Male Therapists in Fitchburg, WI

How are you doing? If you are reading this page you are looking for a therapist for yourself or someone else. This is an essential and necessary step in a long chain of events that will result in you improving your psychological health. I want to help enable that change based on your goals and values. Therapy can provide structure and support for both interpersonal and personal problems. We can discuss both how you view your struggles and the best ways to successfully interact with them. Let's make a positive change that you can see and feel proud of!

I have over 23 years of experience as a licensed therapist in the state of Wisconsin. I earned my MSW from Florida State University. I have advanced training in Brainspotting and developmental trauma. I have worked with a wide range of clients, including adolescents, families and adults, often focusing on stress and anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, parenting, depression and family dynamics. As an adoptee, I bring a unique personal lens to my therapeutic profession.

My ideal client is someone coping with mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and/or substance abuse. I specialize in Behavioral Activation - an evidenced based intervention for treating mood disorders and moving clients toward their goals. I also enjoy working with couples and families to help them communicate better and resolve interpersonal conflicts in a healthy way. I have been passionate about systemic couple and family therapy since becoming a therapist in 2019. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich marital/premarital counselor and trained in the Gottman Method of couples therapy, with good outcomes.

Therapy has the potential to be deeply rewarding yet people often feel very unsatisfied when they have given it a try. Either your therapist hands you a “one-size-fits-all” bag of coping skills or just sits back passively while you struggle to make sense of things by yourself. Those who have had better experiences know the feeling of a therapist who strives to meet you where you’re at and develop a plan of care that is tailored to your unique, individual situation. The value of that wonderful feeling is borne out by research suggesting that the fit between client and therapist tends to best predict good outcomes down the road.

Are you at a crossroads in your life, struggling with crippling anxiety or debilitating depression? Do you need help and support to gain strength and motivation to feel joy? Would you like to build confidence and identify what is your passion in life? Would you like help problem solving and coming up with strategies to overcome barriers that may be internal or external? Would you like to gain the courage to let go of these blocks and make progress toward something that gives life meaning and fulfillment? Would you benefit from learning to connect to yourself as well as others with whom you are in contact?

Do you struggle with your relationships and have trouble connecting with others? Are you overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety or depression and can’t bare it any longer? Do you find yourself people-pleasing and neglecting to tend to your own needs? Are you a perfectionist and overly critical of yourself? It’s difficult to feel so out of control like you’re constantly in survival mode. Together, we can work to reconnect with your emotional world and use your resources to create fundamental, lasting change.

I help people with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness to get back in control and live the life they want. Our thoughts, memories, feelings, and bodily sensations make life so hard. Do they keep you from doing the things you want? Do you feel so overwhelmed you need to run or to escape? Do they make you regret the way you’ve lived? Do they keep you from people you care about? You don’t have to live this way. We can take steps to put you back in charge of you and your life. My mission is to help you be proud of the person you are, get you doing the things you want, with the people you care about most.

Are you struggling with mental health challenges or interpersonal conflict within your family? As a certified therapist specializing in mood disorders and family dynamics, I provide evidence-based interventions and employ a systemic approach to therapy. Emphasizing on all dimensions of clients’ lives - biological, psychological, relational, and social - I aim to propel positive growth and effective communication. My practice is rooted in empathy and the belief that every thought, feeling, and behavior serves a purpose and contributes to one's uniqueness. (338 characters)

Depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders can be debilitating with their long lasting symptoms. It is challenging to know where to start when working through difficult emotions and challenges. I like to make a collaborative effort with individuals to create treatment goals that aren't only manageable, but effective for long-term effects. Individuals that struggle with social interactions and a lowered self esteem are able to take matters into their own hands, and we all need a bit of help sometimes.

I have practiced psychotherapy since 1971, with a special interest in the emotional and relationship problems of adults and couples. I work with adults in acute distress as well as those with persisting difficulties that interfere with effective functioning and the full enjoyment of adult life. I ESPECIALLY WORK WITH COUPLES WHO ARE UNHAPPY IN THEIR MARRIAGE. In my view, emotionally committed relationships tend to be A HOTBED FOR REACTIVATION OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS from the past that can produce unexpected misery.

I am a skilled therapist who helps clients manage and overcome life's challenges with a gentle, interactive approach. I work with individuals of all ages and ethnicities, married and pre-married couples, families, individuals and mental disabilities. I have actively counseled since 2003, and has received training in several areas including grief, anxiety and depression.

I am a multifaceted professional, I am a therapist, speaker, educator, mentor, supervisor, lifelong student, advocate, and more. With more than two decades of professional experience in the behavioral health field, I have learned to channel the body and mind's innate drive to heal. My role is to support you in your journey toward healing utilizing your unique experiences and strengths.

Our minds condition the quality of every moment of our lives—therapy is uniquely suited to positively engaging with our minds. And of course, our minds are not just our minds; they are our bodies, our relationships, our cultures, our society, our work, our past, our future, our imagination, as well as our thoughts and feelings. Therapy can interface with all of these parts of us, and help us to integrate them, nourishing our life.

Over a decade of experience has shown me suffering has its roots in disconnection from self, others, and/or the natural world; often caused by trauma. This disconnection can show up as: difficulty knowing what you want; inability to name and express feelings; relationship discord with partners, friends, or coworkers; feeling lost and uninspired; lack of creativity and flexibility; existential crises; depression; or anxiety. By reconnecting and becoming more embodied, you will find more depth in your relationships, clarity in your thinking, and more skills and confidence to manage the inevitable struggles of life.

Every day doesn’t have to be so hard. Whether it be work, family, school, your health, or the state of the world, there are a lot of things to navigate to get through. As the stress builds up, so does anxiety and depression, and as a result, it gets harder and harder to do keep doing the things you need to do. These days, this seems to be more the norm than the exception and finding help seems almost impossible. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything you can do. My goal is to work closely with you to identify and accomplish your goals, address what is most important to you, and help you find ways to enjoy life to the fullest.

My philosophy holds that the therapeutic relationship is sacred and deserves the highest respect. In this relationship the mystery of each person's inner being unfolds. I honor the uniqueness and integrity of each individual I see. I view my role as a support and a guide while I join you at a very important juncture in your life. You deserve safety and trust. The objective part of therapy may involve psycho-spiritual strategies/interventions that help integrate the insights of therapy. These approaches may include mindfulness skills, psychodynamic,cognitive, behavioral or spiritual interventions such as meditation and yoga.
