Therapists in Middleton, WI

Do you want immediate relief and help? I have a significant success rate with anyone living with anxiety, depression or relationship issues. My therapy style is best described as honest and strategic in helping you discover the root of your problem and coming up with solutions that fit your specific problem. Life can be hard yet you can achieve happiness through all of it. Learning to really live life on life's terms is the key! As an LMFT and Ph.D. in counseling I can help you take a leap of faith and start working on you!

Has your life become unmanageable or lacking in joy? Sometimes we become overwhelmed and stretched too thin due to all of our obligations like work, family, relationships, etc. Sometimes it is an event that tips the scales and other times it is just the build-up of our every day stressors. Either way, it is time to put things back into perspective and find the happiness that you deserve.

I bring warmth and a deeper understanding to your struggles to help find practical and effective solutions when you feel overwhelmed or stuck. My approach is non-judgmental, honest, and collaborative, ensuring that you are heard and actively engaged throughout the process. Sometimes the work is building a sense of hope that things can be better. Other times it might be focused on practical solutions or a deeper understanding of the underlying issues contributing to your struggles. I can help you live a life more aligned with your values and goals.

Are you dealing with concerns about family building, infertility, postpartum depression or anxiety? Are you struggling with a difficult life transition, communicating with your partner, or issues with work-life balance? Do you feel you need extra support and reassurance? Therapy can provide an outside perspective and teach skills necessary to help you create the kind of life you are looking for. Change is possible and sustainable. I have over 18 years experience with helping individuals and couples in a number of areas.

Worrying? Feeling down -just not yourself? Your focus, concentration and motivation aren't there. Burned out? A recent or chronic health condition could be impacting your mood. You don't know where to start, but know this isn't sustainable. You are ready to slow down, identify and process what you have been avoiding-you don't need to navigate this alone.

Chocolate, snowboarding, and shopping can be therapeutic, but sometimes they're not enough. I see teenagers, adults, and families when struggles get in the way of fun and suffering becomes too familiar. Friends and family hopefully are there when we need them, yet therapists can provide additional essentials: nonjudgmental, individual attention in a safe setting. Relationships are central to our well-being, and the therapy process involves building a relationship. Clients lead, and I listen to your goals and help you to identify unhealthy patterns, reduce negative self-talk, and learn more about how you view yourself and the world.

I have over 40 years of experience doing psychotherapy. I have become particularly skilled at seeing what is happening with individuals, and between couples, and I share that so that you can understand what you are dealing with. We work collaboratively and creatively; I check to be sure my directions and suggestions are meaningful to you. I make sure that you are learning something significant about yourself in every session. You deserve the respect and support you need to go into uncharted territory. I care about my clients and my clients know it; that is the inspiration that keeps my work exciting to me.

We love to collaborate with clients to help them draw from their own expertise, build on their own positive values, discover their own skills, and use these new tools to work through conflicts and hardships. We are systems therapist. What that means is: we like to approach problems that people have within the context of social, political and cultural storylines that influence the way we view ourselves and our own personal stories. We use this same approach in family therapy to seek ways to change the way the family system works rather than trying to "fix" a specific family member.

You don't have to feel alone. No matter where your journey has been or may be going ,there is help and hope for a better future and a happier you. Taking the first step towards getting help is often the most difficult. With 20 years experience in individual and couple's therapy, I can help you build a healthier and happier life and learn how to make choices that feel right for you. How? By improving your communication skills so that you feel heard and understood. I am dedicated to your personal growth and well-being.

Everyone deserves to be happy, but sometimes it can be hard to achieve that happiness on your own. I'm here to help by providing a supportive environment to help you or your child make the changes you want to see happen in your life. I specialize in working with young people (college age and younger). I work with various concerns, with anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related difficulties being primary areas of focus in my practice. I also offer help to adults navigating their parenting journey. Please visit my website to learn more about my specialties and niche practice: https://www.capitalcitypsychology.com

Therapy is effective when the therapist is guiding the client down a path that the therapist has already successfully completed. My heightened emotional sensitivity to myself and the world surrounding me led me on a journey of self-discovery where I learned to resolve my personal losses and access my power and intuition. Through the lessons of my resolved cycles of suffering, I have found consistent access to my emotional maturity and intuitive wisdom: Giving me the gift of living in the flow of life. Once I became grounded in the depth & flow of my being, I felt called to guide others who are on a similar journey.

As a Psychologist, I have the honor of working with individuals in their journeys of self-discovery, healing, renewal, and growth; journeys which, at times, have emerged out of periods of life crises & emotional upheaval. I offer individual, couples, and group psychotherapy, working with people navigating a range life transitions and challenges. I work compassionately and collaboratively with clients to explore, discover and overcome aspects of their lives that keep them from recognizing and meeting their full potential. This also involves recognizing and emphasizing clients' strengths, resilience, and assets they already embody.

It is not uncommon for people to talk and think their way 'better'. They have made sense of their problems and wish to 'just move on'. However, they can't seem to rid themselves of the emotional turmoil and physical pain that remains. My clients say to me, 'I just want to move on but my anxiety, depression, trauma, bad habits, pain, guilt, shame, family members...just won't let me'.

Feeling overwhelmed is all too common these days. Sometimes, uncomfortable thoughts and feelings even keep you up at night. You spend a lot of time trying to convince yourself that everything is "fine,” but deep down you know it's not true. Hoping all of this would just go away hasn't worked. Instead, you feel sad, isolated, and scared. If you're being honest with yourself, you know things won't improve unless you take action; but it's hard to imagine what would make a difference.

Is there something you wish to create...a balanced lifestyle, calm mind, healthy relationship? As an experienced Therapist, I will work with you to discover what prevents you from having the life you want. We will work together to achieve your goals and restore your sense of joy in activities, life and relationships.

Welcome! I provide therapy to adults and couples/partners in the state of Wisconsin. I offer in-office, telehealth, and outdoor walk-and-talk sessions. In my practice I lean on curiosity, humor, somatic awareness, and your innate strengths to facilitate your growth. My approach to psychotherapy is holistic, which means we consider all aspects of your life: environment, community, culture, physical health, systems of oppression, and systems of support. When we talk about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we are also talking about the context they arise in.

“You are not a machine with broken parts,” writes author Yohann Hari. We are humans on this challenging journey of life. We navigate love and loneliness, trauma and triumph, and endless messages from our culture which say we are not successful enough, attractive enough, rich enough…good enough. I have a different idea—you are enough! In therapy, I provide safe, non-judgmental space to meet you in the full context of your life, family, culture, and dreams for the future. Let me help you find and heal your true self and build authentic relationships that make your life less stressful and more meaningful.

My clients are adult individuals, couples, and partners who want deeper relationships. They're experiencing life transitions, grief, or they've reached a point in their lives where old strategies aren't working anymore and they want to create new patterns in their lives. They want to release old hurts, feel more ease and freedom in their spirits and bodies, and understand themselves and their partners better.
