Therapists in Milwaukee, WI
I focus on my favorite professional activity: psychotherapy. I can usually see someone who e-mails within a week. I have worked with thousands of patients since 1972. I especially like working with people who have problems causing anxiety and/or depression. In addition, I have been an expert in over 3,000 civil legal cases, and have co-authored 13 books. The office is informal, and is VERY confidential, in a residential neighborhood. I can usually take insurance, Medicare, and cash or checks. Discount for payment during the session. All sessions are at my office. Email contact to schedule an appointment is HIGHLY preferred.

Our worldviews are made up of stories: about ourselves, others, the ways we engage with people, and the ways we move through the world. I'm fascinated by the mutual influence of individual perspective and shared experience, as well as the ways societal norms both limit and support individuals and relationships. How are you influencing and being influenced by others? What aspects of your story do you wish were different? How do you want to be known, and move through the world? "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer! Let's explore and see what we discover.

You’re used to doing it all. People think it comes easily, so they ask for more—and you say yes. But you’re tired. You’ve tried the lists, the resets, the self-care, and you’re still struggling. Sometimes even functioning feels impossible. The hardest part? You used to be able to do it all. You wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” I get it. I don’t shy away from the hard stuff—the heaviness, the hopelessness. I meet it with steadiness and warmth, not fear or fix-it energy.
