I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and families integrating interpersonal nuerobiology and experiential play based techniques. These interventions utilize play, art, music, movement, sensory based interventions, and sand tray techniques to provide a well rounded and effective approach for these age groups. I also prioritize parent support and empowerment. In our work together, I provide parents with effective strategies for supporting their child at home and effective practices for building connected and secure relationships.

My personal model of counseling begins with Alfred Adler’s belief that an individual begins to form an approach to life in the first 6 years of life (Cory, 2013). Because of this belief I refer to Erik Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development, particularly the infancy, early childhood, preschool and elementary age stages. As a Registered Play Therapist I will be able to provide mental health therapy for some of the youngest children in the Madison/HSV area. Play therapy serves the many needs of children who have been abused physically, emotionally, and mentally; many even before they were born.

I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, adjustment disorders, behavior disorders, life transitions, and relationship issues. I have experience working with adolescents with behavioral and emotional issues in a residential treatment setting; as well as with adults in a short-term inpatient setting. This background provides me with a unique understanding of potential problems and effective solutions. I work with clients (and their parents) to help develop problem-solving skills, coping tools, communication skills, and emotional resilience.

We often find ourselves locked in invisible struggles—silent, fatiguing, and unending. The chronic stress of life can build into a towering, immovable force that of us cannot handle on our own. These struggles can become particularly intense for marginalized members of our society, but regardless of one's walk of life, sometimes the issues we face can simply become too much to process. In these moments, we seek outside support—something to help us manage our issues such that life becomes livable once again.

Sometimes life doesn't go the way we thought or planned. Maybe it's your career, relationships, loss of a friend or loved one, parenting or all of the above. We have so many struggles and mountains to climb in life but you don't always have to go through those alone.

I specialize in helping adults & adolescents express and understand their emotions, strengthen relationships, & gain confidence through self-reflection. No two people are alike, which is why I never rely on a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Instead, in a respectful environment, my clients and I co-create an individualized plan to meet their goals. We will focus on reducing current suffering, while also exploring factors from your past that may contribute to present day difficulties. I view my role as helping people become their best selves. I welcome clients who are eager for change & ready to invest in themselves.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don’t believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a counselor can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

We are at the vanguard of a scientific revolution in psychology and neuroscience. Research has repeatedly demonstrated that by synchronizing emotional, behavioral, and physical health, we increase our capacity to understand, cope, and overcome anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, or other issues that prevent us from reaching our maximum potential in life. By implementing the latest research and clinically proven methods/techniques, we are able to gain a much more accurate picture of ourselves and the world around us. Therefore, we are able to find hope, formulate solutions, take action, create opportunities and achieve the life we want.

Obstacles, barriers, bumps, and other synonyms for negative events that occur in life can leave feelings of despair and emptiness which leads to negative thinking and low self-esteem or self-worth. As wonderful as life is, we experience pain and stress. Amazingly, in most instances, we are able to cope with adverse events and continue enjoying life; however, sometimes, the pain feels too much to bear. Too much to bear alone. Too much to “burden” our families and friends with, or at least that’s how it feels. Talk therapy can provide that safe space for healing and help regain hope.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, 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 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.
