Therapists in Wisconsin

I am a licensed clinical social worker and substance abuse counselor providing therapy services to adults. I have been practicing therapy for 12 years but have been in the field of social work since 2000. My professional experience includes work in child welfare, treatment foster care, adoption, parenting concerns, substance use, domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA, and life transitions.

Anxiety, trauma, mood changes, academic stress, or life transitions can be overwhelming. You are not alone. I work with students, teenagers, and early career professionals. We will create a supportive space to better understand yourself. This helps us move forward with confidence. I also enjoy working with individuals navigating neurodivergence. Additional support can help clients overcome unique challenges from school, work, and relationships. In therapy, we often begin by slowing things down. This helps us explore how your current experiences connect to larger patterns. Together, we will easily manage difficult thoughts and emotions. My goal is to create a genuine, accepting relationship so that you can truly be yourself. I use EMDR, existential therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. But these are always tailored to your individual needs. We will work together at a pace that feels comfortable. Even if you are working through trauma, managing stress, or seeking self-insight. No concern is too big or too small, and I'm honored to be part of your journey toward growth and healing.

I am a relational therapist who works to break cycles of conflict and create relationships that feel effective and fulfilling. I bring a fluid and responsive approach, meeting clients with empathy while challenging them to dig deeper, embrace accountability, and take meaningful steps toward growth. In sessions, I help clients uncover patterns, identify blocks, self-illusion, and connect with the underlying emotions driving their struggles. I move beyond surface-level validation, guiding clients to reframe challenges and shift their perspectives. I believe in addressing what’s present and meaningful—not dwelling on blame or the past, but focusing on solutions that are effective and tailored to you. My approach is direct yet compassionate. I help clients explore what their reactions and interactions reveal about their needs, offering tools to build insight and strengthen connection. While I encourage clients to lean into discomfort as part of the process, I also ensure they feel guided and empowered to face challenges. Whether it’s improving communication, addressing conflict, or building trust, I guide clients to stop cycling through the same issues and start building the relationships they want. If you’re ready to move beyond feeling stuck, I’ll partner with you to create lasting change through honest, meaningful work.
