Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

The therapeutic relationship can be a very important one and, like any other healthy relationship, it is based on mutual respect, trust and commitment. I approach our work together with a nonjudgmental stance. I will meet you wherever you are in your life's journey and honor your unique strengths. I support clients in creating their most fulfilling lives, in line with their values and goals. I incorporate mindfulness into a collaborative and client-centered process and employ an honest, direct communication style combined with warmth, compassion, and humor. I strive for a balance of embracing both change and acceptance.

We all have things we like in our lives and things we'd like to change for the better. This may mean improving relationships, a desire to improve mood, and/or addressing health issues or social issues impeding on one's ability to have the life they want. We are all doing the best we can, but often we want something more out of life, and we need some help to bring this to fruition. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to identify what is going well and what might need change. It can also facilitate new effective ways of being.

Vulnerability is the strength that makes us humanly genuine. Through a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive lens, we will work together to uncover and build upon your resilience. I am here to empathically support your therapeutic journey and when you feel comfortable, I will gently challenge your preconceptions about yourself and the world around you. This is where growth happens. I encourage you to bring your fullest self to sessions, whatever that may entail, ie. humor, colorful language, creativity, authenticity…and I will do the same.

Why spend your energy trying to cope with what is, when you could use it to create what you really want? I love working with people who are motivated to make significant life change, even if they don't know where or how to begin! I focus on teaching clients to separate thoughts from feelings, tap into their inner core of intuitive awareness, and use their own inner guidance system -- to move toward their goals, and away from old patterns and obstacles to growth. Along the way, we bring in interesting discussions, good books, homework, mindfulness exercises, and of course, some humor!

Trying to ‘do it all’ can be exhausting. And, even while feeling successful, it’s easy to get worn down and feel like we aren’t living as fully as we’d like. Life is hard and relationships are complicated. You deserve the opportunity to find happiness and fulfillment. Therapy creates an opportunity for you to take time for yourself, to think through what you want to be different, and to fix what’s not working. For years, I have worked successfully with individuals, couples, and families to help them increase satisfaction and reconnect in ways that they’ve been missing.

Hi there! I'm a licensed counselor with a desire to help individuals become acutely aware of their worth and purpose in the world. Through an exploration of each individual’s unique psychosocial history and presenting circumstances, we collaboratively determine the evidenced-based treatment interventions that best cater to the client. I find value in incorporating a multi-systemic framework, helping clients identify how their various systems (family, friends, work, school, and community) contribute to presenting symptoms. I also welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into sessions to the extent that one is comfortable.

I am a therapist focused in helping individuals with trauma, stress, relationship issues, abuse, negative self-talk/image, anxiety, depression, and more. I look at each client holistically by using my skills as a certified integrative therapist by focusing on the mind, physical body and overall spirit. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy - life can be very challenging. Having an unbiased, safe, and compassionate space to build a therapeutic relationship and explore the past and find ways to gain control, relief, self-love and joy in life together are my goal as a therapist.

Stories are meant to be told! Let’s talk about the chapters of your story beginning where you feel most comfortable. Undoubtedly, you have faced challenges along the way but let’s also recognize your successes as they are likely what moved you through those challenges. I empower clients to be able to set healthy boundaries, improve communication, foster personal growth/personal insight, and ultimately achieve balance in their lives. Together, we can change the patterns in your relationships, thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors that keep you feeling stuck, so your story will be the one you want to be living today.

I work with individuals who come to therapy for a variety of reasons, including OCD, depression, anxiety, phobias, life transitions, and stress. I also provide gender affirming care for individuals 12 and older who are at various stages in their gender journey. I am affirming of poly relationship structures, and have significant experience and training in navigating gender identity exploration/transition, as well as sexual and racial identity development. I write letters of support for gender affirming surgery, and can typically get folks in within a week. I also provide ADHD testing and diagnostic assessments for folks 12 and up.

You are the expert on yourself and your life. And, I'd like to help you tap into your inner resources to get from where you are to where you want to be. As an individualistic, integrative therapist, I treat and respect you as the unique individual you are, and tailor my approach to meet your needs, pulling from a variety of techniques including ACT, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Expressive Arts, Attachment theory, and Solution-focused therapy. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify your goals and create a plan to help move you toward your more ideal self.

I have a passion for guiding others to discover their best self through the counseling process in a collaborative partnership. I find true joy in building a relationship with my clients that revolves around trust and support. I integrate a wellness perspective into my teaching and therapeutic pursuits. My therapeutic approach is integrative therapy with an emphasis on mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I am honored to be a person with whom friends, colleagues and clients have trusted to share their stories and trials and triumphs of life. I believe that our shared connections, compassion and authenticity are precious gifts to our health and wellness. The ups and downs of life often get in the way of becoming our best selves. I love working with clients who are struggling to find that voice of authenticity that’s been hidden by loneliness, comparing themselves to an impossible ideal, or even years of trauma and abuse. Together, we’ll work in collaboration, incorporating connection to mind and body to reclaim a sense of wholeness.
