Relationship Issues Therapists in Grafton, WI

Are you struggling through a loss or life transition, or hoping for healing and connection with yourself and others? Maybe you have unresolved trauma that's making you feel stuck? Or maybe you're in a relationship and want something different together. As humans, we want to experience connection and find a place of belonging and love. It's so important to create space to slow down, discover ways to hold life's complexity differently, and be compassionately curious about what’s getting in the way of what we truly want. It's never too late to explore being comfortable in your own skin and move toward growth and aliveness.

The journey of wholeness is one of subtlety and complexity and by its nature unfolds in a timeline unique to each of us. The center of gravity of the work is rooted in the maturation of the human heart and the conscious tending of the innate longing for purpose, meaning and aliveness. While the work is challenging to the identities and fantasies we have created, it is grounded in love, essential wisdom and desire for freedom. To make the journey with an empathic, attuned, experienced fellow traveler is one of the true mysteries of human life.

August Availability. Your life is a story of experiences that shape your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and relationships.

I can help adults who experienced trauma or loss, feeling stuck, anxiety, depression, anger or have relationship struggles.

Sometimes it's hard to always be "the strong one". Maybe you're so busy taking care of others, you've forgotten about taking care of yourself? Suddenly you notice your health is more of an issue and there is no easy explanation. You become overwhelmed, irritable or depressed with tasks and events that used to be no problem. Mind - Body - Spirit. They are all linked, like a chain. When one link is weak, the chain breaks down and needs attention.

My practice focuses on those dealing with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, grief, overuse of social media, men’s issues, communication issues and relationship stress, self-care, and the development/maintenance of a healthy spirituality. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups ranging from children, adolescents, and adults. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology in 2019 from Concordia University Wisconsin and obtained a Master's Degree in Social Work in 2021 from the same University. I am a proud member of Phi Alpha Society and hold a Certified Advanced Practice Social Work (CAPSW) certificate.

Hello! I am the owner of Inner Balance Counseling, located in West Bend. I really enjoy helping those who struggle with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and adjustment issues- just to name a few. I have worked in a jail in the past for almost five years. I am open minded and have worked with clients in the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy working with clients on a holistic approach and having clients engage in various forms of coping skills and activities outside of the talk therapy session.

I am a licensed professional counselor in training looking to help children, adolescents, and adults work toward finding more balance in their lives. My work focuses on the healing journey and creating a space to connect with one another in an authentic way. I believe in us working side by side to create a care plan that is tailored to your needs and goals. Beginning to look for care is an incredibly brave first step.

As a psychologist, professional counselor, clinical substance abuse counselor, and music therapist, I have learned how much I enjoy working with people to help them overcome obstacles, develop techniques for them to live within the range of their personal capabilities, as well as pursue activities to complement and strengthen personal talents. I view the therapeutic alliance as one of the most complex and rewarding tools when working within the therapy setting. My two careers dovetail to give me the best opportunities to present clients with both traditional and non-traditional methods of working towards a lifestyle that is healthy.

I have over 16 years of experience working with children, individuals, and families who have wide range of clinical needs. I believe that therapy goals and techniques are based on the individual's and/or family's needs, and I meet them where they are at in their process of growth. I have many years of experience working with children (and families) who have Pervasive Developmental Disorders (Autism, and Asperger's Syndrome). I also have experience working with children and adults who present a variety of behavioral and mental health challenges. I enjoy facilitating groups on social skills, anger management, and various parenting topics.

Are you ready to live the life you want? I can help tap into a hidden potential that resides within us – whether to heal trauma, gain balance and perspective in life & relationships, or assert yourself as confident and capable. I seek to empower my clients to capitalize on their strengths, improve their lives and become comfortable “in their own skin.” There is a distinct difference between “living” and just “existing.” It will be my pleasure to help you transition from a simple existence to LIVING the life you want. Equally important it is essential that you are as committed to improving your life as I am to enabling you to do so. 

Sometimes you feel like life just isn’t what you hoped. Maybe for reasons you know, or ones you can’t quite figure out. Whether it’s your relationships, career, or sense of self, you want something to be different but don’t know how to get there. Even when you try to make a change it's hard to feel like anything is good enough. You’re left with a sense of longing, or worry that there must be something wrong with you. It just seems easier for everyone else.

I find great fulfillment in collaborating with clients who are poised for transformative change. Whether seeking a shift in perspective, valuable coping strategies, or a comprehensive life overhaul, I am deeply committed to exploring diverse pathways toward achieving these objectives. Therapy does not need to be perceived as an intimidating endeavor; rather, it can offer profound opportunities for exploration, illumination, and healing, aspects of which I am dedicated to facilitating for my clients.

My approach in therapy is to be honest and direct with the people I work with, but in a way that is combined with compassion and understanding. I am often told by my clients that they feel they are truly listened to and not judged. I have success in working with people who want to alleviate stress, decrease depression and anxiety, identify and work through negative patterns and create more joy and passion in their lives.

I am an art therapist and licensed professional counselor who invites clients on a journey of self-exploration through artmaking and talk therapy. I am passionate about building self-concept, strengths, and coping skills in a safe, comfortable space where clients can feel creative and expressive. In art therapy, I value process over product, you may hear me say “trust the process”! Which means you don’t need to be an artist or “good” at art to participate, but rather explore yourself through art to uncover unconscious thought, create meaning and purpose, engage in conversations of process, strengths, and resilience.
