Adults Therapists in Madison, WI

I have practiced psychotherapy since 1971, with a special interest in the emotional and relationship problems of adults and couples. I work with adults in acute distress as well as those with persisting difficulties that interfere with effective functioning and the full enjoyment of adult life. I ESPECIALLY WORK WITH COUPLES WHO ARE UNHAPPY IN THEIR MARRIAGE. In my view, emotionally committed relationships tend to be A HOTBED FOR REACTIVATION OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS from the past that can produce unexpected misery.

I'm a queer-identified EMDR-trained licensed professional counselor with a background working with depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and chronic pain. Areas of focus include social/emotional aspects of bariatrics, neurodivergence, disability, and long Covid. My person-centered integrative approach draws from Buddhist Psychology, and Narrative Therapy.

Therapy is effective when the therapist is guiding the client down a path that the therapist has already successfully completed. My heightened emotional sensitivity to myself and the world surrounding me led me on a journey of self-discovery where I learned to resolve my personal losses and access my power and intuition. Through the lessons of my resolved cycles of suffering, I have found consistent access to my emotional maturity and intuitive wisdom: Giving me the gift of living in the flow of life. Once I became grounded in the depth & flow of my being, I felt called to guide others who are on a similar journey.

Life is full of surprises. Unexpected situations occur that impact the ways in which we cope with the world and our circumstances. Handling these issues over and over can leave us feeling exhausted, frustrated, out-of-control and saddened. When things just don’t feel right, it is time to reach out and ask for help. You don’t have to face your challenges alone. I’m a big fan of helping you find your voice and live the life you love. I want to help you find your power and purpose so you can navigate life like a boss!

I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in child and family therapy. I see children ages 0-18 and/or their caregivers. I love to work with parents and caregivers in supporting and better understanding their little one(s). I can also offer support during the precious, and most stressful perinatal period.

I partner with my clients to reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and malaise, while also building strengths and adaptation strategies. To do this, we usually 1) explore any straightforward or creative ways to alter life circumstances that contribute to the malaise, and 2) identify, then make and implement a plan to reduce any self-limiting thoughts, beliefs, assumptions, and doubts that contribute to my clients' distress. While this sounds abstract and difficult, I am informal in my approach and we often have a good time getting where we're going!

Are you looking for help with the stress and anxiety you’re feeling each day? The overwhelm has gotten to a point where it’s affecting every part of your life, and you’re not sure what to do. Is life going to be like this forever? No one seems to understand what you’re going through, and you wish you could just let go of everything that is weighing you down. Maybe you saw something about mental health on TikTok and immediately thought: “That sounds just like me.” You’ve found a safe place where you can feel supported in taking the next steps towards relief, learning more about yourself, and embracing the future.

I offer sophisticated psychotherapy to individuals and couples with warmth and compassion. Specializing in working with high-functioning professionals (physicians, psychologists, professors, lawyers, executives), you will receive my full attention and focus as I learn about you, understand why you feel, think and behave the way you do and help you gain deeper understanding of yourself and your problems. We can look at patterns in your thinking, behavior and way of relating to others that may be holding you back. I also offer psychological testing in order to gain deeper insight into your personality style.

Life transitions and relationships can be both beautiful and difficult. Everyone deserves a safe space to share and explore their thoughts and feelings. Often through reflection, when we allow ourselves to slow down and notice what we are experiencing in the moment, true self discovery and capacity from within can be found and cultivated. With compassion and openness I walk along side my clients as they work towards relief and resolution. I utilize a blend of traditional therapy approaches along with experiential modalities such as Brainspotting, Mindfulness exercises, and Guided Visualizations to tailor the therapeutic experience.
