Therapists in Wauwatosa, WI

I am passionate about helping those who are introspective, emotionally-inclined, and curious. I care about helping clients move beyond the surface in therapy to reach a deeper level of truth that they haven't yet spoken. Too often, therapy glosses over the fact that, at times, life is painful and messy. As much as we might want to avoid this, I strive to remind clients that we are better off trying to embrace this, and we might be surprised by what comes from doing so.

The therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. I have a genuine desire to get to know your story and help you identify your capacity for resilience and increased happiness. As a Board-Certified Art Therapist, I cultivate an environment where you can feel safe to explore your feelings through a variety of expressive modalities.

Life's motion can feel intense and demanding, seeming to move at a pace beyond one's stride, resulting in chronic stress, increased anxiety, fear, and for some, chronic pain. Throughout this motion, self-care and nurturing relationships can feel overwhelming. Connecting with another human can be one of the safest ways to become grounded and encounter what is asking for acknowledgment and care. I believe the therapeutic relationship and environment has immense potential to provide a secure container for all that is felt to be seen and explored—giving fear the opportunity to be faced and transformed into intentional forward movement.

Hi there! I'm a licensed counselor with a desire to help individuals become acutely aware of their worth and purpose in the world. Through an exploration of each individual’s unique psychosocial history and presenting circumstances, we collaboratively determine the evidenced-based treatment interventions that best cater to the client. I find value in incorporating a multi-systemic framework, helping clients identify how their various systems (family, friends, work, school, and community) contribute to presenting symptoms. I also welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into sessions to the extent that one is comfortable.

I am honored to be a person with whom friends, colleagues and clients have trusted to share their stories and trials and triumphs of life. I believe that our shared connections, compassion and authenticity are precious gifts to our health and wellness. The ups and downs of life often get in the way of becoming our best selves. I love working with clients who are struggling to find that voice of authenticity that’s been hidden by loneliness, comparing themselves to an impossible ideal, or even years of trauma and abuse. Together, we’ll work in collaboration, incorporating connection to mind and body to reclaim a sense of wholeness.

I specialize in helping teens and adults with histories of trauma, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and more. You deserve to have a treatment that is specified to your needs and goals, and I want to provide you with a safe place to explore, process, and heal from your traumatic experiences.

I have two assumptions about you that I want to share. First, you are human. Second, being human means you need to feel seen, safe, secure, and soothed. I have worked with individuals and couples for over twenty years and have learned a lot about what gets in the way of connection and emotional soothing.

Anyone who is at least moderately motivated :-), has some level of awareness that they need help. More specifically, their issues, needs, and goals could range from struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, relational conflict, grief/loss, overcoming the effects of past trauma, codependency, personal identity and purpose exploration, and the list goes on. They may not know what they want or why, perhaps, a change is needed or there is more potential available than they are accessing. I want to be one of the people to help walk with them through this process of self discovery.

Have you noticed a change in yourself or a loved one lately? It can happen to all of us. Worry, stress, negative thoughts and fear have a way of weighing us down and holding us back.

However, with so much uncertainty surrounding us this can be a challenge. Let's talk. Together, through a proactive and strength-based approach, we will explore how you can regain the power and control needed to address and remove the mental barriers that are holding you back.

Often a fresh set of eyes can be just what we need to find our way forward, and a compassionate listener or a challenging conversation can help us move toward greater health.
