Life Coaching Therapists in Blaine, MN

I am committed to empowering individuals, couples and families to take charge of their lives as a means of enhancing their relationships and improving the quality of their lives. Most individuals enter therapy when how they have been doing life is no longer working. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches in my work and incorporate into each clients work those I believe will be most helpful to them and their situation. I most enjoy working with people experiencing especially challenging situations who are seeking more effective ways of coping with life stressors.

You may find yourself in a season of life where internally/personally, relationally, or professionally things feel uncomfortable, overwhelming, confusing, or worrisome. You may identify as a person who is feeling burnt out, wearing too many hats, feeling undervalued and misunderstood, having decision fatigue, feeling perfectionist tendencies, self-critical, avoidant of conflict, experiencing fears, reminded of childhood wounds/hurt, experiencing a life transition, etc. In any case, whatever brings you to therapy, I would be honored to come alongside you in your life's journey. There is hope for things to change!

As a Neuro-Divergent therapist, my goal is by building trust and providing guidance and empathy, we will work together to conquer, defeat, and understand the challenges that are preventing your ability to live the life you deserve. I hold over 10 years of experience helping individuals manage their ADHD symptoms, anxiety, mood disorders, family and relationship conflicts, depression, processing their trauma, and co-dependency. Professionally and personally I know the challenges and beauty associated with hearing "Focus more" and "Just work harder". WE'LL focus more and work harder together to overcome your biggest challenges.

My professional experiences have taught me that my passion is working with children and families. I have a wealth of knowledge in infant and child mental health. Also, I work with children who have trauma histories and the families that care for them. I have experience assisting with adoption issues, family work, anxiety, depression, PTSD, coping with life change, and child and adolescent mental health issues. Working collaboratively with parents is also an essential part of my therapy practice.

Together, we can pinpoint the root causes of your anxiety or depression so you can get back to peacefully creating a life you love.

I want to support you in the analysis of your, patterns, challenges and transitions. Are you unsure of your direction, your next move? Do you find yourself in familiar place, in spite of the fact that you've changed partners, jobs or the place you live? I've been there and at one particularly trying time in my life decided to go back to school and study RELATIONSHIPS. What I learned, backed by contemporary research, changed my life and set me on the path to helping others. KNOWLEDGE can help you establish a more satisfying direction and life.

Do you feel you can't do it alone? Do you feel trapped, stuck or discouraged? Do you have nowhere else to turn? I provide an environment that is supportive and nurturing, where you are heard, validated, and understood while making new life choices. It is my belief and experience that people make healthy, positive 'change' when given the encouragement and skills/tools to do so. I look forward to connecting with you, as you search for understanding, meaning, and satisfaction in your life.

You try to talk about something important to you and somehow it becomes a fight. How can this person you love and built your life with feel like such a stranger sometimes? Does it have to be this hard? To others, it seems like you have the perfect life and relationship. They’d be surprised to know the truth. When one or both of your buttons are pushed, things go off the rails. You know you love each other deeply and both want a solid and healthy relationship – but when these conflicts happen, you feel so disconnected and hopeless that you question whether you’ll ever be able to truly resolve things and find a deep connection again.

You, the client, are the priority of my psychology practice. I work as a Licensed Psychologist and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. What your goals and vision are for your life personally and professionally is the focus of your psychotherapy and/or marriage therapy. I will provide a therapeutic environment based on positive regard for you and assist and assess what your wants and needs are psychologically. I am willing, committed, and trained as your psychologist/coach to help empower you in your life choices. I specialize in Couples Counseling, Marriage Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Depression Therapy, and Life Coaching.

I utilize a solution-focused approach and aim to empower, while integrating the body, mind, and spirit. Through bringing compassion and listening to your story, I work with you to find the root causes of your challenges, identify beliefs, and help you transform them into positive ways of thinking so you have a more joy-filled and fulfilling life. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples utilizing a variety of holistic techniques to address issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, parenting issues, codependency, and marital issues.

I have experience working with a culturally diverse population of individuals. My clients range from age 6 to age 65. Most of my experience is working with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families. I believe the greatest success is to accompany the client on their journey and to be the guide to navigate through the challenges of life. I regard the client to be the expert in their lives and it is important for them to discuss their goals and their expectations. My clients who experience the greatest success are motivated and ready to work, open-minded, flexible, introspective, honest, and trusting.

Weight loss and body weight management are the primary subjects of my video-based counseling, where attention is focused on the psychological factors (e.g., stress, self-esteem, low mood, anxiety, work and family pressures, etc.) that contribute to, or interfere with, your success. After 35 years of providing general psychotherapy, my practice has now shifted to a subject I am passionate about: assisting and guiding those who wish to lose weight, and have found previous efforts to do so, unsuccessful. Our counseling will be covered by your insurance plan, because we will be working on issues related to your mental health.

I am passionate about self-empowerment and believe that relationships with self, significant other, family, and friends are important and interconnected. I approach therapy with a focus on mind-body wellness and work collaboratively with my clients. I provide a safe and compassionate environment where clients from all cultures and communities feel heard and understood.

Are you tired of therapists who say that they do relationship therapy only to have you practice basic communication skills? Are you tired of the lack of progress and want to get unstuck once and for all? I specialize in making sure that time does continue to pass by while you are feeling weighed down in the status quo. I'm straightforward and honest. My clients describe me as annoyingly neutral when they try to get me to take sides against their partners. They also describe me as willing to ask the hard questions and willing to keep people accountable. I love helping people navigate every stage of coupling or uncoupling.
