ART Therapists in Milwaukee, WI

I have been a therapist for many years. I love helping people to quiet their pain, to better their relationships, to work through the trauma’s of the past when necessary. I believe feeling connected to oneself and others is a most important goal. I am a Dr. who wants to help individuals improve their quality of life.

As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

I work with individuals and couples who are ready to build fulfilling and joyful relationships- emotionally, physically, and sexually. Clients find me when they're ready to be done fighting, feeling emotionally distant, and having less than ideal sex. I am particularly passionate about helping clients navigate discrepancies in sexual desire or interest, recover from out of control sexual behavior including sex and porn addiction, and supporting couples as they incorporate kink or ethical non-monogamy into their relationship.

Professionally, I have advanced training and experience in treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and insomnia. For six years, I worked for the VA, helping veterans heal the invisible wounds of combat and other traumatic experiences. Now, I offer therapy to the wider community, including veterans. I love what I do, and that shine through in my work. Please feel free to contact me to learn more about my practice and to set up an appointment.

Are you worried about the way you are feeling? Maybe you are overwhelmed, can't sleep, are plagued by intrusive thoughts, or just feel sad and stuck. I provide therapy designed for healing and growth. Using research based strategies tailored to how you learn, we will build on your strengths to help you reach the life you want, on a timeline that feels right for you. You are not in this alone, and together we will create a plan to help you feel well, honor your emotions, and feel confident in yourself and your choices.

Milwaukee is one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States, and the mental health effects of systemic inequality, concentrated poverty, and community violence disproportionately affect its Black residents — driving demand for culturally affirming and trauma-informed therapists. The city has a strong Polish, German, and working-class heritage in many of its neighborhoods, and therapists frequently address intergenerational family dynamics, addiction, and depression tied to economic stress. Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin provide major institutional mental health resources alongside community-based providers. Milwaukee's proximity to Chicago means some residents also access care in the broader metro corridor.
