Relationship Issues Therapists in Wauwatosa, WI
I also believe that the relationship between the client and therapist can be utilized to resolve these difficulties.
I approach therapy with the belief that the individual is more than the difficulties they are currently experiencing. I evaluate what clients want out of therapy, what meaning they make of their current difficulties and how these concerns manifest themselves. I work in a collaborative, strengths-based manner. I understand the desire for immediate relief of the difficulties that brings someone to therapy, while also bringing an openness to exploring the factors that contributed to the development of these difficulties. My approach is predominately psychodynamic, drawing from relational, systems, and gender-sensitive approaches.

Feeling that you've done all you can, yet your relationship seems lost in painful confusion and misunderstanding? We all wish for love and understanding, especially with people in our family and close relationships. Unfortunately, we often become entangled in anger and resentment that can be destructive. It feels impossible to break out of such painful patterns. Where do we begin? How will we restore integrity and trust? How will we decrease the likelihood we'll find ourselves in this kind of situation again in the future? Begin with re-establishing trust in yourself and in your ability to love well.

With deliberate and consistent commitment and teamwork we work toward uncovering the answers awaiting within the client, or, if a couple, within the relationship.
Therapy provides us the opportunity for greater self-discovery and deepened self-understanding. The person I enjoy working with is someone who is genuinely curious about what makes them tick, why they make choices that sink their dreams or sabotage the relationships important to them; but who are also wanting to know their strengths and talents so they can embrace and use them more effectively.

Communication is the cornerstone of a strong relationship, and my goal is to equip you with the tools to express yourselves clearly and genuinely.
Having conversations with your own spouse shouldn't be so hard, but many couples struggle to address their fears, hopes, and deepest yearnings in a way that brings them closer together. This loss of voice leads to unnecessary arguments and frustration. I help couples communicate openly about the things that matter. Together, we can break down the walls that create distance and misunderstanding.

I enjoy working with clients who may feel something is missing in their life, they don’t feel satisfied with where they are at, may feel overwhelmed or stressed, or just can’t exactly pinpoint why they don’t feel they are at their best. Low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, conflict, significant life stressors and much more can easily deter us from our goals in life and it takes some work to get us back on track. I believe in self-empowerment and a more holistic approach to overall well-being. With a strong collaborative, strength based, and client-centered approach, I can help you begin the life you deserve.

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.
