Relationship Issues Therapists in Cedarburg, WI

My approach to clinical work utilizes a solution-focused cognitive behavioral model of therapy. I not only believe in safety and coping skills as the root of personal change but also believe psychotherapy must offer more than the ability to cope. I promote thriving, rather than merely surviving. I aim to help clients reach their fullest potential through engaging dialogue and action. My support of Women for Sobriety confirms that through empowerment, people, become more capable, competent, caring and compassionate.

Something traumatic happened to you. Sometimes, you get triggered and feel like you’re back in the same situation, even though you know you’re not.

As a counselor, one of my core beliefs is that we are experts in our own lives; however, we also benefit by having support throughout our journeys in life.

How can you restore the confidence you had before things went south?
