Our therapy is meant to reach the whole you--mind, body, and spirit!

“Hope” is the thing with feathers--

That perches in the soul--

And sings the tune without the words--

And never stops--at all--

–-Emily Dickinson.

Hope begins the journey for each of us to become the person we want to be. With unconditional positive regard and someone who listens, we naturally gravitate to feel comfort in who we are. We can move toward health, self-discovery, and compassion for ourselves and others. I’m passionate about being a part of a person’s journey, focusing on their strengths and resilience. For instance, if a person becomes comfortable in their body, healing and growth can begin. I like to work with all ages. For instance, I practice Theraplay, a modality that fosters a positive, warm, relationship between a parent/caregiver and a child. Each person can learn to regulate emotions, and improve communication. I also practice Jungian Sand Tray Therapy and Brainspotting, in addition to various forms of talk therapy. I support people who want to use art, writing, dance, and yoga in their healing process. Everyone is worthy of being heard and accepted for who they are, and who they want to be. I’m passionate about watching people become their genuine selves. Contact me if you’d like a free consultation.

Creative Counseling of Milwaukee was founded in 2018 by Sarah and Craig, and their dear friend Sarah LaFollette, now part of LaFollette Therapy Services.

The idea for the clinic was to have a place where clients could use creative tools while healing in a warm and welcoming environment. They started by decorating the offices with art and artifacts donated by family and friends. They also collected art supplies, therapeutic games and devoted space where clients could sing, dance, meditate and practice yoga and Tai Chi. They created a sand tray from a toy box and collected over 350 miniatures and symbolic items. Doll houses, puppets, and dress-up clothes were gathered.

Soon, like-minded clinicians asked to join the agency, and Creative Counseling grew into what it is today: a place where clients can to learn to add creative activities into their daily lives.

I believe that everyone deserves to be happy, and that everyone possesses qualities that make them special and unique. So my treatments focus on your strengths.

You are an expert in your life and experience, and so as a team we can help you with your struggles, large or small. I help all ages, using just about every technique listed above. I usually practice Compassion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. For example, once we find and understand why we did not make a positive choice, we can focus on trying to do better the next time, rather than blaming ourselves.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, we also use techniques from the following.
