Therapists for Teens in Madison, WI
I work mainly with autistic adults without cognitive impairment, and with autistic adults with mild cognitive impairment & older autistic teenagers if there seems like good fit with my style of counseling.
As a counselor on the autism spectrum who works mostly with autistic adults, I offer a rare perspective that combines mental-health training with lived experience. Whether you are on or off the autism spectrum, I can help you understand yourself and adapt in terms of society, social dynamics, culture, thought process, emotions, and existential questions. Have you found that other therapists seemingly can't or won't talk about how social interactions work? I can help.

The number one thing that makes therapy work is the connection between client and therapist. I want to understand what's happening with you so that I can put my skills to good use and help you to meet your therapy goals. My methods are based on scientific research and on my professional experience as a therapist. Many of the techniques I use with clients are techniques that I have applied in my own life to reduce my own suffering and improve my own happiness. I practice much of what I preach, so I know firsthand that these methods work.

My areas of speciality include stress and anxiety, managing ADHD, burn-out, and high-stress careers. I work with people around their interpersonal relationships and their relationship with themselves, with realistic understanding of the demands of the modern world. I work well with clients who might not "like therapy" generally, and still recognize they might benefit from talking to someone. I also work with men looking to change relationship and emotional patterns, and have extensive experience with professionals and professional students.

My hope is that we can work together to establish goals and clarify the values that are important to you. As we look at what's going on in your life, we will consider what you have tried before and what barriers are hindering you from living the life you want. Together we will develop creative and flexible strategies that you can try in the future. I do not "fix" people, nor do I have all the answers in life. Instead, I deeply care for hurting people. I will help you consider other perspectives and build skills that will empower you to live a more authentic life. My hope is that you will feel seen, understood, and accepted.

Are you someone whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot, but you’re not feeling the fulfillment you expected. Anxiety or a big life change – maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, parenthood, change in family dynamic or move – has highlighted that you’re still not living the fullest, most authentic life you want to be living. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself, your past and you’re ready to start living wholeheartedly and joyfully here and now.

“Sensitivity isn't being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom.” This is a quote from a favorite musician of mine, Jeff Buckley. I see sensitivity as a strength, not a deficit. As a therapist, I work hard to help my clients understand that oftentimes the parts of themselves that they view as weak are really their greatest strengths. The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are very important. They are the lens through which we view everything- they color our world. The problem is that a lot of the time the narratives we have about ourselves are simply not true.
