I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy for individuals (ages 4-adult), couples and families located in the Lake Country Area in Southeast Wisconsin. Children ages 4 yrs and older can benefit from counseling through a blended approach of parent coaching, behavioral modification, emotion regulation and learning healthy ways to cope.
Being a teen is hard these days, therapy can help process through all concerns, including school performance and future worries, peer pressure, drug and alcohol use and parent conflict. Life is a journey and it helps to have a supportive ear to process through life struggles and find healthy ways to cope, build self esteem and set goals.

Addiction & Recovery
Report
An addiction is a chronic disorder in which an individual is blinded by a substance, or engages in an activity, that gives them an immense amount of pleasure but has become detrimental to their everyday life. Compulsive behaviors and addictions can temporarily provide confidence, control, validation or other emotions lacking in one's life, but the behavior may not stop until the root of the problem is addressed.
Conflict Resolution

We all have moments of frustration whether they be associated with a friend, a family member, or a disagreement in your everyday life, but there are several positive strategies to utilize when it comes to dealing with conflict.
According to the Office of Human Resource Development at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, conflict is understood by analyzing various behaviors and the consequences each behavior produces on individuals living the dilemma.Avoidance: This is the person who wishes to ignore the problem and will allow it to dissipate or squander.

Couples Counseling
Report
Factors of everyday life can put an abundant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication. When problems go unresolved, or a partner is suffering from mental illness or health complications, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame.
Family Counseling
Report
Is your family going through a rough patch? Whether the issue itself, stems from a lack of understanding between those involved, sibling conflict, or developmental disagreements with a child, a difficult situation can have an effect on the entire family. Family counseling, or family therapy, can be helpful when problems arise and can help restore and improve communication.
