I am a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and coach. I specialize is using motivational interviewing, mindful self-compassion, brainspotting, and other compassion-based methods to help you with trauma, mental health, and general life stressors. I have seen many incredible recoveries and transformations during my last 15 years in this field. Being a part of your healing and growth motivates me to continue my work as a therapist and coach. I am deeply honored to be a part of your healing, change, and recovery. I am originally an east coaster, but I now live and work in Milwaukee, WI. I am (always learning to be) a dad to my two children, my bully dog, and my super hot chili pepper plants.
I am experienced in being with and supporting others who are suffering from a stance of non-judgement, acceptance, and compassion. Depression, anxiety, and trauma are some of the issues I commonly help others with. My therapy approach is very flexible but grounded in evidence based practices, I enjoy collaborating with you to help develop a personalized therapy that will help you most. I work with you in an authentic way that honors our humanity.
