Therapy is one of the most important components of society at this time. Just one look at the newspaper can give an indication of how much this world needs good mental health. I'd like to help you with your journey in finding peace and freedom from the symptoms that are robbing you of your best life. We can work together to find the most effective solutions to your problems.
I received my undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of WI-Milwaukee. I have done counseling work for over 22 years, and I've worked in a variety of settings including outpatient, residential, and inpatient therapy. I am licensed see clients in Wisconsin. I think my experiences will be invaluable in my work with you. Everyone has a story to tell and I would be privileged to help turn yours into a successful one.
When I'm not working, I like to spend time in outdoor activities. My wife and I like to binge watch good TV series. My 15-year-old daughter is usually on the volleyball court and too cool to hang out with her parents anymore.
Please feel free to contact me if you think I would be a good match for you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
