Therapists in Pewaukee, WI

Clients wanting to optimize their potential and willing to explore effective solutions from Western and Eastern wisdom traditions are my specialty. During my forty plus years working in psychiatric hospitals, leading residential treatment programs, teaching relationship courses for couples and presenting Mind, Body and Spirit healing seminars, helping others heal the core of their issue is my passion. I work with adolescents, adults, families and couples from every orientation. Of course, the LBGT community is welcome. Respectful of every religious orientation, I love working with anyone wanting to unite their physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of their being.

Is your life, your child's life, family, or your marriage having challenges? My practice centers on helping people reach and maintain emotional health. Those who can achieve and maintain emotional health are better able to reach goals, learn their true potential, and live a balanced and fulfilling life. Even those who are emotionally healthy experience challenges in life - those sudden, unexpected events that seem to throw life off course. Whether it is a traumatic experience, a loss of a loved one, or a life transition, my extensive experience can help you through the challenge being faced and leave you feeling more content and confident.

Are you ready to begin your personal transformation, to release the pain, and regain your vibrancy and joy. Optimal health comes from healing and connecting the Mind, the Body, the Spirit, and Emotions. In my Holistic Healing Center, I blend the best of traditional psychotherapy, empowerment coaching, positive psychology & integrative practices. I am dedicated to helping those who seek to improve their relationships with themselves, others, and their Higher Power. I honor and respect the unique abilities of each person and help them harness their strengths to overcome their challenges.

I provide a calm and supportive environment for clients to be heard, validated and understood. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, having relationship difficulties, or want to improve your mindset, I can help. Together we'll find threads of hope and resilience. I use a positive, collaborative and strength-based approach to therapy. Through treatment, clients can find clarity and peace while creating more organization and balance in their life.

Have you seen traditional talk therapists and felt like something was missing? I certainly have. Sometimes words are hard, and they don't always do well capturing our internal experience. Music gives us more options in the therapy space, which many people find empowering and validating. If you are ready to do the work and make changes for your well-being, then I think we can work beautifully together!

For many of us as adults, we hold a myth that we are “not good” at art. The reality is that art-making is an ancient human tool designed to connect the mind and body and enhance meaning-making. Your body and mind are designed to create. The process and product of making art can illuminate our inner environment, and offer a compassionate route to support the healing journey.

Living life on purpose requires clarity of mission, awareness of strengths and the ability to overcome the obstacles that undermine our fulfillment. Supporting people in their pursuit of a fulfilling life is my passion. Anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts all sabotage a meaningful life. My goal is to provide clients with the insights, skills and motivation to live life on purpose.

Does life seem overwhelming or are you feeling restless for change in your life? Are you having difficulty with relationships? Do you feel sad, lonley or unfulfilled? Do you have difficulty making decisions or feeling confident in the ones you have made? Does your life feel off balance? I am here to listen, encourage and support you through your life's challenges. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest. Let me help you find balance to bring fullness to your life.

If you are looking at this, chances are that you will need support for you and/or your loved one. I am a licensed practicing therapist and I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and family issues. I have been working all of my career trying to help cultivate that "family environment" that we all strive for. I work with parents and children to help change the entire environment to nurture maximum growth in the person as well as in the relationships that the person has. I am highly qualified to work with you and your family.

Life not going quite as smoothly as you hoped? Relationship not as fulfilling as it was in the early days? Struggling with past hurts and trauma? Or feeling less motivated or more anxious? My passion to explore, learn, and help others, motivates me to find the best ways to help you become a better, happier, more fulfilled you. Truly, I believe transformation and change is possible through your own self-discovery and connection with others. I combine my humor and straight forward approach with a safe and encouraging environment. Together we work on goals and a plan for you to move forward to great opportunities for change!

I believe that a strong/positive therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving the goals and outcomes desired. I also believe that honesty and trust are key pieces to developing that relationship. I strive to provide an environment that is safe, secure, and non-judgmental yet challenging you so you can grow to see past the problems you are facing

My ideal client seeks support for various concerns such as relationships, family conflicts, men's issues, eating disorders, and OCD. They need a safe space, free of judgment, to openly express themselves. Their goal is positive and lasting change: healthier relationships, improved self-esteem, practical coping skills, and inner peace. They yearn for emotional well-being, to live authentically, and discover their untapped potential. We forge a collaborative partnership to explore their unique circumstances, address challenges, and create the fulfilling life they desire.

My overall goal is to partner with you to relieve suffering and promote well-being. If you are seeking lasting behavior change, spiritual growth, improved relationships, emotional healing, adaptation to health challenges or access to the power of your subconscious mind, we may be a good match. I enjoy collaborating with those who've had less than satisfactory experiences with prior therapy, or who feel stuck in their efforts to move forward in life. My approach is intuitive, empathic and grounded in evidence-based methods.

I specialize in trauma-informed treatment & psycho-analytical therapy with adults in transition/change, mental health disturbance & past or current trauma. My practice includes counseling young & older adults, couples with marriage stress, anger management, substance abuse & recovery, women and men leaving domestic violence situations, LGBTQ, and those living with personal challenges where they find themselves ‘stuck’ in ideas and behaviors that no longer work for them. Approaches include Analytical Psychology, Narrative and CBT, MI, Feminist Therapy, Multi-Culturalism, Trauma-Informed Treatment & somatic healing.

I enjoy working with people of all ages, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, and cultural backgrounds. I am committed to helping you to discover new things about yourself and work towards your overall well-being, regardless of where you come from. I believe everyone is the expert on their own life and hold the keys to success within themselves and I am here to help them access those keys.

I bring to my work a lifetime of experience with many different people in many different circumstances. My early life experience as a registered nurse enriches me as a psychologist and provides me with a unique perspective in navigating the path towards healing. I believe that the psyche holds within itself the power to heal, but our egos often get in the way. Through the struggles of life, we can lose contact with our own deep well of inner wisdom. My focus is on helping individuals develop the tools to re-connect with their true vital selves and restore balance.

Do others take so much of you that you’ve run out of pieces of yourself? While you’re taking care of work, family, or school expectations, how would you have time to even notice your own needs? I work with so many women, from college students to busy professional moms, who know this feeling. It seems we’re taught that our self-worth is rooted in other people’s opinions, instead of how we see ourselves. That can leave us dealing with stress, low self-esteem, weight frustrations, and more. In my 25 years of experience, I’ve never met a woman who wasn’t strong, resilient, and much more than how she sees herself.

I have a passion for helping my clients get "unstuck" from things holding them back. Whether it's finding and keeping relationships, worries about the future getting in the way of living life now, or past traumatic or unpleasant experiences that are keeping you up at night. I work best with adults and couples who are ready to dig into the work, coming out the other side with a life filled with joy and meaning. OCD, relationship issues, personality disorders, perinatal and postpartum women, anxiety, trauma and depression are my specialties.

Each individual has their own unique life experiences. Life can be challenging. Do you feel alone? Or do not feel like you have anyone supportive in life? I am here to provide support as well as guidance to help you make positive life changes and regain that purpose you seek out of life. I am a licensed professional counselor that specializes in working with adults. I am newly accepting patients that are preteens and teens. Overall, I have seven years of experience working in the behavioral health field.
