I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D. in Sociology, bridging clinical practice and research. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, life transitions, racial/ethnic identity and relational challenges, and burnout, with a focus on college students, young adults, Black women, and other people of color. Using a relational approach to therapy, I strive to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to embrace your authentic self. My goal is to help you move through your experiences with clarity and a deeper connection to who you truly are.
Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!
Clients often come to me with concerns about how to deal with microaggression, intersectional identities, burnout, communication concerns, family dynamics, perfectionism, self-critical thoughts, imposter syndrome, stress, trauma, anxiety, grief and loss. I support my clients through life transitions, relationship distress, self-critical thoughts, shame, grief, intersectional identities, and trauma.
Working with me, many clients report letting go of people pleasing, imperfections, expectations, shame, anxiety, carrying other people's burdens, having to regulate for others, self-critical thoughts, grief, loss, releasing old family patterns and wounds, and personalizing. Many clients say they have more capacity for joy, gratefulness, better communication skills within their lives, better boundaries, more self-compassion and grace, going after opportunities, better self-care, learning to advocate for themselves, more grounding and emotional regulation, and confidence.
I specialize in working with BIPOC women and men, activists, and healthcare workers.
I am currently working on becoming an art therapy practitioner. In 2019, I delivered my first TEDx talk on Shame Resilience.

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.
