Therapists in Wauwatosa, WI

As a Multicultural Existentialist Counselor, I offer an open, honest, safe, and authentic space to build understanding, promote healing, and work towards change. I am deeply committed to meeting you where you are, understanding how you got there, and where you want to be in the future without judgment. I believe in every person's inherent agency, and will work alongside you holistically to find a path forward and develop your relationship to yourself. I work with couples, adults and teens of all racial, sexual, gender, and cultural identities in areas like identity, grief, burnout and career, emotional regulation and relationships.

Are you an adult struggling to be at your best at home, work, and w/ friends? Can you tell something's off but feel stuck or can’t put your finger on it? Maybe it’s stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or using substances to self-medicate? Let me guess - you want to talk about it but don’t know where to turn and don't want to be judged? You're not alone. Many adults try “white-knuckling” it & play tug-a-war w/ themselves until they burn out. Look no further. I am here for you. As a man, father, & person who stutters, I bring a unique and sensitive perspective to learn about you, what makes you tick, and your goals.

Life presents many challenges. I bring my many life's experiences along with professional training to my clinical practice to provide a counseling atmosphere that relates to the concerns of my clients. From my twenty-plus years as a therapist, over 10 years as a college instructor and administrator and years as an employee assistance professional, I strive to bring such experience for the benefit of my clients. I also cherish the value of my personal story as a counselor, adoptive parent, Teamster, coach, small business owner and volunteer as important parts that make me an effective counseling partner.

I am a therapist with a deep passion to help children, adolescents, and adults who suffer with different behavioral and mental health issues. My therapeutic approach will always remain collaborative. Therefore, whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, low self-esteem or stress management issues, I will take the time to listen to your problems and we will work together to create your own personal story of change toward a better life.

I have thirty years of experience as a professional counselor and have been a psychologist since 1996. I graduated in 1993 from Marquette University with a doctorate in psychology. I have experience with diverse populations: developmental disabilities, geriatric, ADHD, history of trauma, attachment-focused therapy for parents, teens, adults, LGBT persons, and trauma victims. Certified therapy training in hypnosis (diplomate), EMDR, cognitive-behavior therapy, American board of vocational experts (past diplomate).

Many people suffer and they are not quite sure what the problem is. Many other people may have been told what the problem is but this still has not helped. These are the people I work best with. No matter what the problem seems to be, I seem to be able to help when others have not. When my clients have told me this, I know I am on the right track.

Since 1980 I have served those struggling with mental illness and personal problems in greater Milwaukee. I mainly help adults and older adults individually. Common topics I treat include depression, bipolar disorder, codependency, abuse, worry, grieving, chronic pain and health issues, and generally dealing with changes. Many I see experienced a long slow decline over time when that, "Straw that Broke the Camel's Back," landed. It became clear that things were just not working, and they need to try something different. That's when many of my people called me.

I work with adolescents and adults providing individual therapy. From small private practices to large psychiatric treatment institutions like Rogers Memorial Hospital, I have cultivated experience working with diverse clientele in a variety of treatment settings and have lead therapy groups focused on trauma, anger management, personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. I have provided consultation for programming revision in the areas of trauma and personality disorders and served on the Board of Directors for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Do you find yourself focusing on past adversities or future concerns? Do you notice that they seem to take you away from making the changes you want for yourself or your relationships? I would like to work with you in determining how to process and work through these challenges while staying in the present moment. I will work collaboratively with you to help you become the best version of yourself while taking into account your life’s circumstances. I bring a warm, empathetic, and energetic approach that fosters a safe environment to put you at ease in order to explore the challenges you face.
