Male Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

Are you feeling alone in a difficult situation or struggle? You don't have to navigate it by yourself. I specialize in providing support and guidance during challenging times, especially for people of color and people in the LGBTQIA+ community. In our sessions, you'll find a safe and understanding space to share your feelings and experiences. Together, we'll work on strategies to help you cope and regain a sense of control and well-being.

Many of our personal, emotional and relationship problems are simply caused by a lack of self awareness, adapting to new situations and negative thinking patterns. Healthier ways of thinking and having greater self awareness helps work through these day to day challenges. We have great strengths and gifts that are not always easy to notice or understand at first. Personal growth, developing coping strategies, improving communication and making positive life changes can enormously help resolve these issues. I hope to help you develop the best version of yourself.

Tired of enduring a difficult life, career or relationship? Looking for practical, out-of-the-box solutions for anxiety, depression, and the life circumstances that cause them? Tried therapy before with disappointing results? For 35 years, I have been augmenting traditional therapeutic methods with a variety of techniques, including EMDR Therapy, CRM Therapy, heart rate variability training (Heartmath), body centered approaches, mindfulness training, hypnosis, and ego-state interventions, to facilitate deep internal changes. These interventions take place within the context of a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. My therapeutic style is interactive, engaging, and collaborative.

Growing up can be tough. Your child is trying to learn how to navigate relationships at school and home while figuring out who they are and their place in the world. When dealing with stress and difficult situations, your child can feel alone, as though no one understands them or can relate to what they are going through. Because of their age, your child may not have the vocabulary to express the complex thoughts and feelings they are experiencing. As a result, they may shut others out or seem as though they don’t want help. However, the truth may be that they do not know what kind of help they need or how to ask for it.

At times, life can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to bear the burden alone. I have 25 years in the behavioral health field as an executive, teacher, consultant and dually-licensed clinician helping people move beyond their burdens to get on with their lives. I have been providing clinical services since 2005, and I'm a member of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science along with the American Counseling Association. My experience includes treating depression, anxiety, panic, stress, anger, trauma, grief and problematic substance use across the lifespan.

I believe that difficulties develop within relational contexts influenced by early relationships and current interactions. Good treatment is goal focused, and based on the here-and-now distress that brings you to treatment while also being curious about how the present is influenced by the past. Treatment must occur within a safe professional relationship. In my work, the therapeutic relationship is an important part of the healing process. Through on-going conversations and shared curiosity my clients and I broaden our understanding of their current distress and future aspirations. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

I believe that because we are born into relationships, we suffer and struggle within the context of our relationships, and we ultimately heal through our relationships—our relationships with ourselves, with each other, and sometimes with people who are no longer present in our lives. I believe in a reflective, wholistic approach to therapy, incorporating elements of a number of treatment models, from behavior-based to psychoanalytic, in order to meet each person's individual needs.

I have significant experience working with adults and families in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem/identity, and relationship issues. I work one-on-one with clients to identify relevant life issues and coordinate specific, goal-oriented objectives for our work together. These goals are reassessed and modified as needed on an ongoing basis to maintain therapeutic focus.
