About me

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!
