Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in treatment and management of diagnoses such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, and Asperger's Syndrome. Much of my practice revolves around Adult ADHD and the impact on relationships, improving social skills and relationships, bullying and LGBTQ issues, and working with teenagers navigate through this tough period. Practitioners frequently refer patients to me for psychological evaluations in order to clarify diagnoses, understand possible barriers to progress in therapy, and provide insight regarding how emotions affect one's ability to cope effectively. Recently I became certified as an ADHD coach as well! Contact me for information regarding those services!!

Free phone consultations. I offer highly effective marriage and couples therapy, as well as individual therapy for substance abuse, sexual/internet addiction, depression, anxiety, life transitions, divorce, health/sports psychology, trauma (childhood, sexual, military), spiritual and other concerns. I also treat adolescents facing a wide variety of issues.

Brian is an exceptionally open, kind-hearted therapist providing emotional safety for clients to explore their concerns. With warmth and humor, he assists clients struggling with a wide range of concerns including addictions (heroin, alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, etc.), anxiety, depression, self-worth, trauma, conflicts, and family or other relationship issues. Upon resolving initial concerns, clients are offered time and a safe place to process and work towards developing strategies to maintain a stable mind and a more fulfilling life.

Every client is unique and brings to the table his or her own set of values, beliefs, motivation and personality. Each presenting problem that I address in my practice reflects my client's personal journey; past, present and future. Our experiences shape us and our beliefs help to define how we relate with one another, how we feel about ourselves and our loved ones. I work with young children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

Relationships...with others and ourselves... are at the core of human experience. I work to empower couples, individuals, and families to live lives of meaning, connection, love, and happiness. I have dedicated training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for relationship healing. Grounded in research and regarded as the most effective approach to couple therapy, EFT works to help partners rekindle feelings of love, connection, security, and happiness. The goal is reconnection. I also utilize Brainspotting, one of the new generation therapies, to promote a more rapid and deeper processing, integration and healing from a variety of psychological problems.

A 'good fit' between client and therapist is a key factor in successful therapy. I offer you warmth, wisdom and depth of experience. Together, we will build trust, self-awareness and positive change -- focusing on your unique situation and specific needs. My approach to therapy is always empowering, creative and collaborative. Specializing in: relationship healing, stress resiliency, grief, depression, anxiety, chronic illness and pain, mind-body wellness, hypnotherapy, sexuality and intimacy, elder care, navigating transitions and midlife renewal. You will gain fresh perspective, inspiration, tools and hope.

I help adults who are really struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems and difficult situations. I'll help you tap into your inner strength and personal power so you can make the changes needed to feel better and create a more fulfilling life. We will work best together if you really want to improve your mood, better your relationships, or get through difficult times.

If you struggle with the disease of addiction and have a desire to get clean and sober and have a willingness to live a life of meaning and purpose free from the ravages of active addiction, there is hope! I know recovery is possible for everyone. I specialize in the treatment of Addictions. I have nearly 30 years of experience treating individuals with addiction and currently have a private practice in Mequon WI. I use a straight forward and honest approach to help people get clean and sober. I can assist you with maintaining your recovery or guide you with furthering your recovery from the disease of addiction.

I enjoy meeting and working with people of all ages and with diverse concerns.

Have you lost your balance with life and your primary relationships due to chronic illness, conflicts, depression, family issues or work concerns? Finding it difficult to focus on your goals? I am interested in the connection between health (emotional and physical) and relationships. I explore symptoms within the broader context of our relationships. I work with individuals, couples and families with issues of chronic illness, general medical health, anxiety and depression. I have a specialized interest in heart disease and cancer and how it affects the patient as well as other family members.

Clients come to therapy with individual needs, goals and expectations. It may be ambivilance towards a long term relationship based more on convenience than love. You may feel growing frustration and hopelessness with a marriage filled with conflict. A gnawing feeling of being 'stuck' or lacking direction and purpose. Anxiety or depression create barriers to everyday tasks. Parenting challenges leave you questioning your abilities, longing to help your child. I offer a collaborative, compassionate approach with my clients, supporting your goals with insight and empowering you through a focus on your individual’s strengths.

There’s a saying, “time heals all wounds”. In truth, some things stay with us until we actively seek healing or resolution. If you are still waiting to feel better there is something you can do. I help people who, through no fault of their own have been impacted by something from their past or who are being affected by a more current event or situation causing distress, pain, fear, or an inability to live the way they want.

I enjoy working with clients that are ready for a change, or a least know on some level things need to be different. Whether you are looking for a shift in perspective, helpful coping skills, or an overhaul change in life, I am passionate about exploring the many ways of achieving those goals. Therapy DOES NOT have to be a daunting process! It can be full of wonderment, light, and healing- which I love being able to show my clients!

I strive to connect people to approaches that optimize wellness and activate client's creativity and flexibility in daily living. I treat adolescents and adults for anxiety, depression, life changes and transitions, adoption issues and incorporate spirituality as desired by clients. My clients tell me that I offer them a greater vision of themselves that helps them to rise above present setbacks and develop a positive outlook.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety, mood disorders, and relationship issues. It can be scary to think about making changes in your life, and surprisingly difficult to find a therapist to help you do that. The relationship between therapist and client is the most important thing in therapy-more important than any technique we use to work on problems. It is important to find someone you feel comfortable with and trust. I have a relaxed, warm, non-judgmental style and share my thoughts about the issues we discuss.

My approach in therapy is to be honest and direct with the people I work with, but in a way that is combined with compassion and understanding. I am often told by my clients that they feel they are truly listened to and not judged. I have success in working with people who want to alleviate stress, decrease depression and anxiety, identify and work through negative patterns and create more joy and passion in their lives.
