Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

With compassion and understanding, I work to create a safe and trusting environment for individuals to share their inner most thoughts and feelings.  I will also meet each individual where they are in life and to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth the they are committed to accomplishing. As a therapist uniquely trained to listen in depth, I offer my warm, thoughtful style and 15 years of experience to listen with patience, understanding and insight.  If you are wanting more than just listening and understanding, you maybe seeking therapy because today's troubles express how something's not working for you.  My psychodynamic approach considers your current circumstance, past history, feelings and motivations, dreams and disappointments. In short, you as a whole person. By looking at you as a whole person, I can help you develop your self understanding and acceptance so that you can be more open of your strengths, accepting of your limitations, capable of a living a fuller life and confident about today.

Life can be challenging. When life gets tough, it is likely to influence how you feel and how you react.

Talking with a therapist you can connect with can help you look at your challenges in a new way and help you move forward to overcome life's difficulties.

Hey there, beautiful soul! Feeling like life's throwing too much your way lately? Take a deep breath, sis. You're not alone in this. I'm here to walk alongside you through those tough times, especially those unique to us women.
