Therapists in Madison, WI

My first ten years as a psychotherapist were spent in New Orleans, where I worked, in part, to provide support and healing to members of a community ravaged by the traumas of Hurricane Katrina and the BP Oil Spill. This experience equipped me to serve people within the context of dramatic and disruptive life changes. I collaborate with my clients to manage their symptoms, transform the effects of trauma and grief, address creatively relationship issues, career changes and artistic blocks, and engender personal growth.

My clients are adult individuals, couples, and partners who want deeper relationships. They're experiencing life transitions, grief, or they've reached a point in their lives where old strategies aren't working anymore and they want to create new patterns in their lives. They want to release old hurts, feel more ease and freedom in their spirits and bodies, and understand themselves and their partners better.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with individuals, families and couples, struggling with past trauma, infidelity, trust, affected family members, suicidality, preparation of commitment, and next-step family planning. I see a diverse group of patients from all sorts of different backgrounds, cultures, sexualities, abilities, ages, and creeds.

My ideal client is someone whom is struggling in life and motivated to seek help and make the changes necessary in their thoughts, beliefs or circumstances to get back into wellness. I enjoy working with teens. Most of my career has been with at risk youth. I also work with women's issues, addressing underlying causes of stress and overwhelm. I use Imago and Gottman approaches with couples. When working with men, we discuss the need for vulnerability and self-acceptance. Anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss can all be successfully addressed with psychotherapy.

I provide confidential, easily accessible, quality, Online Therapy (video chat) to individuals, couples, and clinicians from the comfort of your home and I want you to be WELL. I truly believe that wellness won’t happen by accident. Wellness is a state of being healthy in your mind, body, and spirit and is a result of deliberate effort. Because of that I offer deliberate structured, thought provoking, mental health booster sessions and traditional therapy working towards goals you decide, since you are the expert on your life! I implement mindfulness, humor and genuine care and attention to whatever issue you are trying to overcome.

We love to collaborate with clients to help them draw from their own expertise, build on their own positive values, discover their own skills, and use these new tools to work through conflicts and hardships. We are systems therapist. What that means is: we like to approach problems that people have within the context of social, political and cultural storylines that influence the way we view ourselves and our own personal stories. We use this same approach in family therapy to seek ways to change the way the family system works rather than trying to "fix" a specific family member.

Change promotes growth. Whether self-generated or completely unexpected, change can be challenging for some, and inspirational for others. Having a clinical partner to join you as you navigate your journey can ease the stress that comes along with the inevitable changes that you will encounter throughout life. My clinical approach is to work with you to emphasize your personal strengths and to help you discover ways to feel at peace with yourself, especially when facing stressful times. I work with individuals and couples to help you feel supported as we partner together to accomplish your goals.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. You are the expert on yourself; I am just here to walk side-by-side with you on the path towards however you envision your healing journey and your most optimal self. If your goals are to go deeper, explore patterns, process emotions, build empowerment, discover your strengths, and understand the "why," we will work well together. My personal goal for each client is to create an environment of unconditional positive regard - to allow you a safe space to process, grow, and feel seen.

You're here and that tells me something about you. You're ready to make a change. Maybe you're in a place in life, or in your relationship, where you are feeling burned out or you no longer feel connected. You've found yourself here and now you want to find someone who might be able to "get it". Whether you're a professional experiencing burnout, a spouse feeling disconnected, or overcoming a major life event... you're ready to face those repeating patterns that you keep finding yourself in. If this sounds like you or your relationship, it's time to feel more fulfilled.
