Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Kenosha, WI

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience serving diverse communities across multiple systems. My previous roles have deepened my understanding of trauma, family systems, and the ways individuals are shaped by their environments. With this foundation, I approach each client through a holistic lens and use evidence‐based practices that honor resilience and support meaningful, sustainable growth.

Starting therapy takes courage, and I want you to know that you do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, anxious, discouraged, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own. Wherever you are in your process, my goal is to meet you there with warmth, curiosity, and respect.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, substance use, eating concerns, stress, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and major life transitions. I believe that healing is not about becoming a different person. It is about reconnecting with yourself, understanding your patterns, and building the tools to move through life with more confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.

In our work together, you can expect a supportive space where you feel heard, encouraged, and gently challenged when needed. I bring both compassion and practical guidance to therapy, helping you better understand what is keeping you stuck while also creating realistic steps toward change.

I am licensed in both mental health and substance use treatment in the state of Wisconsin, and have spent over 20 years working with a wide range of people and concerns in many different settings. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to offer a grounded, respectful space where you feel heard, accepted, and supported at your own pace.

Hi, I’m Nancy, and I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or weighed down by something you’ve been carrying for a long time, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who are navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other difficult experiences. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood.

I bring over 7 years of experience in community based mental health, including working with Wisconsin CCS programs and providing in home services to children, adults, and families. I’ve supported individuals through trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, substance use challenges, homelessness, end of life transitions, and other complex life circumstances. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services from Upper Iowa University and a Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University. I have additional training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

My counseling style is personalized and adaptive, so we focus on what works best for you instead of a one size fits all approach. I am not very formal and we are likely going to laugh at times as we get to know each other. Together, we will talk about what brings you to therapy now, and start to outline the goals you would like to move toward in this season of your life.

We will collaborate to create realistic, meaningful goals for therapy and concrete ways to meet them that fit your life, values, and pace. I invite curiosity, questions, and feedback, and I see our work as a shared process rather than me telling you what to do. Sessions are a place where you can be fully yourself while we explore patterns and try new coping tools.

Over the years, I have worked with many different types of issues and life transitions, and I bring that broad experience into our work together. It is a true honor to walk with clients through life’s messier and more painful chapters and to witness them come out on the other side with more clarity, confidence, and relief. If you are ready to begin, I would be glad to support you.

I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marquette University in 2023, and I have had the privilege of working with a great variety of clients in an outpatient hospital setting over the last three years. Through a trauma informed and person-centered lens, I want to help clients explore concerns relating to shame, depression, anxiety, identity, and more.

Welcome! I specialize in providing care through evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs. My approach combines compassion, collaboration, and creativity to support healing and growth in a safe and affirming space.

I provide a welcoming environment for individuals of all identities. I have specialized knowledge in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and offering education on harm reduction practices.

I’ve been providing individual, and group therapy services to ages 11 + for the last 5 years. I specialize in working with trauma, attachment disorders, AODA issues, ADHD, and chronic emotional dysregulation. I’m trained in a number of therapeutic approaches including DBT and practice from a relational-cultural framework.

I'm excited to support you in your mental wellness journey! I have lived experience with birth trauma and mental health issues. I love kids and mommies! I see moms who are pregnant and postpartum up to 2 years. I also see children ages birth to 17. For infants and toddlers, parents or caregivers are present because the treatment focus is the relationship between them, not just the child.
