Therapists in Lafayette County, WI

I appreciate adult clients who want growth and change. They are open to a broad spectrum of human experiences and value honesty and safety as they go deep into their emotional processes. With youth, I appreciate clients who are ready to claim their identities and explore a world that's full of possibilities.

Human beings are delightfully resilient creatures. People may experience pain, yet be determined to work through and move beyond it. I feel privileged to witness such courage and determination in my clients. I will work collaboratively with you. The expert on you is you! I bring my training, experience, and knowledge of psychological principles and treatments as tools to help you meet your goals. Often a balanced approach is helpful, developing practical strategies as well as identifying underlying issues contributing to your present-day problems. Some clients prefer emphasizing one approach over another; I aim to be responsive to your needs.

I believe that every person is whole and perfect! Yet with life, things happen. Every experience and interaction has an impact on your physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual being. Regardless of the weight of the experience, addressing, moving through, and releasing the hold it has in your mind and body, is where healing begins to occur.

Clients wanting to optimize their potential and willing to explore effective solutions from Western and Eastern wisdom traditions are my specialty. During my forty plus years working in psychiatric hospitals, leading residential treatment programs, teaching relationship courses for couples and presenting Mind, Body and Spirit healing seminars, helping others heal the core of their issue is my passion. I work with adolescents, adults, families and couples from every orientation. Of course, the LBGT community is welcome. Respectful of every religious orientation, I love working with anyone wanting to unite their physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of their being.

Reaching out for help is a significant step, and I deeply appreciate the vulnerability and leap of faith it takes to enter into a therapeutic relationship. I believe that taking the time to get a true sense of a client’s perspective and lived experience is the first and most important step in addressing the concerns and challenges brought into treatment. Because of this, I strive to fully understand the clients I have the privilege to work with.

We will make a plan and work toward your goals at your pace.

I am always marveled by the resilience individuals exhibit in the midst of chaos. However, we tend to forget our strengths as we face hardships. Working in Crisis management, I am marveled at the resilience I have witnessed in those who have experienced trauma. Therefore I want to journey with individuals and help them to identify their hidden strengths and empower individuals so they can function to their fullest potential in society and be their authentic selves.

In today’s world, we’re taught the answers to our problems are found in titles, marriages, appearance, material objects, outward success, & money. No matter the ailment, there’s something to chase that’ll make you whole. Modern notions of happiness confine us because, deep down, we know the satisfaction eventually fades. As we become disillusioned to achievement, consumerism, & the newest health fads, we begin to long for something real. This disparity between our deeper needs & the contemporary recipe for fulfillment leaves us feeling empty.

Anxious feelings, depression, and being overwhelmed by life seem to plague life for many. For adolescents it is often anxiety about friends and friend groups, academic pressure, frustration with teachers, poor self-esteem, feeling angry/ upset, or loneliness. Adult responsibilities and pressures combined with deeply ingrained ways of coping can make for dysregulated functioning that has become habit. Older adults are often struggling with the emotional pressure of family and changing health and circumstances/ stage of life. I work with all ages. If you just want to meet me, please feel free to call and see we are a good fit.

Individuals, couples, and families can find encouragement and direction as well as process traumatic life events or compulsive behaviors in a nonjudgmental environment.

Michael Scott from The Office once said "Society teaches us that having feelings and crying is bad and wrong. Well, that's baloney, because grief isn't wrong. There's such a thing as good grief. Just ask Charlie Brown." As a therapist, I would agree with Michael and add that all feelings are right and good and meaningful but sometimes we can get stuck in negative thought patterns, relationship conflicts, painful feelings or avoidance strategies. We sometimes need help to create and develop new tools for handling those difficult thoughts or situations.
