Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in painful patterns, or disconnected from the people you care about most? Many of the clients I work with—children, adults, couples, and families—come to therapy feeling exhausted by anxiety, trauma, relationship conflict, or shame. You may be struggling to regulate emotions, communicate effectively, rebuild trust, or make sense of experiences that continue to affect your daily life. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You do your best to keep up, but it feels like you're always one step away from falling behind. For many people and high-achievers in Wisconsin, the pressure to be perfect—socially, academically, and personally, might just be exhausting. You might feel like you don’t quite fit in, or that the stress of "what’s next" is just too much to handle. I help people who are tired of feeling overwhelmed. Together, we can turn that pressure into real confidence and help you feel like yourself again.

Sometimes a seemingly minor event from childhood, or at other times major traumatic events that happen at any age, can overwhelm and stress us. Either immediately after or years later we start to feel the effects of these events. We may feel depressed or angry, feel anxiety or panic for no apparent reason, have unexplained physical pain, or experience difficulty sleeping or nightmares. These may start to interfere with daily life, work, and relationships. If some or all these are your experience, you are certainly not alone.

You deserve to live a life driven by your DREAMS rather than your FEARS! I know that you have been through things that make this feel like an unrealistic goal - like there are giant boulders in your path. I know that you might feel frozen - confined by your past or trapped in an endless cycle of worry about the future. But I also know that it's possible to have peace in your present moments. I support people - just like you - in gaining a sense of control over their bodies, their minds, and their hearts. That boulder doesn't have to be a boulder. It can be stepping stone, and I can walk with you.

A person-centered approach is the foundation from which I start. From there I explore with the person; what they feel they need, what they want, and what has helped in the past. I am trained in EMDR. I’ve done art with my clients. I’ve turned on music and danced with a client. I’ve crocheted with clients. I’ve leaned into works of literature as a tool. I’ve incorporated the timeless wisdom of children’s’ books and poetry. I try to be like a mirror reflecting back people’s strengths and value and worth. It’s a beautiful thing when people start believing in their own great worth.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
