Life throws a lot our way and sometimes it can be hard to know how to handle it all. Most of us were never taught the tools to manage emotional and mental challenges, which can lead to anxiety and depression. Let me help you uncover what’s keeping you from living your best life! I have a unique ability to relate to my clients on a personal level. I view therapy as a collaborative process that can lead to growth. My style includes authenticity, humor, warmth, and provides a safe space for my clients to feel welcomed, heard and validated. I am a safe place to land each week. Let me help carry the weight!

No client is an island but a connected member of a family, so I often practice therapy with parents or spouses, and siblings. My style is practical, focusing on solutions. I am creative and find it essential to evaluate each client’s unique needs in the therapy office. For example, I often use hands-on therapy, such as making art or playing, to help with expression and focus. Parenting does not come with instructions. It is mysterious. But, the smallest successes can produce a profound sense of accomplishment. Helping parents find their way through counseling and walking along side of you through that journey is my mission.

I love working as an art therapist. In sessions, we’ll focus on making art, self-exploration, finding solutions, and creative play. Art can help you find direction, discover inner strength, write a new story and explore beliefs that make you unique. I provide support, guidance and space for you to have a safe, encouraging therapeutic experience. I provide all art materials for you to use and will help you explore different materials during each art therapy session.

I am passionate about using EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to assist clients struggling with performance blocks, PTSD, complex trauma, complicated grief, pet grief, sexual abuse, adjustment, relationship trauma, medical trauma, creative flow and addictions. Shadow work can be incredibly effective when seeking assistance with subconscious blocks.

As a Licensed Psychologist, I offer counseling sessions for adults, children, couples, and families. I believe in the uniqueness of each individual, recognizing your diverse interests and unique personality. I aim to foster an environment of understanding, helping you gain awareness and practice effective skills that equip you to overcome personal obstacles and thrive.

Do you struggle with self-doubt and overthinking? Do you have a loud inner critic? Have you experienced a major loss? I help individuals gain clarity and feel empowered while navigating major life transitions (death of a loved one, new parents, empty nesters, job or relationship change, infertility, unexpected pregnancy, new health diagnosis). Through caring and purposeful sessions, you will find support, learn mindfulness techniques and thought management strategies that will help you get to know yourself better so that you can make difficult decisions and move forward in your life.

Over the course of an individual's life, new events can lead to a disruption in the ability to effectively cope with stressors that may have once been handled effectively. As such, my professional focus is on helping clients who have been through a traumatic/stressful event heal more effectively so that they may resume their lives in a healthier and happier manner. I work primarily from a Cognitive-Behavioral and Strength-based approach, and specific mental health concerns I specialize in include, but are not limited to, Relationship Difficulties, Parenting, Addiction, Depression/Anxiety, Trauma/PTSD, and Grief.

Since 1980 I have served those struggling with mental illness and personal problems in greater Milwaukee. I mainly help adults and older adults individually. Common topics I treat include depression, bipolar disorder, codependency, abuse, worry, grieving, chronic pain and health issues, and generally dealing with changes. Many I see experienced a long slow decline over time when that, "Straw that Broke the Camel's Back," landed. It became clear that things were just not working, and they need to try something different. That's when many of my people called me.

I have been providing therapy for over 30 years, specializing in treating anxiety, panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, relationship issues and individuals with disabilities. Life provides us with numerous challenges and struggles, however, I have found that we have the ability to create many do-overs during our life-time. Therapy is a great way to create change, learn self-acceptance and heal.

Currently accepting new clients! It takes tremendous courage to turn the spotlight inwards and work on ourselves. I consider it a genuine privilege to walk alongside people as we navigate their struggles and successes. It is why I have such deep respect for the people who walk through my door. If you are that person, know this: ALL of you is welcome here. Meaningful relationships are central to our well-being, just as much as water or air; however, they often are the source of intense pain. Our therapeutic work will be built on a foundation of trust, and focus on developing the relationships with yourself and others you deserve.

I specialize in providing therapy to men for a variety of issues. This includes all men, straight or gay. Relationship issues, anxiety & mood issues, and chronic illnesses are common problems in my practice. This can also include rebuilding after a painful divorce process. Having good relationship skills whether at home or work is an increasingly important skill to have in order to function well.

Are you looking for a warm and trusting connection to help you be truly seen and understood? Do you feel depressed, anxious, lost, or stuck? Do you struggle with self-esteem or relationship challenges? With support and compassion I facilitate self-awareness, transformation and a greater sense of well being. I provide tools to work through trauma and grief, diminish negative patterns. and increase self compassion. With over 27 years experience, my approach is holistic. I honor diversity and complexity, I work best with those interested in exploring their inner resources, gaining insight into themselves, and releasing blocks to progress.

The narratives of life can leave us feeling rough and jagged. Sometimes we need someone to come alongside us as we navigate the rapids, and discover the beauty and new form waiting in still waters. I consider being a part of this process to be a privilege and an honor. I serve children birth-adolescence, families, and adults. I am able to address a variety of needs, with a specialization in serving those who have experienced trauma. I provide an encouraging, supportive, attuned, relationship-focused environment, that is mindful of culture, and, if desired, incorporates faith into the work.
