Therapists in Wisconsin

You’ve been strong for so long. You’ve held it all together for work, family, everyone else — but inside you’re tired of surviving. You’re craving peace, connection, and a life that finally feels like yours. Hi, I’m Jackie — a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Healing Haven. My clients describe therapy with me as “where science meets soul.” It’s a place where the weight you’ve carried can finally be set down, and the real you can breathe again. I blend powerful evidence-based methods — EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, ACT, Attachment, and Inner-Child work — with the heart and intuition of relationship therapy inspired by the Gottmans and Esther Perel. Each session is customized with warmth, humor, and grace, designed to meet you right where you are and gently move you forward. Whether you’re healing trauma, calming anxiety, or rebuilding love after heartbreak, I’ll walk beside you with compassion and truth. I’ll challenge you when you’re ready, sit with you when it hurts, and remind you of the strength you’ve had all along. Hope lives here, and together, we’ll bring you home to yourself.

I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am a husband, dad and grandfather. I have been a coach of several different sports and six years ago started playing golf. I enjoy constant and continue growth in the field of psychotherapy. I am currently working on a National Cognitive Behavior Therapy Certification with the Beck Institute and every Friday I attend a two hour psychotherapist workshop. Greetings! I look forward to working with you. Currently doing telehealth. My journey in the human helping field start in 1989, working as counselor at an adolescent residential recovery program for nine years. I then worked six years with the school district and return to the counseling field. I treat a variety of mental health conditions and issues, including anxiety, depression, mood or emotional problems, anger, stress, life transitions, blended family problems, and alcohol and other drug addictions. I have specialized in the field of addiction for over twenty-five years, addressing the underlying issues of trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, and feelings of being overwhelmed. My life experiences have been my best teacher and motivated me at a late age, to return to school to earn a master's degree in counseling psychology. As a therapist, I strive to be like the Red Willow and to grow in flexibility and wisdom.
