Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Madison, WI

Depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders can be debilitating with their long lasting symptoms. It is challenging to know where to start when working through difficult emotions and challenges. I like to make a collaborative effort with individuals to create treatment goals that aren't only manageable, but effective for long-term effects. Individuals that struggle with social interactions and a lowered self esteem are able to take matters into their own hands, and we all need a bit of help sometimes.

I work with many young adults (university students and young professionals) and with people from across the lifespan. I have experience with both mental health needs (mostly life transitions, depression, and anxiety) and with folks wanting to change their relationship with substance use (who are at a point in their recovery process where outpatient therapy can meet their needs).

I believe therapy is a collaborative process in which we will work together to determine your goals and then achieve them. Because I work both cognitive-behaviorally and psychodynamically, I am able to work with you on two different, but both very important levels depending on your goals. On one level, I can help you simply feel better and improve your coping skills. And on another level, and to the extent to which you are interested in doing so, I can help you understand the deeper roots of your symptoms and life patterns.
