ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Wisconsin

Hello! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving individuals of all ages throughout Wisconsin. I believe mental health care should feel approachable, supportive, and free from judgment. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or returning to care, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and discussing what's on your mind.

As a therapist, my role is to walk alongside as you discover your strengths, navigate challenges, and step into the version you want to become. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, trauma-focused, and tailored to each individual. I focus on helping you develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to your values.

I’ve been providing individual, and group therapy services to ages 11 + for the last 5 years. I specialize in working with trauma, attachment disorders, AODA issues, ADHD, and chronic emotional dysregulation. I’m trained in a number of therapeutic approaches including DBT and practice from a relational-cultural framework.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with over 20 years of experience in mental health. I am fully bilingual English/Spanish. I grew up in Puerto Rico and move to FL about 30 years ago. I have an intense training and experience in Trauma recovery helping victim of violence, illness or accidents. I also have long years of experience working with grief, relationship issues, mental health afflictions like depression, stress and others. I am also trained and enjoy helping neuro atypical people to develop ways of managing life that can work for them. I can work with all ages 6 and up. I have a certification as child/youth mental health specialist. I enjoy painting and encourage the use of creativity to work through emotional pain.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, practicing since 2021. I have 8 years of experience working in mental health, from residential programs to outpatient. I received my graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Palo Alto University and received my undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with kids, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, stress, autism, executive functioning challenges, late or complex diagnosis, and the kinds of stuck thoughts and big feelings that get in the way of daily life. My approach is developmental, neuroscience-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming, which is a fancy way of saying I'm more interested in how your brain actually works than in what's "wrong" with it.

Through Headway, I provide insurance-billed therapy. I also offer comprehensive evaluations (ADHD, autism, and the Exam Readiness Profile for high-stakes testing), parent and professional consultations, clinical supervision, and trainings through my practice at dropsych.com, plus self-paced courses, workbooks, and family resources at stickybrainstudio.org.
