Therapists Beginning With F in Wisconsin

Seeking therapy is a courageous first step towards better understanding how past and current experiences impact individual wellbeing. I believe the most important part of treatment is establishing a trusting client-therapist relationship. I work to build a warm, open environment so you feel safe when sharing difficult thoughts and feelings. There are times in life when our usual coping strategies are not enough and feelings of helplessness and inadequacy can take over. Therapy can help to successfully navigate life's challenges and make positive changes that will contribute to improved feelings of competence in managing relationships, transitions, and other stressors more productively.

Life not going quite as smoothly as you hoped? Relationship not as fulfilling as it was in the early days? Struggling with past hurts and trauma? Or feeling less motivated or more anxious? My passion to explore, learn, and help others, motivates me to find the best ways to help you become a better, happier, more fulfilled you. Truly, I believe transformation and change is possible through your own self-discovery and connection with others. I combine my humor and straight forward approach with a safe and encouraging environment. Together we work on goals and a plan for you to move forward to great opportunities for change!

I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples who are dealing with trauma and different life stressors.

If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, I can help you become a participant in your own change. If you've experienced grief or trauma, I offer a safe space in which to unpack it. I believe in letting you know exactly what is going on through the entire therapeutic process, so you will never be in the dark about my intentions or the direction you are going. I am especially effective at helping you deconstruct and examine your role in existing issues. We will develop practical, everyday skills to help make you a more mindful, self-aware person.

Are you feeling alone in a difficult situation or struggle? You don't have to navigate it by yourself.

Finding expert help to sort out whether a person has an autism spectrum condition/disorder can be difficult, often involving long wait lists for children and youth. It may be difficult to find someone who understands how to diagnose people at your age, for adults, or in your particular situation. Most people wondering about whether autism or other neurodivergence describes them or a loved one want answers now so that they can move forward toward achieving their life goals with greater understanding of their own, unique strengths and challenges.

Life and relationships can be hard at times and sometimes we just need an objective person to walk with us and provide wisdom, encouragement and a listening ear.

So if you have reached the point of feeling helpless with nowhere else to turn, please don't give up, I am here to serve you. I take a faith based approach and believe there is hope for your situation.

Are you tired of being held hostage by your anxiety or OCD? Has the constant worry, doubt or intrusive thoughts made it difficult to live life? I have a passion for working with some of the toughest themes of anxiety and/or OCD. I can help you create ways to cope and respond differently to the worry, doubt and uncertainty, so that you can be present in your life and work towards your values. Imagine what it would be like if your anxiety was not so powerful? What would be different?

My practice centers around building relationships and learning how to take care of ourselves and others. I find that people come to therapy hoping to find someone to tell them the answers, and my goal is to help people become of aware of the answers they already have: I am not the expert, you are. My practice is based in attachment theory and trauma recovery, helping people understand the physiological and developmental processes behind their behaviors, and guiding people towards lasting change while providing a caring and compassionate place to heal.

Like everyone else, my life did not come without challenges. When I became an adult, I quickly learned that I was not prepared for life and found myself stuck. Eventually I went to therapy and it had a profound affect on me. My perspective changed. And a few years later I returned to school and pursued my passion for working with people at this level. Having this healing experience as a seeker made me more understanding of others. And being heard by someone can be profound.

When anxiety becomes overwhelming, it interferes with relationships, confidence, and the ability to perform your best. Breaking the avoidance, overthinking, checking and self-doubt cycle is possible. I take a warm and enthusiastic approach in guiding the therapeutic process for adults living with OCD, panic attacks, phobias, illness anxiety, sports performance anxiety, skin picking and hair pulling. I have over 11 years of counseling experience and 20 years in the mental health field. My work now focuses on helping adults, athletes, university students, and working professionals overcome obsessive worry and return to valued living.

Pain. Pain is at the root of what typically initiates the desire for change. We have all endured some type of pain…however our world has somehow taught us to compare it to other’s. When we do this, we tend to not trust or believe that ours is enough to be looked at, enough to be talked about, enough to be held. I promise you whatever it is it deserves to be processed and healed.
