Attachment-based Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

Therapy is a place for you to name areas of pain, a place to feel without judgment, and a place to reclaim what is yours. Shame is the source of so much of this pain and judgment, convincing you that you are broken. Shame is often so intertwined with sexuality because of the societal silence around the topic. Perhaps sex is painful, perhaps you are more aware of others desires than your own, perhaps you feel empty from running on fumes and enjoyment is the last thing on your mind. Whatever the reason, engaging your sexual health can help overall wellness, and ultimately be the way back into relationship with yourself!

I am experienced therapist who helps individuals and couples address challenges, enrich relationships and achieve deep insights into their personality and their emotions. My clients find that I offer a pragmatic, intelligent and empathetic response to their concerns. I focus on the immediate challenges that my clients are facing, while helping them to see themselves and their relationships in deeper way.

I work primarily with couples and individuals experiencing relationship distress, mood disturbances and adjustment problems. Some of the outcomes that my clients typically seek are improved means of managing conflict, increase in positive emotional experiences , and ways to interact and relate more meaningfully. I focus on helping my clients gain deeper insights, identify and utilize their strengths and acknowledge and understand their emotional experiences.

I am a compassionate individual who is dedicated to the healing journeys of survivors who have been through trauma. I am certified in trauma informed care and I have experience working with adult clients from various backgrounds with complex trauma histories. My approach is collaborative, nurturing, empathetic, direct, and non-judgmental because I believe a safe, warm, and accepting environment is essential to the therapeutic process and guiding clients through their healing.

My focus is in working with clients who live in some way that is outside of a societal expectation or norm. My style is rooted in the idea of collective liberation, and my clients are queer folx, trans folx, changemakers and activists, those living with chronic illness, survivors of relational and systemic trauma; those with body types, cultural identities, family or relationship structures that differ from those represented frequently or positively in mainstream media.

My therapeutic philosophy is that it's not what is wrong with you but what happened to you. I believe that symptoms like anxiety and depression are not signs of weakness but messages to our mind and body telling us that something is not right and needs to be addressed. Maladaptive ways of coping may have once served us by dulling stress or pain but are not working any more, and so we have to learn new, healthier, more adaptive coping skills. I believe both the body and mind work together and are ultimately designed to survive, heal and thrive. Sometimes we just need understanding, validation and support to navigate the process.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with over 16 years of experience. I currently enjoy working with adults (18+) across the lifespan through individual therapy. I'm trained in behavioral modalities (CBT, DBT) but use an integrative and trauma-informed approach with clients primarily experiencing depression and anxiety. My other areas of focus include parenting issues, relationship stress, trauma, attachment, ADHD, and foster care/adoption related concerns. I'm down to earth, compassionate, and looking forward to partnering with you.

I practice sex therapy, individual therapy, and couples therapy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I enjoy helping clients ages 16-60 with issues in individual mental health, sex and sexuality, relationships, and family dynamics. Using a radically body- and sex-positive approach, I help people with sexual concerns including sexual pain, desire and arousal issues, out of control sexual behavior, difficulty with orgasm, recovering healthy sexuality after trauma, polyamory, swinging, kink, gender and orientation discovery, and concerns over porn usage. Cultural humility and racial justice are very important to me. Health at Every Size aligned.

It will not come as a surprise to anyone when I say, we all encounter life challenges that can leave us uncertain, preoccupied, or feeling like we are treading water. In moments like these, it can be helpful to meet one on one with a trained psychological professional.  These one on one sessions can offer us the space to be heard, discuss our experiences openly, and offer chances for us to see our challenges from more than one point of view. Often when we are able to see challenges from more than one point of view, we can learn from them in ways that can help us grow. 

My practice is half children and half adults. Having fostered and adopted myself, I am particularly skilled to assist foster and adoptive family needs. I also use play, expressive arts, sand tray and music to assist in therapy. Clients with thought disorders, mood disorders, anxiety and depression are particularly welcome. I am located in the east side of Milwaukee near the lake.

In my 10+ years of clinical practice I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with a variety of mental health illnesses. I have done this work both individually and in couples and family therapy sessions. I have given special focus to adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, self-harming, self-esteem, and self-identity issues. I am also currently increasing my specialized focus on adoption issues and anxiety treatments. I enjoy working with the 10-25 year old age group but in my years of private practice have worked with children as young as 5 and adults as young as 65.

Integrative Psyche is a mental health clinic providing individual, family, and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. We also conduct (neuro)psychological evaluations. Typical presenting problems include concerns about attention/ADHD, hyperactivity, trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, disruptive behavior, social interactions/Autism, life stress, and cognitive impairments among others. The mission of Integrative Psyche is to offer comprehensive services for unified client care. Our vision is to assist clients in reaching and maintaining self-integration within their daily lives.

My goal in therapy is to offer a space for clients to feel understood and accepted and I believe the healing comes through connection. Building a collaborative, safe, and trusting therapeutic relationship is central to my approach as I help clients find meaning and purpose in their lives and develop healthier relationships with others and themselves. I recognize that each of us gets lots of messages in this world and many of them are negative. I work to help people identify and overcome these negative messages by embracing their strengths to live a satisfying life.

Has your "I do" turned into "I'm not sure"? Or perhaps you've discovered the love you have for your spouse doesn't seem to be enough? Maybe feelings of emptiness are overpowering every area of your life? You want relief from those feelings of loneliness and emptiness, but it seems you can't seem to find it.

I believe that creating art serves as communication between our inner and outer worlds. It is a natural form of expression that can bring about healing and recovery. I am deeply committed to helping people find meaning and purpose in their lives. Through the creative process, I help clients discover their strengths and overcome feelings of emptiness and hopelessness. As the founder of Milwaukee Art Therapy Collective, I have worked to create an art studio that sparks creativity and to provide a nurturing therapeutic space for hope and healing.

A large part of my practice is inclusive of conducting (neuro)psychological evaluations. Typical presenting problems include concerns about attention/ADHD, learning, trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, memory, disruptive behavior, hyperactivity, social interactions/Autism, dementia, neurobehavioral disorders, traumatic brain injury, and cognitive impairments among others. Evaluations assist with diagnosing, offering treatment recommendations, noting progress and current level of functioning, assisting with getting school-related help, recommendations for guardianship, etc. I also offer therapeutic services. I believe that developing a deeper understanding of oneself is important so individuals can become free to embrace their inner strengths, solidify their belief systems, and reach their greatest potential.
