Relationship Issues Therapists in Milwaukee, WI
With humor and empathy I believe in building trust and a solid therapeutic relationship to help my clients achieve their goals.
Beginning therapy can often be difficult and may carry a host of fears, uncertainties, and challenges. I believe that it can also be a life changing journey that can help explore those difficult pieces and peel those layers that have kept us from being our authentic selves. My clients are often young adults, parents, those starting a new phase in their life, or anyone navigating the process of individuation and creating change. My clients are often looking to create healthy boundaries and relationships with themselves and others. Many are healing from past trauma, toxic relationships, or entering a new phase in life.

As an experienced anxiety, relationship, self esteem and grief therapist, I believe that opening up, getting support and facing your challenges can be transformational.
Do you find yourself anxious and worried no matter what you do? Challenges connecting in relationships? Getting stuck in negative thoughts about yourself? Feeling like your grief and pain might consume you?

You are ready to not feel anxious all the time, to have connected relationships, feel positive about yourself and honor your grief in healthy ways.

Rapport of understanding men’s mental health as a male in a female dominated field can allow for trust and understanding with both compassion and empathy at the forefront of the relationship.
David believes in not only helping the individual facing challenges, but helping that person also build their supports that are around them outside of session. David is a military veteran who knows the struggle of being trauma informed and also person-centered in care. What works for one, doesn't always work for the other. David believes in treating the person and not the diagnosis because we are not what the words say we are!

My clinical interests include identity development, family and relationship concerns, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and substance use.
Sometimes the way you relate to yourself and others no longer aligns with who you truly are, your values or how you envisioned your life. You may feel disconnected from yourself and others. You may feel anxious or misunderstood, and start to question your worth or love. To cope, you wear a mask to hide parts of yourself, which creates feelings of tension within yourself and with others. What if you lived your life according to your values while accepting and expressing your genuine self? I create a judgement free, safe therapeutic space where you can explore, understand and find your authentic self.

I teach skills and mindset shifts to manage relationship issues, anxiety, OCD, and general life dissatisfaction.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you find it hard to prioritize yourself over others? Maybe you're always looking toward the next goal to help you feel more fulfilled, but it never does. You've worked hard to get to where you are, only to feel confused because your success hasn't made you feel content. Instead, you're struggling with anxiety, relationships, and feeling dissatisfied with your life. This is a tough place to be, but it can get better.

Through the lens of a couples therapist, I will guide you in creating a compassionate relational space that fosters the growth of each individual and of the relationship.
In Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, “For one human being to love another is perhaps the most difficult task of all, the epitome, the ultimate test. It is that striving for which all other striving is merely preparation.” His writing speaks to the immense psychological importance of our closest relationships. Partnering with another can be a wellspring of immense joy, and just as easily, can induce some of our greatest heartaches and challenges. I understand that couples need more than a good listener to help them navigate their way to healing. They need someone who can guide them toward reconnection and growth.

Throughout that time, my greatest strength has always been the ability to build a strong therapeutic relationship that relies on mutual understanding, respect, and, most importantly, a great sense of humor.
To me, the best clients are those looking to make changes in their life or get a new perspective on things, are open to feedback, and have a great sense of humor! I tell clients all the time- therapy only works if someone genuinely wants change, and if that fundamental part is true than than no matter how slow progress seems there will always be a path towards success. I strive to be a safe and often fun outlet for clients- sometimes therapy is just about having a neutral third party there to listen to you vent and provide feedback. It doesn't always have to be complicated!

While the challenges have been many the wisdom I have gained first hand allows me to be an insightful, intuitive, & empathetic relationship coach for sensitive souls.
I offer coaching to sensitive women who desire a more sane approach to dating and relationships. They want meaningful connection but struggle to find it. They want to enjoy themselves more and be in their heads less. They want to have better boundaries, better choices of who and what they give their attention to, and better self-talk as they navigate the ins and outs of relationships. They feel over-sensitive; are questioning their life choices; are realizing they want to feel more confidence, connection, and joy.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
