Quartz Therapists in Madison, WI

As a trained Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT-IT), I bring a systems lens to peoples’ lives and understand how emotional wellbeing is deeply impacted by past and current relationships at home, school, work, and in the community. My practice focuses on partnering with clients (individuals, couples and families) to heal from grief and loss, career/work stress and exploration, perinatal depression/anxiety, parenting children with special needs, and processing the emotional hardships associated with health concerns and aging. Together, we'll create new ways to heal.

As a bilingual, bicultural individual, and former police officer, I can understand the difficulty facing trauma, daily challenges, and grief. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion, and meeting you at your comfort level. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage as you are stepping into uncomfortable territory. I am here to support, guide, and empower you through this journey. As a systemic therapist, not only do I see you as an individual but every facet in your life, how they can affect you, and how we can influence them to best achieve your therapy goals.

My clients are adults and couples who are looking to take steps toward understanding themselves and their relationships in a deeper capacity. I specialize in trauma therapy and couples therapy, and in both areas, I work to support my clients in uncovering protective patterns that have begun to hold them back.

I know that seeking therapy can be an intensely vulnerable act. My goal as your therapist will be to meet that vulnerability with the care and understanding that it deserves. This means approaching your concerns with curiosity and respect for all of the identities and experiences that you bring to the table. I have extensive experience working with adults with a variety of backgrounds, and make every effort to acknowledge how your environment, cultural factors and systems of power/oppression have shaped the concerns that have brought you to therapy.

As a mental health and substance use provider, I am dedicated to fostering positive change and growth in individuals through a holistic and person-centered approach.

As a Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring over 18 years of passionate experience to my work in helping clients truly heal.  I've been a musician for over half of my life, and have performed locally and nationally, which has provided me with a genuine ability to connect with clients through creativity, depth, and authenticity.  I truly love working with adults, young adults, and teens through the process of change.  I have extensive experience in the substance use/addiction field, as well as mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, coping with life transitions, etc.

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.

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.

Our life experiences can feel so overwhelming at times, and when you're trapped in the middle of it all, it's hard to know how to move forward. Whether you're working through a life transition, a loss, the overwhelm of constantly taking care of others, or everyday stress, you deserve a space that is just yours to slow down, give space to your emotional experience, and find hope that things truly can feel different.

My ideal client is looking for an alternative approach to therapy and is open to creative, somatic and holistic healing methods such as Expressive Arts, yoga, or intuitive approaches. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing what we can create together!

I enjoy working with teens and adults to help explore and identify and resolve issues related to worry, tension, feeling overwhelmed or on edge, stress, grief, loss, relationships, work, school, feeling hopeless, helpless, anger, behavior, guilt, sleep, low energy and concentration.

“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.
