Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

Mend Counseling aims to serve those seeking a straight forward approach to mental health counseling. The world is complex and each individual struggles with different aspects of life, living within their values, and finding a balance in health. Mend aims to create a meaningful relationship with each person that reaches out for aid to address their specific needs and struggles. Though depression, anxiety, substance use, and trauma are all too common each manifests itself in subtle and complex forms.

It IS possible to live a better life than the one you are now living. You just have to be intentional by taking the first step which is the most difficult one to take. You don’t have to do this alone. It would be honor to work with you to accomplish your goals.

I am a certified Licensed Clinical Therapist with more than 20 years' experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both one-on-one and group settings. As a compassionate therapist, I use a personalized approach to establish your treatment plan so you can attain a healthy, balanced lifestyle. As every person and situation is unique, my mission is to help you use your own inner strengths to define your journey, and reach your goals.

I enjoy working with adult clients who are interested in learning about their past and how it affects their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Often, these negatively impact and affect interpersonal relationships. I provide skills to my clients, which allow them to learn effective coping strategies. I assess what individuals would like to gain out of coming to therapy and customize their treatment to help them succeed in meeting their needs and goals.

Sometimes we can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. We can struggle to see our true worth or clear path to our goals. I will work with you to identify and work towards your goals by highlighting your strengths and encouraging personal growth through self reflection and constructive feedback. I am passionate about supporting my clients in building healthy relationships, especially with themselves. I provide clients with a compassionate space in which they are able to comfortably explore their identity and life concerns.

Seeking support for anxiety, self-esteem, or life transitions? Imagine a space where your unique strengths are celebrated, healing begins with trust, and laughter is a powerful ally on your path to well-being. I'm here to be more than a counselor; I'm your partner in growth. With a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, I'll walk alongside you. Together, we'll navigate the intricacies of your journey, using warmth, genuine care, and occasional humor to build trust and ease. Let's embark on this transformative journey together. You deserve a space where healing isn't just a goal, but a reality.

Welcome to my counseling page! I am a calm, honest, empathetic, and laid-back professional who is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients. If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, are experiencing depression, or if you're struggling with a major life transition, I'm here for you. Life's unexpected challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, but with the right support, we can navigate these difficulties and emerge stronger.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in the Mequon/Milwaukee area. However, I can meet with anyone who lives in Wisconsin via teletherapy. I also have an active LCSW license in IL and TX as well. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teenagers, and young adults struggling with anxiety symptoms, self-confidence, or relationship/peer concerns. I also work with adults of all ages who seek guidance with personal growth. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions about the therapy process through email, or I offer a free 20 min phone consultation.

No client is an island but a connected member of a family, so I often practice therapy with parents or spouses, and siblings. My style is practical, focusing on solutions. I am creative and find it essential to evaluate each client’s unique needs in the therapy office. For example, I often use hands-on therapy, such as making art or playing, to help with expression and focus. Parenting does not come with instructions. It is mysterious. But, the smallest successes can produce a profound sense of accomplishment. Helping parents find their way through counseling and walking along side of you through that journey is my mission.

As a clinician, I am committed to helping people process the many pieces of themselves. Therapy is a place to grow and heal, which can feel painful, magical, and everything in between. I will be there with you through all parts of the change process, offering warmth, teamwork, and invitations to practice new ways of being. Our work together may include shedding unhelpful patterns, building a life of meaning and purpose, and practicing better ways of regulating emotions, making decisions, and communicating. My own commitment to continual growth as a person and practitioner allows me to better show up as your collaborator.

We all have strengths and weaknesses. In my practice, I like to uncover and nurture the many strengths that my clients possess. I encourage my clients to use these strengths to their advantage and to continually uncover additional strengths and resilience. Within my therapeutic approach, I use a variety of theories and modalities to assist in understanding and treating clients. I use existential and psychoanalytic theories which consider a person’s childhood experiences, attachments, and the deeper question of creating meaning in life.

I am a queer, cis woman, with ADHD. I provide queer and neurodivergent affirming and informed therapy, as well as trauma informed therapy. I also engage in practices of body neutrality, anti-racism, and harm reduction. I am passionate about working with queer and neurodivergent people. I aim to provide a space where clients can be themselves and explore their concerns while feeling safe and cared for. I actively work to meet my clients where they are, to provide the best care possible.

Welcome! I am so happy that you are taking the hardest and most important step in your mental health journey - finding a therapist that is right for YOU! I work with a multitude of people from different backgrounds and goals. However, the ones that I find I have the most successful relationships with are young adults in their 20s-30s dealing with transitions into emerging adulthood. We are constantly bombarded with the push to be perfect (supermom, money mindset, 75 hard etc.) But why run yourself into the ground when you can live by your values and be your most authentic self? I can help you along that journey!
