ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Milwaukee, WI

As a former Division I track and field athlete, I know what it's like to push yourself to the limit — and what happens when the pressure starts to feel like too much. The expectations, the constant performance, the feeling that you have to be "on" all the time.

I also know what it feels like to not quite fit in, to question who you are outside of the roles you've been playing. That's what led me to this work — a deep understanding that sometimes, the hardest race you run is the one inside your own mind.

My approach is rooted in real experience and genuine care. I create a space where you can drop the mask, breathe, and start figuring out what feels right for you.

I’m a licensed therapist with more than 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and personal growth. I work with people from diverse backgrounds and support clients navigating family dynamics, sexuality, cultural identity, workplace stress, attachment concerns, and major life transitions. My background includes work with addictions, men’s issues, fatherhood concerns, social anxiety, self-esteem, and other complex emotional and behavioral concerns. I’m committed to creating a compassionate, supportive environment where you can better understand your experiences, develop meaningful insight, and work toward positive change.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to a happy and successful life. I’ve been practicing for over 20 years and truly enjoy seeing people change their lives for the better. I'm a strong believer that even though change is hard it is possible. My focus is on adults with a range of mental health disorders including substance use.

Taking the step to seek support isn’t easy, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Life Coach, and retired Army veteran who believes caring for your mental health is essential to living a balanced, fulfilling life. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves. I work with teens and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or major life transitions, and I strive to meet you with respect, compassion, and understanding.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked within the mental health field for the past four years. With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and English and a Masters of Science in Counselor Education, I have experience with developing strong and trusting relationships, helping individuals process their emotions, and blending therapeutic approaches for creative solutions.

I have experience working with a range of clients including children who are five and older, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in a variety of settings from clinical to school-based, and feel comfortable and confident in creating an environment in any space to help individuals feel comfortable and promote optimal growth and well-being. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, adjustment disorders, depression, life transitions, stress, and eating disorders as well as providing a setting for clients to learn skills and insights to manage and regulate their emotions.

I am a licensed Profession Counselor with more than a decade of experience in the mental health field. I have been working in a variety of settings since 2012, providing counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Throughout my career I have worked with a wide range of mental health diagnoses as well as substance use concerns. My clinical focus and the area I am most passionate about is trauma. I am nationally certified in Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), with an additional training and clinical experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Aggression Replacement Training. My therapeutic style is compassionate, genuine, and highly individualized. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working together to determine what they need from therapy. Sometimes that means learning new skills, sometimes it means having a safe place to talk and be heard, and sometimes it means a little bit of everything. My goal is to help clients feel safe, supported, understood, and genuinely empowered, not managed. I truly believe that having a place where you can feel safe and relaxed is often the first step toward healing. When we have the opportunity to let our guard down and feel accepted for who we are, we can begin to process what we've been carrying and work toward letting go.

Outside of work, life is busy and lively with my husband, out two children and our collection of pets. We have two cats, two dogs, and a rabbit. Animals have always been one of my main coping skills and self care. I am happiest when surrounded by them. I am also usually happiest in the middle of a DIY project, even if I'm not entirely sure how it is going to turn out when I start.

As a therapist, my role is to walk alongside as you discover your strengths, navigate challenges, and step into the version you want to become. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, trauma-focused, and tailored to each individual. I focus on helping you develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to your values.

I’ve spent my career supporting people who have experienced trauma, mental health, and substance use issues. I have used a mix of traditional talk therapy, art and adventure therapies to assist in the healing process. I have been in practice since 2002 after completing my master's in social work at Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts. Prior to completing my master's I worked in the social work field, working as a case manager and substance use counselor, and volunteering at my local domestic abuse program answering the crisis hotline, facilitating community support groups, and assisting in the annual walk for women's safety. I work with children, adults, families, couples, and groups. My style is natural and organic, giving you space to heal in a way that feels right for you. My approach is person centered. My focus is to help you build trust and safety at your own pace and create a strong therapeutic relationship for you to heal.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with a background in social work. I have a master's in clinical social work from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay. I have experience working in outpatient therapy and medical settings, which has shaped my grounded and integrative approach to care. I work with adults and children navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, professional stress, grief, and patterns that feel difficult to shift. I also support individuals experiencing self-doubt, boundary concerns, emotional overwhelm, and relational dynamics that leave them feeling unseen or unheard.

I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply need someone to talk to, I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can happen.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin. I view therapy as a collaborative process—you are the expert on your life, and it's a privilege to walk alongside you. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and hopeful as you move toward meaningful change.
