Therapists in Minnesota
Healing happens best in consideration of the whole person. Culture, personal identity, and lifestyle are components of self that should be explored and celebrated throughout the therapy process. Curiosity, humor, and compassion can be found within my therapeutic space. As a counselor, I utilize a strength-based approach that focuses on building feelings of empowerment and self-efficacy.

I come into this work with a dozen years of experience working in mental health and social services in Central MN with people of all ages. Though my expertise is in Trauma and Neuropsychology, I'm here to support my client's through whatever reality they're facing. A self proclaimed "outside the box" therapist, I apply a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet my client's unique needs. I genuinely believe that with the right information and support, anyone can change their life - so my style often reflects a teaching style where I can translate centuries of data into practical tools that you can use to create the change you seek.

My philosophy is based on the social work premise that as a therapist I must meet the client where the client is...meaning that I want to understand your needs and goals to help you create the life you want. I offer therapy to assist clients with difficulties associated with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, PTSD, sexual identity and transgender issues. Women in all stages of life and folks transitioning to new identities are of special interest to me. I am passionate about providing specialized services, including trauma processing, to meet the psychological and emotional needs of law enforcement officers and their families.

“No matter how difficult it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth” – Martha Beck If you are looking for a safe place to stop your circular thinking, to open up, and say it out loud, then this is your invitation to do so. A label you may identify with or are wondering about is: anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, neurodivergence, heartbreak, divorce, career confusion, or relationship struggles. These labels can increase our self-understanding or keep us stuck. For couples struggling with lack of connection, poor communication, infidelity, or phase of life issues, take the risk and get busy fighting for what you have.

As a therapist, I am committed to being a source of unconditional positive regard, asking hard and important questions, offering observations to identify connections in experiences, exploring and challenging negative self-beliefs, offering tools and skills in the capacity desired, and celebrating the ups and the downs of the process. I believe human growth, change, and healing is most easily found when we allow ourselves the chance to be uncomfortable. I am a Certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner and have found it to be an incredible tool for increasing healing with life’s big and small difficulties.

It can be difficult to take the first step toward change. Maybe you're dealing with a challenging life transition or have dealt with ongoing anxiety, low self esteem, substance abuse or relationship difficulties. If you are unsure where to begin, you are in the right place. As a therapist, I strive to provide a non-judgmental, welcoming, and safe space where clients can feel accepted and supported.

Sometimes life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, making it seem as if we have little control over the path our lives are taking. Trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and other life challenges can make ordinary life difficult to navigate. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment that allows my clients to gain mastery over their situation rather than allowing their circumstances to run their lives. My therapeutic approach is culturally sensitive, collaborative, unique to each client, and focuses on client strengths.
