods with a variety of techniques, including EMDR Therapy, CRM Therapy, heart rate variability training (Heartmath), body centered approaches, mindfulness training, hypnosis, and ego-state interventions, to facilitate deep internal changes. These interventions take place within the context of a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. My therapeutic style is interactive, engaging, and collaborative.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS "Your past does not define your future!" Seeking counseling can be a very difficult, but life -changing decision. Be Free Counseling Services works with clients between the ages of 15-60 who are invested in changing their current circumstances and ready to engage in the healing process. Clients who are open to change and looking to gain insight, clarity, and perspective are ideal. Together we will work to empower your mind, acknowledge your strengths, and restore your functionality.

When things go wrong in life , we can get knocked off center, struggle to stay afloat, or lose our way. Sometimes we may feel we've moved on from life 's hardships, but negative reactions and patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting continue to reel us back again and again, making the present feel like an ongoing struggle. Our minds, bodies, and nervous systems are remembering the memories of distressing life events, even when we don't consciously think of them every day. We get stuck in anxiety and depression- symptoms of inadequately processed, stuck distress of our lives, both past and present.

It can be difficult to ask for help when life gets overwhelming and you believe you should be able to handle everything on your own. Everyone needs support at times. Let's work together to identify and change unhealthy patterns in your life . My goal is to provide a judgement-free space for you to share your unique strengths and challenges. Most clients benefit from simply being heard and validated without judgement. Successful clients are open to trying something different. Keep an open mind and consider new approaches to coping and problem resolution and you'll experience change.

Normal is a setting on a dryer. We are all unique and valid individuals with vast minds. We all have different situations and I believe in using those pieces to heal and build strength. While I specialize in trauma, addiction, and mood, our struggles are usually not that one note or simple. I focus on all aspects of who you and where you want to be, building a strong relationship based on empathy, trust and non judgement. Life is rough, we lose sight of our way, stop seeing the beauty, forget who we are, feel stuck or changed. It takes courage to be vulnerable and reality is we are imperfectly perfect.
