My ideal client is an adolescent girl, woman, or mother—especially a Muslimah or woman of color—navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or identity struggles. She may feel unseen, carry generational pain, or parent through unresolved wounds. She seeks healing that honors her faith and lived experience. Her goal is not just to cope, but to break cycles, build self-worth, set boundaries, and reconnect with a life of dignity, peace, and emotional freedom. She wants a space where she doesn't have to explain everything—just be understood, held, and supported in becoming her full, healed self.

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.

Hi, I'm Joe and I've been in private practice for over 34 years. I have provided therapy to people at several locations around Southeastern Wisconsin during that time and I have seen people with many different issues. I feel i know many different ways to help people help themselves. That is where my focus is, that of meeting the person where they are so that change can begin. When I listen to people I am not invested in labeling or judging. What I am interested in is understanding your pain and trying to come up with some ideas to help you work through your pain in order to move forward and grow.

You're exhausted from trying to keep it together. Maybe anxiety has been quietly running your life — the constant worry, the overthinking, the exhaustion of always bracing for what's next. Maybe you and your partner keep hitting the same walls and you're not sure how much longer you can keep going like this. Or you're an athlete who has put in the work, but something gets in the way when it matters most. You're not broken. You're just ready — ready to stop managing and start actually living. That's exactly where we start.

My practice serves adults who are thoughtful, capable, and often high-functioning, yet find themselves feeling stuck, uncertain, or dissatisfied in ways that are difficult to explain. Many seek more than symptom relief—they want to understand the patterns shaping their relationships, decisions, and sense of self. I support this work through psychoanalytic psychotherapy, as well as structured, time-limited assessment and comprehensive psychological evaluations. Together, we clarify what’s happening beneath the surface and develop a more grounded, intentional way forward.

You've worked hard to accomplish your goals, do the right thing, and set up a life that makes you feel proud.
