Marriage Counseling Therapists in Oshkosh, WI

I understand on a personal level, that working on oneself is not always easy. You must be brave, motivated to heal, and have the strength and self-awareness to seek help. If you have the strength to take these steps, you have the strength within yourself to address your issues and heal your struggles.

I have been doing individual, family and couples therapy for 38 years. I am an associate of the American Board of Medical Psychotherapists and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Professional Counselor. My graduate degree is in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin with undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Philosophy. My approach is eclectic focusing on cognitive behavioral, existential and problem solving therapy. I has been trained in transactional analysis and enjoy working with the Christian and spiritual perspective. I have a Lay Ministry certificate in Lutheran studies. I have studied eastern religion, philosophy, Yoga, Judeo-Christian ministry, and the paranormal.

I personally believe in my clients' innate ability to heal and in their capacity to do so. I have a special interest in working with kids 10+ years old, teenagers, couples and families, but also enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan. I have experience treating those experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, women's issues, grief, marital and family issues. I am a collaborative and strength-based Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe that therapy goals and techniques are based on the individual's and/or family's needs, and I meet them where they are at.

Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.

Many of us go through a process of hoping for change, personal growth or, perhaps, acceptance within ourselves. I'm here to walk that journey with you and help you reach realistic goals to positively impact your daily life. I believe that establishing rapport between a client and therapist is the foundation in providing the best outcome for change. You'll find that my therapeutic approach is empathetic, non-judgmental, and transparent while also incorporating a bit of light-heartedness. I work with a wide variety of clients with specialty populations that include healthcare workers, first responders, and sexual assault survivors.

Do you find having the same arguments with your child or spouse over and over again? Do you find you and your family members shutting down, getting in loud yelling matches, or slamming doors as some topics are brought up? Does your heart hurt so much that you cannot breathe or find yourself choking on your tears at times? Sometimes maintaining healthy relationships is so hard that it hurts people & even worse, makes them feel hopeless that change will ever happen. If you wish your relationship with your family were better, different, or even more tolerable, it might be time to consider reaching out for help.

If life is a struggle and you feel like it is getting harder for you to do things you used to enjoy, I would love to help you get where you want to be. You deserve to be happy and live the life you are meant to live. Sometimes we may need someone to help us travel our path through life and walk with us. If you are anxious, depressed or wondering how you will ever get through your emotional storm, call me and I will ride the wave with you. You are worth the best I can give. The purpose of my life is to help you find meaning and purpose in yours. Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often.

Therapy is a collaborative process where I work with my clients to meet their personalized goals. I offer empathetic therapeutic care to children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I operate from a systemic perspective which means I take into consideration a client's family, work, school, friends, and greater community to see how these systems may be impacting current issues. I am open to new clients.

I offer a safe, supportive environment and have found empathy, understanding and humor are important in building a therapeutic alliance. My abilities are well suited to people with a history of trauma and who are intuitive and creative. Whether you're looking for short term therapy or a deeper process, my skill level applies to both.

I work well with individuals who have had treatment failures in the past.

YOU CAN FEEL BETTER! Feeling stressed, anxious, depressed? Have troubled relationships? Do you struggle with your child's behavior, attitude or school achievement? Want MORE than talk therapy?

Did you know that we are biologically wired to seek out connection, understanding and soothing from our fellow human beings? When connection and understanding is not happening with others, we become dysregulated and engage in behaviors that, on the surface, may not make a lot of sense to us. ​ I will help you understand your behaviors and from this place of understanding and acceptance you can make the changes you desire. Emotional and physical safety is one of the most important factors in a successful therapeutic experience. Together we can work to create a relationship in which you feel heard and understood.
