More about Kathy

  • 32 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Therapy is an ideal way to build skills, gain information and empowerment, deal with trauma, and work toward achieving life goals. We are not born understanding how to take care of ourselves and our mental wellness, and we all need a little help sometimes. I specialize in cognitive therapy, assisting people to change self defeating thoughts and behaviors in their lives. My style is warm, nonjudgmental and compassionate. I am a licensed therapist in the state of Wisconsin. I offer only day time sessions at this time.
