Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Wisconsin

I have worked primarily with adults, older adults, and adolescents on issues of mental health that may be impacting one's ability to function in day-to-day life such as: depression, anxiety, other mood and thought disorders, suicidality (for individuals as well as those bereaved from suicide losses), interpersonal violence, LGBTQIA+ support, topics surrounding race and culture, hoarding (both individuals affected and their loved ones), criminal justice system-involvement, and trauma (individual, intergenerational, and community).

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have experience working in outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatric settings, residential substance use treatment, as well as community re-entry and job coaching support programs for the last 10 years.

I bring nearly 20 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.

I know how overwhelming things can feel—and more importantly, I know how to help you move through it in a way that feels comfortable and empowering.

I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use? You don't have to navigate these heavy burdens alone. Whether you are dealing with painful memories from the past, managing daily stress, or trying to break painful cycles, healing is possible. I specialize in helping individuals regain control, process trauma, and build a fulfilling life grounded in strength and peace.
