Therapist

Virtual • Kenosha, WI


I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I have been practicing for 17 years, primarily seeing adults and senior citizens. I operate from a person-centered, emotionally-focused basis. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you with that. I utilize experiential and psychodramatic techniques.. These methods allow for role plays and visualizations. Such techniques increase your ability to get more deeply in touch with your issues and see situations clearly. When you reenact what happens at home, in the safety of the therapy office, solutions become clear and your voice becomes strong.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Milwaukee

Finding the right therapist in Milwaukee starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or a life transition — or whether you're looking for general mental health care. From there, look for a licensed provider (such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience with your specific needs and offers the session format you prefer, whether that's in-person or virtual.

Milwaukee has a large and varied mental health provider community, with therapists practicing across neighborhoods like Bay View, Wauwatosa, the East Side, and West Allis. Narrowing your options can feel overwhelming when so many directories list providers who may not be accepting new patients or taking your insurance. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and style — so you can feel more confident about the fit.

Therapy in Milwaukee can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and every provider listed is accepting new patients.
