Hi, I’m Shadow.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Wisconsin since 1997.

Throughout my career, I have focused on supporting children and families, women, couples and individuals affected by complex trauma, neglect and sexual abuse.

My professional path has included work in adolescent residential treatment in Kansas City; with mothers of infants who were incarcerated and struggling with substance use; and with men incarcerated for domestic violence. I have also served in the Dane County District Attorney’s Office supporting victims and witnesses of sensitive crimes, and as a K–12 School Social Worker. In addition, I have worked as a Child and Family Therapist and in a mobile mental health unit with first responders in Phoenix, a Clinical Supervisor and now as the Clinical Director of a mental health clinic in Madison, Wisconsin, where I oversee a team of 35 dedicated therapists.

The space I hold:

Integrity drives and steadies me, while discernment guides my approach. I am compassionately direct and committed to clarity, often noticing details that signal deeper areas for exploration. Together, we approach those moments with honesty and care.

My Guiding principle:

When people feel accepted for who they are, appreciated for their gifts, respected for their boundaries, held accountable for their participation, and truly seen for the Truth of who they are, they naturally rise to meet their own potential—in authentic connection with others.
