I will provide a compassionate, safe and nonjudgmental environment so that you can move past life’s challenges, develop new coping skills and live a more fulfilling, authentic life.
This group is intended for clinicians who hope to deepen their clinical practice, increase their effectiveness and build self knowledge through work with similarity minded clinicians and thoughtful facilitation. Together, we will create space not just to explore the work that challenges us but also become more attune to our own internal processes around clinical content. We will mindfully attend to ourselves as individuals in order to become better therapists and counselors.

Happiness is our natural state of being... if you're not happy, then you're not in alignment with your natural state. So the question is, "Do you want to be happy?" I will work with you to help identify your values; which are the foundation for your decision making. Decisions that stem from your values will bring you peace and clarity. Decisions that stem from fear or old unhealthy patterns will bring you conflict and confusion. It's that simple... Happiness is a choice and a practice, despite the labels we may have been given along the way.

At times it can feel like you’re hiding in plain sight. On the outside, you are admired for your attention to detail and ability to juggle multiple demands with apparent ease. You are an overachiever, going above and beyond, all while silently grappling with inner chaos. You're an expert in the art of people-pleasing, a well-honed skill that serves as a way to navigate interactions and avoid the sting of rejection or misunderstanding. You carefully plan your days to maintain some sense of control and order. Yet, despite your achievements and the admiration of others, you still feel a deep sense of inadequacy, and you are tired.
The group is designed for individuals seeking to establish and/or maintain total sobriety. Relapses are treated with patience and openness in an effort to allow for an individual's growth and to strengthen their recovery. The group is open to all individuals regardless of substance of choice. In group, individuals will engage in group discussion about issues related to addiction as well as sharing their own unique experiences directly and indirectly related to addiction. Group members will receive feedback, support and psychoeducation with an emphasis on relapse prevention and maintenance strategies as well as coping skills and self-soothing.

Sometimes anxiety, difficult emotions, and painful experiences keep showing up, even when you try your best to manage them. Maybe you’ve become exhausted from constantly pushing them away or toughing it out. You no longer want to feel dominated by fear, worry, or sadness and you are ready to return to (or discover!) a life that closely aligns with your personal values. Having someone who truly listens to you without judgement can be a strong foundation for this work. I believe counseling best honors each client’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals through a collaborative process.

I recognize finding a therapist can be challenging and overwhelming. I hope my profile gives you a sense of who I am as a professional and if I may be a good fit for you. I believe the foundation for therapeutic success is understanding the unique strengths of an individual. Tapping these resources that we each have assists individuals in finding their "best self" and increases the ability to problem solve, cope with difficulties in life, build stronger and healthier relationships, and increase overall quality of life.
In this group we explore ways to recognize patterns and behaviors that set us up for co-dependency and then use tools and techniques to begin transforming these unhealthy patterns.

The Wisconsin Institute of Marital Therapy was founded so that couples could find experts help with their relationship needs to move forward, whether this involves healing old or new wounds, communicating better, addressing perpetual problems, or deepening the intimacy of their relationship. The creators of this Institute wanted to create and inspire a center that brings together the science of masterful relationship with the art of depth psychology and psychoanalysis. We feel passionate about this work and hope that we may be able to help you explore and develop a more transformational relationship that serves your own, and your partner's, individual growth.

I am the founder of the Relationship Center of Milwaukee, a group practice that focuses on providing couples with the skills, insights, and courage to develop themselves and their relationships. My 30-year experience as a psychologist and psychoanalyst has reinforced my belief that people heal, change, and grow in connection to others. Love relationships are simultaneously the greatest source of comfort and happiness in our lives, but also potentially the greatest source of intense stress and misery. Yet, we keep on trying. The thirst for good partnership is unquenchable.

How does group therapy work?
Therapy groups are led by one or more therapists and serve to help people process their experiences and learn from others who understand their challenges firsthand. They can be based on a specific issue, such as addiction, grief, physical illnesses, parenting, and caregiving. They can involve a specific type of program or therapy, such as a social skills group or CBT group. They can also be specific to a particular population or community, such as teens or LGBTQ.
Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, also focus on a specific issue, but are typically led by members with lived experiences and are less structured than therapy groups. Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.

What are the benefits of group therapy?
Support groups help connect people with shared challenges or physical and mental health conditions. In a group setting, participants can receive support and feedback from peers and can acquire new skills, strategies and perspectives by listening to one another. Discussing your experience with someone who also has a cancer diagnosis, or whose son also struggles with addiction, for example, can help you feel less alone, reduce distress, find empathy and connection, and learn practical or medical information that has helped others. Group therapy can also be a more affordable option than individual therapy and just as effective.
Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?
Support groups can be deeply valuable for both emotional support and/or treatment outcomes. It’s difficult to make a blanket statement on efficacy due to the many different types of support groups and conditions treated, but group therapy has been found to be just as effective as individual therapy in establishing long-term abstinence for conditions such as substance abuse, addiction and alcohol abuse.
How much does group therapy cost?
Group counseling is typically less expensive than individual counseling, with each session costing on average between $60 to $75. Meanwhile, individual therapy sessions can run anywhere from $100 to $200 and up, even after insurance. It is possible to find low-cost group therapy options and many therapists offer group sessions free of charge.
Does insurance cover group therapy?
As with individual therapy, many insurance companies do offer coverage for group therapy sessions. However, the coverage varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider. Individuals are encouraged to check with their insurance providers to verify coverage.
How long does group therapy last?
The length of a support group session is often one hour but can fall anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The amount of time that people remain in a support group varies based on their specific needs and goals and the type of therapy. Some individuals may seek a shorter-term group, such as a bereavement group, that may last between six and 20 weeks. Some may seek a longer-term group that lasts for a year or indefinitely.
What are the limitations of support groups?
Support groups have many benefits, but there are a few limitations as well. Support groups do not constitute formal therapeutic or medical treatment, and are not run by licensed mental health professionals, so some people may opt for group therapy or individual therapy instead. Additionally, support groups can depend on the other participants, so a disruptive individual has the potential to mar the group dynamic, and the anecdotal information shared may sometimes be unhelpful or inaccurate. Because it is a group setting, confidentiality can be more difficult to guard and participants receive less personalized attention than they would in an individual therapy session.
