In Person Therapists in Bloomington, MN

I enjoy building therapeutic relationships and promoting positive changes in people's lives. My clients often struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, relationship issues, sleep problems, self esteem and confidence. I am especially interested in working with gay identified men and people struggling with phobias or OCD, but love working with all sorts of folks and issues. Working collaboratively with clients, I try to help them find alternative ways of dealing with life's challenges. I believe therapy helps people become more authentic and well balanced version of themselves and not be controlled by anxiety or depression.

I provide a judgement-free therapy environment. My clients set goals, work to achieve those goals and move forward with their lives. I want my clients to experience feeling empowered, in control and accomplished. There is no issue or circumstance we can't work through together. I am excited about the training I have as a Psychedelic Assisted Therapist to use extremely safe and effective medicine like Ketamine. I use oral doses of Ketamine to facilitate a more enhanced therapy experience. Ketamine as a tool in the therapy session helps my clients feel more confident and at ease while facing challenging parts of their history.

Life is one big challenge. Therapy is about support for movement and change.

As a Licensed Psychologist, I have specialized in children (age 11 and up), teens, and young adults for over 20 years. I am passionate about my work and am blessed to be in a field that I love so much! I understand the stress and pressure that young people feel these days and have witnessed the growing trends that negatively impact mental health. Anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, relationship and friend issues, grief and loss. . . you’re not alone. Therapy can help you to develop healthy coping strategies, challenge negative and distorted beliefs, and develop positive resources within yourself.

Are you often stuck in your own head, overwhelmed, or experiencing thoughts on a loop? Have others pointed out your "perfectionist" or "people-pleasing" tendencies before?

Together, we can explore these challenges, understand their roots, and work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future that is grounded in your values. You deserve a life that's not defined by intrusive thoughts, worries, or self-doubt, and I'm here to help you reclaim it.

Unleash your inner mermaid. Like a mermaid, you were born wondrous and whole, with awe-inspiring potential. Perhaps, like her, trauma hides your power, voice, and sense of magic; tries to cut you off from true self, body, community, and nature’s rhythms; tells oppressive stories that serve to keep you “in your place,” lost, lonely, ashamed, fearful, unfulfilled, or hating your body. The mermaid reclaims her birthright and returns to her community– stronger and more magnificent than ever. You, too, can lay that colonizing fear “am I enough?” in its watery grave, re-discover your voice, step into your wild power, and trust yourself.

We all go through difficult times in our lives that can be painful, overwhelming, and confusing. Sometimes we need help navigating these difficult times.

Therefore, I feel passionate about getting to know you as an individual and helping you discover new insight about your emotions, beliefs, internal conflicts, and relational patterns. Together we can help you gain clarity, experience healing, and free yourself up to live a more fulfilling life.

Seeking change requires risk and risk requires vulnerability. Your first step toward therapeutic change involves courage. You are reaching out and that is not easy.
