I am licensed in Wisconsin with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, coping with grief and loss, & intimacy related issues. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Many clients find it helpful to have an objective and trusted listener. Someone they can talk with and receive support from without fear of judgment. I offer a comfortable and private setting for you to settle in and talk about your concerns. Maybe you are having some feelings and thoughts that scare you or maybe you are under a lot of stress or grieving a significant loss. The thought of change is usually more overwhelming than the actual change and I am here to help you through that.
I identify as a black, female therapist who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am passionate about serving people from all cultural backgrounds and ages. I enjoy partnering with clients to help them take ownership of their journey and empower them on their road to healing. I strive to support individuals and families in their efforts to heal and grow as well as become reconnected to their strengths and dreams.
Maybe you're contemplating a change and not sure about your path; a new job, starting, ending, or recharging a relationship, resolving old hurts, or grieving the loss of someone special. Remember that the first step is always the hardest but you have already taken that step by starting the search for a therapist. Now it is time to make that appointment.

Sylvia is my first ever therapist and she’s the absolute best! She gives me all the advice that I am looking for no matter what the problem is. She listens very well and I can tell she assesses my problems thoroughly to give me the advice I need.

She made this experience amazing for me. She is so kind and helpful. Going in I thought she would tell me what I should be doing, but really she is giving me recommendations and allowing me to choose what I’m doing and helping me set goals for myself.

This is the kindest person I have had the privilege of working with. She is professional when needed and also keeps it very personal. She pulled strength out of me I was unaware of. I could not have been matched with a better human! Thank you Sylvia you are a therapy rock star!!
