It can be a lot to try to find the therapist that is right for you. I get it, I’ve been in that seat, too. But it’s also a lot to keep living and feeling the way you may be feeling right now. Let’s start you on your way to feeling and living better. I could be the right fit for you if you are looking for a therapist where you can get all the things out of your head, and then leave the session with something to do, try, or think about. I am the therapist that gives homework. I want you to leave each session with the opportunity to be equipped with a new skill or thought to try when you are living your life.

Welcome to The Relationship Center of Milwaukee, where we specialize in providing couples with insights and skills needed for change. I understand the many ways in which our closest relationships hold great importance psychologically. Partnering with another can be a wellspring of immense joy, and just as easily, can induce some of our greatest frustrations, heartaches, and challenges. I understand that couples seeking therapy need more than a good listener to help them navigate their way to healing. They need someone who can guide them in both the individual and relational growth that promotes emotional connection and well-being.

People seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes, the issues they are struggling with start out minor and they want help before the issues become too difficult. On other occasions, the problems have become unmanageable and dealing with them alone becomes too daunting. Some of those personal issues include anxiety, depression, stress at home, school and/or work, emotional dysregulation, among others. Therapy can help get a handle on any of those issues to help people carry on with every day living in a more productive fashion.

Hardship in life may be inevitable, but emotional turmoil does not have to be. At times we exhaust our coping resources, which leaves us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. With space and support, I fully believe each person can become “unstuck” to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Increasing self-awareness can help us get unstuck and influence personal growth and self-acceptance. By prioritizing a strong therapeutic relationship characterized by warmth, safety, and understanding, I can help you develop effective symptom management skills and facilitate deeper exploration of the underlying roots that gave rise to your struggles.

You’re at your limit. No, you’re PAST your limit. You’re running on empty. You feel like you’re totally just breaking. You don't really have time for therapy, but things just aren't getting better. Maybe no one seems to understand how you feel. Things are really REALLY freaking hard right now. But they don’t have to stay that way any longer. Is therapy hard? YUP, for sure. But not as hard as continuing to live with the way things are now. You’re been suffering for too long. You deserve to heal and be well. You deserve to leave this behind you and enjoy your life. You deserve to feel like YOU.

Life is a journey and the secret to fulfillment is learning how to journey well. Everyone gets stuck at various points on the journey. Symptoms then emerge that vary with the individual, such as depression, anxiety, compulsions, sleep problems, etc. When we need help, we look for someone with experience and a good psychological base to help us discover why we are stuck and how we keep ourselves stuck. We want someone who will help us find our voice and not superimpose their beliefs and judgments on us. My Jungian ecopsychology framework also helps those who are worried about environmental issues .

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
