Weight Loss Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

I love my work: helping individuals and couples solve problems, grow and flourish. We grow by learning mastery; to me this means being competent in dealing with yourself and the outside world. I help clients do this by gaining self-knowledge and learning the skills necessary to be empowered to reach their goals and improve their most important relationships. Since starting my practice in 1983 I have been dedicated to helping clients achieve mastery. I take a very active role, and do "what works" for each client, using a variety of treatment approaches.

From the outside, you seem to have it all together. You work really hard on the details, after all, you are responsible for everyone and everything. But you can’t shake the voice inside your head which screams you’re failing. Even though you put everyone’s needs in front of your own, you feel like you’re falling short as a mom. You can’t even remember what your hobbies are, let alone what really makes you happy. You’ve had enough, you don’t think you can keep holding it together.

It will not come as a surprise to anyone when I say, we all encounter life challenges that can leave us uncertain, preoccupied, or feeling like we are treading water. In moments like these, it can be helpful to meet one on one with a trained psychological professional.  These one on one sessions can offer us the space to be heard, discuss our experiences openly, and offer chances for us to see our challenges from more than one point of view. Often when we are able to see challenges from more than one point of view, we can learn from them in ways that can help us grow.
