Experience & Education
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from UW-Stevens Point and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Lakeland College, Sheboygan, WI. My professional experience includes working with adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders, adults who suffer from schizophrenia and other chronic mental illnesses, college students in a university setting, domestic violence offenders and offenders who are transitioning from incarceration to community living.
Focus
More specifically, I focus on working with those who are considered to be suffering from what is called Complex Trauma. Although not a formal diagnosis, those suffering from Complex Trauma are those who have experienced on-going trauma, typically during childhood, such as abandonment, whether physical and/or emotional, abuse, neglect, poverty, oppression, have a caregiver who suffers from addiction or mental illness, or grew up in dysfunction and chaos. Complex Trauma can also be caused by an abusive relationship during any time in the life span. I work with adults only. I do not work with children or teens.
Why Seek Out Therapy?
There are many reasons why people seek therapy. They may be feeling down and depressed. They may be very anxious and becoming afraid of doing things they used to easily do. Some people are having obsessive thoughts with a lot of anxiety and they are frightened by this. Some people’s relationships are falling apart and they can’t fix it on their own. Regardless of what brings you to inquire about therapy, your struggles are real and they are important.
Why Now?
Many people have exhausted their resources. They’ve talked about their issues to a number of people without much help or improvement. Others around them start to grow tired of listening to the same thing over and over. It’s often not appropriate, or effective, to talk about painful issues with friends or family. They simply don’t know what to say or do and it often puts a strain on the relationship. Now you’ve got another problem besides the one you’ve been talking about.
Your Healing and Growth
Therapy gives you the opportunity to be listened to wholeheartedly with the intention of creating a plan to help you resolve your issue. Therapy offers you a place to express anger and frustration in a way that leads to healing. It gives you a safe place to hurt and cry about your suffering. It offers you the ability to learn new skills and engage in therapeutic techniques that lead to growth, empowerment and healing. It presents new knowledge to you that you can use to expand your thinking and the ways you relate to the world and others. It is a voluntary process that you choose to enter into. It is challenging at times. There’s no doubt it can be a scary decision to make, but it may be the best decision you’ve made in a long time.
