Therapists in Madison, WI

I am a neurodivergent friendly therapist who specializes in ADHD, life transitions, chronic illness, burnout and internal conflict. I strive to provide an environment that is safe and genuine, with a touch of humor. We all deserve a supportive space to be seen and heard so we can heal and grow. I am currently in the process of acurring hours towards my LCSW and am offering sessions at a discounted rate.

I bring to the table over 20 years of experience and research in one single disorder, ADHD. My previous role as an ADHD Coach helping individuals, couples, and families has now transitioned into a new role in psychotherapy as a Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in ADHD. I also offer formal ADHD diagnostic testing for children and adults. My ADHD treatment emphasizes education on ADHD and strategies designed to manage symptoms. Challenges within relationships are also a focus, especially to strengthen relationships affected by ADHD.

Parenting is difficult as is, but throw in trauma, mental health, and/or chronic illness, and it can feel like we're always treading water with no end in sight. As a chronic illness mama myself, I know how hard it can be to balance caring for our health & our kids! For over 10 years, I have been working with children, teens, & adults. I love working with parents & kids to assist them in meeting whatever goals they have from reprocessing trauma, building self esteem, or managing life transitions. Life can be hard, & I love helping others to recognize all the things worth celebrating in it especially themselves!

My areas of speciality include stress and anxiety, managing ADHD, burn-out, and high-stress careers. I work with people around their interpersonal relationships and their relationship with themselves, with realistic understanding of the demands of the modern world. I work well with clients who might not "like therapy" generally, and still recognize they might benefit from talking to someone. I also work with men looking to change relationship and emotional patterns, and have extensive experience with professionals and professional students.

There are many reasons for seeking guidance and today, you have taken the first courageous step by looking for help. I invite you to take the next step and call 608-577-4222 for a NO COST “get acquainted” phone consult. Maybe your current coping strategies are not working, or you haven't healed from emotionally painful life experiences/trauma that are negatively impacting you today. Perhaps you want to improve your relationship and learn effective communication skills. Together we can work to find effective solutions and coping strategies that work for you. I am honored to partner with you on your journey to your best self.

I treat adults who want to make meaningful changes in their lives, or perhaps need a new way to view an old problem. I am a responsive therapist, a real person, not an "mm hmm" therapist. I will listen well, and give feedback, you will not feel you are alone in whatever struggle brings you to my office. Relationships, life changes and transitions, losses - coping - these are some, but by no mean all, of the issues that we might work on together. Seeing a therapist is a positive choice when one feels frustrated or alone.

I work with clients ages 8 and up in a telehealth setting. I have worked with clients with presenting symptoms of ADHD, Autism, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, college students, times of transition and adjustment disorder, family conflict, parenting, peer relationships, stress, self-harm, grief, and loss, and I am an LGBTQ+ ally. We will work as a team to explore your goals and try to achieve them with science-based practices.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience working with young children, teens and families. I hold specialized training in evidenced-based play therapy, sensory processing disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, trauma-informed therapy, parent-child attachment, and attachment parenting. Through the use of play, relational and somatic therapies, I assist children and families in resolving difficulties and achieving a greater sense of well-being. My holistic approach creates a sacred space for clients and cultivates each individual’s and family’s innate capacity to heal.

I am welcoming new clients who are looking for help with life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, or traumatic experiences. I currently have the capacity to serve older teens and adults via telehealth using a wide range of evidenced-based techniques and approaches. Whether this is your first time in therapy or not I believe in equipping you with knowledge and tools to use throughout your life to overcome behavioral and emotional barriers. If you are unsure of your goals or ideal outcomes, we collaborate to outline what you hope to change, improve, and accomplish and use outcome metrics to measure progress.

I work closely with individuals who have lived through trauma and/or painful life experiences. I help them process their experiences to find their way toward healing; whatever that may look like for them, based on their individual goals.

I can help you come up with strategies and tools for anxiety, grief, depression and relationship issues. I specialize in ADHD and Autism needs. I respect you for who you are and support your growing and changing. You may be a therapist yourself, or have done a lot of therapy already - and need to find a safer space to process your feelings. I work with cultural grief and cultural awareness. I work with medical trauma, relationship challenges, and deep grief / frustration/ loneliness/anxiety/CPTSD. I’m trained in individual and relationship counseling, and am also a sex therapist, if that topic needs to be discussed.

Everyone just wants a better life. That is my philosophy and the point of view I come from when working with people that struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and other mental health issues. As a relationship expert, I have helped clients and couples work out differences and achieve clarity through the fog of misunderstandings. Communicaiton skills, coping and living better skills are just some of the tools that I have used to help my clients achieve a life worth living.

Parenthood can be confusing, isolating, & not at all what we were expecting! I am passionate about collaborating with individuals across the spectrum of pregnancy & parenthood, including new parents, queer parents, non-traditional families, non-gestational or adoptive parents, those who have experienced loss or infertility, & birth parents & those impacted by adoption. I also provide unbiased, evidence based pregnancy options counseling. I also offer support with adjustment to parenthood & guidance in gentle & respectful parenting for secure attachment.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I often see folks when they are going through an adjustment period. Maybe they're heading into middle school or college, or they are an adult who has their firstborn leaving the nest. I see clients who are reaching mid-life with unanswered questions and couples who are finding that one or both of them have changed. Many are feeling lingering effects from the pandemic and the global issues that we face. During these transition times, finding support, new strategies and tools can be helpful.

In a safe and non-judgmental environment, I strive to create a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship with each of my clients based on the practices of systems theory and marriage family therapy. My goal is to help you utilize your strengths and work toward enhancing a sense of well-being and personal satisfaction within your Self, so you can say "I Am Good" and believe it.

Change is hard but can be welcome relief when we are suffering. I welcome those seeking change, enthusiastically or reluctantly. We are all changing (the only constant). I work with people to make those changes conscious and long lasting. I help them find balance in the change process, recognizing successes and sitting in discomfort together. I have a wholistic approach to meet each client where they are through cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing and trauma informed care.

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.
