Grief counselors and therapists in Milwaukee, WI

I specialize in supporting people navigating trauma, addiction, and tough emotional seasons. As an APSW and SAC-IT in Wisconsin, I bring training in Youth-Oriented Substance Abuse and Trauma Counseling, as well as Brainspotting. In our work together, we’ll look at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect—especially around substance use, trauma, and patterns that feel hard to change—so you can feel safer, more understood, and more in control of your life.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, life transitions, chronic health concerns using a lifestyle medicine–informed approach. Many clients feel overwhelmed managing both mental health symptoms and physical conditions, while balancing work, relationships, and caregiving demands. Often high-functioning yet exhausted, they carry a significant mental and physical load and feel disconnected from their needs or direction. This work focuses on restoring stability by addressing the behavioral and lifestyle factors that influence overall health.

I have been a therapist for 23 years, and I still consider it a privilege to sit with people during the hardest and most tender parts of their lives. My style is warm and down to earth. I am not the therapist who nods silently for 50 minutes. I will ask real questions, laugh with you, and tell you the truth kindly when you need to hear it.

Much of my work centers on anxiety, depression, stress, women's issues, family relationships, grief, chronic illness, end of life concerns, and questions of identity and culture. If you are carrying something heavy, you do not have to explain it perfectly for me to understand it.

Outside my office, I am usually with my two corgis, cooking with my husband, or trying a new restaurant with him. We also love travel and live music.

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I"m glad you're here. Since 2011, I've helped children, teens, and adults work through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma.

I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely understood, not judged. Whether you're carrying wounds from the past, feeling stuck in the present, or simply wanting healthier relationships, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and tailor therapy to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. For those who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian principles into our work together.

With years of experience in providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges.

You’ve taken an important step in exploring your healing options, and I’m here to support you. My background includes working with children, youth, adults, and families who have experienced trauma, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate life after what you’ve been through. When working with children and youth, I partner with parents, caregivers, and other natural supports to create consistency, strengthen connection, and support healing beyond the therapy space. I also recognize that children grow into adults who may carry unhealed wounds that continue to influence their relationships, emotions, and sense of self.
