Our Milwaukee Practicum Providers
Meet our Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology and Marquette University doctoral candidates.
While all of our Milwaukee therapists share a common goal, providing premium care in a safe environment, we know that therapy is not a one size fits all process. We have multiple therapists here at New Frontiers, with a variety of styles and specialties. This allows us to ensure that our patients get specialized care in a comfortable setting, whether that is in-person at our Milwaukee office or via Telehealth appointments.

With over 17 years of experience working with a diverse group of adolescents and adults in many different settings and facets, she welcomes you to trust her to meet you where you are. The therapeutic relationship is extremely important to me and focusing on my client’s needs is Autumn’s top priority. As a mental health provider, she provides a safe and comfortable environment for you to identify your strengths and explore your struggles.
