I have been in the mental health/ counseling field for 19 years, having worked in community and out­patient settings with AODA and mental health clients. I also have training in AODA, Anger Management, and Trauma Informed Care. I work with adolescents, individuals, and families. I also work with clients that are sexual abuse survivors, trauma, depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues.

I believe in using eclectic modalities as a counselor as every client needs specified treatment.

Has your "I do" turned into "I'm not sure"? Or perhaps you've discovered the love you have for your spouse doesn't seem to be enough? Maybe feelings of emptiness are overpowering every area of your life? You want relief from those feelings of loneliness and emptiness, but it seems you can't seem to find it.

I am the founder of the Relationship Center of Milwaukee, a group practice that focuses on providing couples with the skills, insights, and courage to develop themselves and their relationships. My 30-year experience as a psychologist and psychoanalyst has reinforced my belief that people heal, change, and grow in connection to others. Love relationships are simultaneously the greatest source of comfort and happiness in our lives, but also potentially the greatest source of intense stress and misery. Yet, we keep on trying. The thirst for good partnership is unquenchable.

Are you feeling a push to make some changes and reevaluate your relationships? Not just with family and friends...but with work, alcohol, monogamy or other parts of your routine? I specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating life transitions. We all have the power to create whatever kind of life we want, regardless of what has brought us to this moment. I love working with people ready to explore life's possibilities and help them decide what's next. Drawing upon my education as a counselor, death doula, and yoga teacher, I embrace a holistic approach to wellness that infuses different aspects of these disciplines.

David believes in not only helping the individual facing challenges, but helping that person also build their supports that are around them outside of session. David is a military veteran who knows the struggle of being trauma informed and also person-centered in care. What works for one, doesn't always work for the other. David believes in treating the person and not the diagnosis because we are not what the words say we are!

I have had amazing results working with clients who are separated, on the brink of divorce and even post divorce to create a unique path guiding them to their goals of personal and relationship growth and rebuilding. The only requirement is your willingness to try something different than you have already been doing. I will help you design a life and relationship that you love and appreciate!

I love working with kids, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking for ways to use their strengths and motivation to move forward through challenges to more health and wellbeing.

I believe in an integrative approach to counseling; focusing on bio-psycho-social and strengths-based models while seeking to understand clients through a trauma-sensitive lens. I value each client's journey and work to develop a relationship based upon trust and connection.

I love helping clients work through big life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-confidence struggles, as well as everyday experiences of anxiety, depression, and grief.

Are you feeling burned out, overwhelmed by your responsibilities, and searching for more happiness in day-to-day life? Is there something you wish to create...a balanced lifestyle, calm mind, healthy relationship? As an experienced Therapist, I will work with you to discover what prevents you from having the life you want. We will work together to achieve your goals and restore your sense of joy in activities, life and relationships.

Social conditions teach us that pleasure must be "earned", & that our worth is directly linked to our productivity. I am passionate about collaborating with individuals looking to find joy by identifying barriers to pleasure & rest, & developing a deeper understanding of beliefs that contribute to our own discomfort with pleasure. Many of my clients are experiencing a life transition- starting new job, becoming a parent, opening up a relationship, considering divorce. Together we will explore ways to increase compassion & acceptance, & lean into pleasure so that we feel more prepared to better cope with these changes & stressors.

It's time to change dynamics. To develop overall wellbeing it’s important to understand who we are and work through life’s transitions. As a therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients to help them become their best selves. I have twenty plus years of experience working with adolescents, couples, and families and look forward to working with you!

I am a psychologist who works with individuals, couples, and families experiencing a variety of concerns including acute and complex trauma, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, coping with chronic and terminal illness, and intimacy, identity, and sexuality. I also have an interest in working with folks in the medical and mental health fields, including doctors, residents, students, and therapists/counselors. Our time together will allow you to know yourself better and lead to change, whether you are seeking immediate symptom relief or longer-term transformation.

Are you struggling with adjusting to change, coping with stress or navigating conflict? As a result, has this left you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Has shame, guilt or negative self-talk been impacting you? Do you need help creating boundaries with your partner, family, or friends? As a therapist, I believe in the saying, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” My role is to help you explore areas of concern, develop coping skills, and gain insight about yourself. A primary focus of my practice is teaching self-compassion to help fill up your cup when life is feeling too difficult to navigate on your own.

My approach to therapy is collaborative: you are the expert in your life, I am the expert in mental wellness, and together we can forge a path forward into a life that is peaceful and meaningful for you. I am passionate about breaking intergenerational trauma and helping people build peaceful families. Families can look like everything from one adult and their beloved yet temperamental Iguana, Harold, to a couple with ten children and six in-laws living in one home. Don't worry if right now your family feels like a total mess. Remember: even a dumpster fire can provide a cleansing flame.

Are you tired of going through life with no real satisfaction or fulfillment? Have your problems begun to impact your quality of life? I want to collaborate with you to help you become the best version of yourself; whatever that may look like for you. I have experience working with an array of populations and want to help you reach your established realistic goals that matter most to you.

Therapy is a place for you to name areas of pain, a place to feel without judgment, and a place to reclaim what is yours. Shame is the source of so much of this pain and judgment, convincing you that you are broken. Shame is often so intertwined with sexuality because of the societal silence around the topic. Perhaps sex is painful, perhaps you are more aware of others desires than your own, perhaps you feel empty from running on fumes and enjoyment is the last thing on your mind. Whatever the reason, engaging your sexual health can help overall wellness, and ultimately be the way back into relationship with yourself!

Are you feeling stuck? Do you find it hard to prioritize yourself over others? Maybe you're always looking toward the next goal to help you feel more fulfilled, but it never does. You've worked hard to get to where you are, only to feel confused because your success hasn't made you feel content. You're struggling with anxiety, relationships, and feeling dissatisfied with your life. This is a frustrating feeling, but things can get better.
