The Alliance Therapists in Milwaukee, WI
In my practice I focus on those who have been feeling "stuck." You may have been to see therapists before, but the core problem doesn't seem to go away. The core of many issues related to depression, anxiety, and other life challenges come in how we process and manage emotions. When feeling "emotionally uncomfortable," some of us might lash out and others of us might shut down. The type that shuts down might get very quiet, or say everything is fine when it is not fine, and be very uncomfortable with the idea that others might know what is going on in their heads. While this can keep us feeling safe, it also can feel isolating.

Life happens whether we want it to or not. Sometimes what happens is joyful, fulfilling, and transformative. It strengthens, affirms, and develops us. Other times what happens is shocking, stressful, or painful. It shakes us, urges us to question, and even wounds us. What has happened to you? And what is motivating you to sort through the 'stuff' that has happened or is happening? I will meet you at whatever stage, transition, or journey you are arriving, and will work with you on all levels: mind, body, spirit.

During this time, human connection is as important as ever. I believe that as human beings, we can find our balance when we are provided with a safe, supportive, growth-promoting environment. When we put in purposeful work and develop a helpful skill set, we are able to move towards our values. I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach that is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment are an integral component of my philosophy. I work with individuals who are ready to make change in their lives.

Therapy isn't for the weak. It requires dedication, vulnerability, self-reflection, and perseverance. There will be times it feels like things are getting worse, and times where you feel uncomfortable and want to quit. These are the times I want to sit with you. I want to be there as you gain insight into yourself and what you need to heal and be mentally well. I want to facilitate confidence in the discomfort, leaning into the unknown, trusting that it will help you grow in the ways necessary for measurable change. We can do that together. Therapy is not easy, but it is worth it. And so are you.

As a practitioner, I recognize that difficult life experiences can deeply impact a person’s emotional and physical well-being. My goal as a guide is to hear my client’s experiences, process their journey, and help them develop a meaningful understanding of themselves.

My ideal client is any young adult who feels challenged by life's current twist and turns or who is feeling stuck because they believe that they can't overcome the past. A person like this needs support, clarity, honesty and empathy. That client needs a place to cry, laugh, be angry and vent without the fear of being judged. This client would be able to develop goals that free them from the shackles that bind them mentally, physically and spiritually. They would be free to recreate new alliances with a faith or family that may have harmed or injured or even become more loving of a body that was violated.

I created Black Sheep Wellness as a space for people who have ever felt out of place, pressured to fit into boxes that don't reflect who they truly are, or follow patterns that don't serve them. My practice is rooted in the belief that authenticity is not something to fix, but something to be honored. I work with individuals and couples navigating neurodivergence, codependent relationship patterns, and those who identify as “minimizers” who want support coming out of their shell. I also support gender-diverse clients navigating social and medical transitions. My practice is sex-positive and knowledgeable of ENM/poly relationships.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist with over five years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families navigating emotional distress, behavioral patterns, and addictive patterns. My integrative approach draws from CBT, DBT, attachment, and trauma-focused work, grounded in curiosity, compassion, and embodied awareness. I believe healing comes not just through insight, but through connection to one’s inner experience, wisdom of the body, and external environment. I help clients explore the felt sense of their emotions, reclaim lost or exiled parts of themselves, and cultivate deeper self-understanding and growth.
