Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Wisconsin

Reaching out for help to gain mental health balance is a tough decision. My approach to healing is nurturing YOUR intrinsic seed of survival, your attitude towards therapy is your key to healing. Together we can work towards reaching YOUR goals , for YOU to gain the ability to live life to your maximum potential.

When things go wrong in life, we can get knocked off center, struggle to stay afloat, or lose our way. Sometimes we may feel we've moved on from life's hardships, but negative reactions and reoccurring thoughts and feelings can continue to reel us back, making the present feel like an ongoing struggle. Our minds, bodies, and nervous systems are remembering the memories of distressing life events, even when we don't consciously think of them every day. We get stuck in anxiety and depression- symptoms of inadequately processed, stuck distress from our lives, both past and present.

I work with adults, children, and families who hope to live life abundantly. During our work together, we will focus on improving quality of relationships with self and others.

Unfortunately, sometimes our painful past experiences create stress or other overwhelming feelings that hinder us from living life how we'd wish. That's where I come in.
