Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Sheboygan, WI

I believe that everyone has their own journey that they are struggling with, and that often this journey is misunderstood and unidentified. I aim to help my clients understand their inner world, in order to help them understand how to help live a fulfilling and engaging life. I enjoy helping my clients understand the neurological basis of their actions, and help them change their response through a variety of interventions. I enjoy working with clients who recognize that their pain does not have to be their story, but can be the blocks on which they begin to recognize how to build a future that brings them joy.

I have learned throughout my career that being a compassionate listener is a very powerful tool to use, as I walk along side my clients on their life path.

My goal is to come along side you in your healing, reduce/eliminate triggers, increase self-worth and love, reduce anxiety symptoms, and create serenity in the mind, body, and spirit.

A therapist has three jobs: to listen, to teach and to instill hope. I'd be grateful for the opportunity to do those things for you. I consider myself a "guardian of potential"-I see people beyond the problems that bring them to my office and for who they really are. I have the ability to "reach the unreachable". You may be nervous about trying therapy for the first time, or you may have had bad experiences in the past, but I believe in the power of human connection and I believe you no longer have to live in the pain or circumstances you've been in. The time for change has arrived!

Anxiety, low self-esteem, addictive behaviors, and depression impact how we show up in our work and relationships, inhibiting our ability to reach our fullest potential. Sometimes we can feel too vulnerable talking to our friends and family about feelings of shame and guilt. Therapy is not only a safe, nonjudgemental space for expressing your concerns, but also an alliance that fosters positive change. Through unpacking the words of your inner critics, you have the opportunity to find your true self and experience self forgiveness, confidence, love, and acceptance.

You’re feeling overwhelmed and not sure what to do next (and the Netflix and ice cream aren’t cutting it). How you’ve been feeling has become so frustrating or debilitating that you started to Google therapists. You’re stuck not knowing what’s going on with yourself or even what to do about it. How great would it feel to be relieved of the pain you’re experiencing and feel confident in yourself. To get to a place where you get to be in control of your life again.

My approach is both collaborative and engaging working 'with' you and not just silently observing. Having worked with a wide range of clients from diverse backgrounds, I've learned to customize my approach to best meet 'your' needs and not force you to fit a predetermined modality.
