I specialize in using body-based approaches clients move through Trauma, Loss and Grief. My training is in holistic Somatic Psychotherapy. I offer Brainspotting and Ketamine-assisted and psychedelic integration work. I support clients to heal from loss and trauma, improve your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. If you are tired of talking about the same issues week after week without real change, let's work together toward deeper processing and accelerated healing.
As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.
As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.
I believe healing happens best in relationships built on authenticity, curiosity, and compassion. Whether we're talking in the office or walking a wooded trail, my approach is grounded, collaborative, and tailored to you.
I've long been drawn to the dance between the psychological and the spiritual. As I journeyed my own early path of discovery, it lead me to studies in psychology, classic literature, and theology in undergraduate, and then later Buddhist psychotherapy and meditation, and depth psychology in graduate school. I received my graduate degree from Naropa University's Transpersonal Counseling Psychology program in 2003, and am licensed in WI (LPC) and MN (LPCC). I am a practitioner of shamatha-vipassyana meditation, and have a well-established background of working for various therapy group practices in MN and WI.

As a lifelong student of East and West methodologies, I blend Person-Centered, CBT, Gestalt, depth psychology, somatic, and Buddhist psychology views. I also take a trauma-informed, IFS-informed, EFT-informed approach. I spent many years exploring Christian mysticism and theology before finding my own path and practice in Tibetan Buddhism for the past 20+ years, and I welcome heartfelt conversations about any psycho-spiritual path.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Madison, WI
Searching for couples therapists in Madison starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific couples training, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles.
In a mid-size city like Madison, your search may include therapists near downtown, the west side, the east side, or nearby communities, along with virtual appointments across Wisconsin. Finding one therapist who works for both partners also means comparing schedules, session structure, and availability. Some therapists offer a brief consultation so you can ask how they work with couples before booking. Reading each profile can help you understand their style, experience with couples counseling in Madison, and whether their approach fits what you are looking for.
Couples therapy in Madison can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs, and Headway helps you check estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare therapists who offer marriage counseling in Madison, WI, review detailed bios, and book directly when you find someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
