Mental Health Practioners in Delray Beach

Our Journey

We began our journey together in Chicago in 2009 in our graduate program for counseling psychology. We shared an instant connection, a love for helping others, and an entrepreneurial spirit.  Throughout our clinical training programs and since graduating, we have lived and worked together across the Midwest, in various settings, and with a multitude of populations.

We are lucky to have learned and trained in exceptional systems and under incredibly skilled clinicians and businesspeople. And, we have also worked in systems that did not serve their staff or clients as well as they should have. We have grown tremendously as professionals and people over the past decade as a result of these experiences and the wonderful guidance we have received. We have honed our crafts through thousands of hours of clinical work, celebrating a lot of inspirational moments and working to learn from those more humbling experiences of mistakes, disappointment, and frustration.

In early 2022, we relocated our family from Madison, Wisconsin to South Florida to be closer to family and actualize our dream of building our own private psychotherapy practice.

The Meaning of “Breakwater”

A breakwater is “a barrier built into a body of water to protect a coast or harbor from the force of waves.” We see psychotherapy as just that—a process for building or reinforcing a strong foundation that can help you withstand life’s biggest challenges.

We understand that you are on your own journey and commend you for exploring ways to better connect with what matters most to you. We welcome the chance to know you and work alongside you to live life to it’s fullest.
