Therapists in Monroe, WI

Recovery is a long and arduous journey and I am invested in walking with my clients through the deepest darkness as well as the brightest days. I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, thus providing recovery-focused psychotherapy to individuals battling an eating disorder is my primary specialty. I am invested in long-term therapy that hinges on the relationship that develops over time. The ideal client for me is someone who is motivated to move forward and improve upon his or her quality of life, and who has a willingness to try new things, even when they are frightening.

Whether you have been thinking about therapy for a while or are just now considering it, I want you to know you’ve found a safe space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story and receiving the support you need.

It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who once said that, "What lies behind us and what lies before us matters little compared to what lies within us". For more than 30 years I have focused on helping children and adults, individually, in couples, in families and groups achieve strength, peace and confidence by improving conflict resolution, communication, stress and anxiety, anger management skills, child and adolescent behavioral problems, and parenting skills as well as improved functioning and decreased emotional distress related to depression, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress and bipolar disorders. Through a combination of interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral and motivational approaches I have seen my clients make meaningful and lasting transformations in both emotional and behavioral dimensions. I provide evidence-based, focused, and time-limited treatment with documented results for mental health, behavioral health and substance use issues.

As a clinical psychologist I strive to provide a transformative experience that not only resolves the symptoms and issues that brought you to treatment, but also develops deeper insight and awareness that promotes lasting change. I work to collaborate with you to develop a plan for continued growth that reflects your life-long plans, goals, and unmet needs. To that end, I strive to facilitate an experience for you of change in those aspects of your life that are most meaningful to you, including your inner world, relationships, spiritual beliefs, work life and world views.

I have worked in the mental health field since 2018 and I have came to favor therapeutic modalities such as Person-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to develop a genuine therapeutic alliance with each client rooted in an empathetic and nonjudgmental stance. I believe that we all have our own concept of what peace is and yet sometimes struggle to unlock what it takes to get there. I approach therapy with an ability to offer clients evidence-based remedies to their immediate emotional suffering while at the same time leaving space for a partnered exploration of long-term solutions.

I normalize the self-doubt that you are going through. If you resonate with one of the aforementioned questions, I can partner with you to validate you and to determine the best solutions that will help you feel you can thrive despite all the challenges you may face.
