Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Middleton, WI

My practice is oriented towards helping men, young and old, face the challenges of being a man in today's world: learning to be emotionally intimate in relationships, balancing the demands of work and family, managing anger and other destructive impulses, learning to be a more involved and loving father, and finding one's true path in life. Beginning therapy is not easy for many men. I use my extensive experience in working with men to offer both the compassion and directness men need to find the courage within themselves to face these challenges.

Are anxiety, OCD, or depression symptoms limiting your life? Do you or a loved one have daily struggles with unwanted thoughts & worries, social anxiety, perfectionism or panic attacks? Over time, anxious thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms build & everyday stress can be debilitating. Symptoms are difficult to control, making going to school, performing at work and keeping up with relationships & responsibilities feel impossible. Seeking mental health treatment can be overwhelming and it's normal to feel worried or unsure. It takes tremendous strength to acknowledge that anxiety, fear & emotions are a barrier to enjoying life.

When we find ourselves struggling in our lives, engaging in therapy can make a difference.

Let’s talk about you. Your perspective about your life is valid and essential. Everyone needs someone on their side that will listen with an open heart and open mind. I work with people where they are. I use a strengths based perspective to help you advocate for yourself in your own life. Life happens. Hardships happen. Neurological differences, psychological and medical diagnoses are not a life sentence. Within each person is the incredible power to transform their own lives. Let’s work on those struggles to help you get what you want out of your life and find your own version of happiness.

Hello! I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to therapy but rather a collaborative process between myself and individuals or families that I work with. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy with other approaches to fit the individual needs of my clients. I view behaviors as communication. I love working with children and their families to understand those behaviors and learn better forms of communication while building healthy relationships and finding creative solutions that support the whole family. I also have experience working with individuals, young adults and the LGBTQIA+ community.

I work with autistic individuals and their families as well families who are concerned their child may have autism.

Our Illinois location specializes in early diagnostic evaluations for children 14 months to 5 years. In Madison, WI we support diagnostic services for children 14 months to 16 years. Mental health services in both locations span up to 26 years of age.
