Therapists in Waupaca, WI

We don’t have to have something “wrong” with us to come to therapy; instead, we can explore ways for you to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Sometimes we just need space to show up as ourselves and have the support to explore some of life’s difficulties. I take time to understand your unique experiences, identities, and life context. I approach our relationship with an open and accepting mindset, understanding that your feeling of comfort and safety in the therapy room is essential to creating a trusting bond and healing atmosphere.

Clearing past trauma can allow you to live, love and pursue your goals in the now rather than living in reaction to the past. Eliminating triggers for using substances can help you get and stay sober.I have used EMDR to help people with just about any MH issue with great success. In addition, I have a background that I feel allows me to be of special help to veterans, emergency responders, survivors of sexual assault and anyone who struggles with shame or guilt for any reason. EMDR in conjunction with Trauma informed guilt reduction therapy can be very healing. See website: rwesttherapy.com

I believe everyone needs a safe space free of judgment to flourish and find comfort in being authentic. I walk alongside people to help them navigate through their journey and empower them using the wisdom and strength within them to authentically reach their goals.

I believe in the importance of building the therapeutic relationship in order to provide you with a healthy environment that is conducive to inspiring change.

I primarily serve children, teens, and their families experiencing significant stressors including safety concerns, conflict at home, difficulties in school, reactivity, aggression and traumatic experiences.

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished”- Lao Tzu. Why as adults, have we stopped playing? We are never too old to benefit from fostering our inner child through play. Play comes in many forms. Nature is one of the best resources for play, for all ages. When we allow ourselves to reconnect with our natural environment & self, we can form greater connections with others, through meaningful presence, authenticity & love. I believe counseling is the work of the soul, and we don’t walk this journey alone!
