Therapists Beginning With W in Wisconsin

I am a clinical psychologist licensed for independent practice in the State of Wisconsin. My office is conveniently located in Downtown Milwaukee, and I work primarily with adult individuals who are interested in psychotherapy. I also have affiliations with nurse practitioners within our clinic for those who may be interested in medication as a treatment option to supplement their therapy.

My clients seek help for relationship issues that make them feel disconnected, lonely, angry, and powerless to make things change. I start by creating a space for each individual to feel safe and heard. Approaching in a nonjudgmental way, we collaborate to allow their strengths to lead the way out of their darkness and find new ways to accomplish what they want most in life.

Is the transition to motherhood more difficult than you expected? Do you wonder what you're doing wrong? You may be tired of the sadness, guilt, worry, scary thoughts, and anger.

But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to start feeling like yourself again. You're ready to reconnect with your loved ones and enjoy your children. Most of all, you're ready to find joy and contentment in motherhood.

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.

I work with adults, children, and families who hope to live life abundantly. During our work together, we will focus on improving quality of relationships with self and others. As we improve relational support, we will tie in core values and any spiritual beliefs to help encourage sustainable change. This process looks different for adults and children, but the heart of each human is the same- we hope to be loved, love others, and live life according to our values. Unfortunately, sometimes our painful past experiences create stress or other overwhelming feelings that hinder us from living life how we'd wish. That's where I come in.
