Therapists in Chaska, MN

Have you or your child recently been diagnosed with ADHD? I would be honored to support you in this chapter of your life. Helping people with ADHD live their best lives and Iove themselves, is my passion. ADHD and executive function differences affect every aspect of life. Working with someone who "gets it", can be life changing. I welcome people from other neurodiverse communities as well. Soy Bilingue.

Anxiety is a life-sucker and can be extremely crippling. It can interfere with your ability to stay present, be productive, maintain relationships, and can rob you of happiness. Maybe you've become homebound, can't go to sleep without checking off a list of items over and over or get so caught up in your thinking that you feel paralyzed to make any decisions. Perhaps your anxiety is compounded with ADHD and life seems like a true slog to get anything accomplished. You’ve seen therapists, but with each failed intervention attempt, you only become more certain that it’s hopeless. You cannot give up, there's another way forward.

Clients come to Mosaic Psychological Assessment, to find answers to a broad range of questions, such as what diagnosis makes sense for them (e.g., ADHD, Depression, etc.) to questions about what is making them feel stuck in their forward progress in life, in therapy, in relationships, at work, or in school. What does the mosaic of your life look like? What are each of the small tiles that add up to the picture of who you are now? What would you like to change?

Many people receive messages their entire lives about not being good enough. I'm here to be a supportive, thoughtful and empathetic response to this. I am passionate about intersectional feminism, disability rights, queer rights, trans rights, fat liberation, and health at every size (HAES). I especially enjoy working with folks who experience challenges related to neurodivergence, trans and queer identities.

My perspective is that we all can experience more joy and fulfillment in our personal and interpersonal relationships. Together we can gain insight and focus, take on new directions, achieve and find greater life satisfaction. I facilitate this process through emotional, experiential, spiritual, and educational support, where together people learn to better meet situational stressors, such as loss, financial struggles, life transitions, and habitual patterns. People begin to see their lives holistically and know their personal power. Together, we work to fully realize the empowerment, enhancement and enchantment that are the true nature of our being.

Whether anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, depression, or all of the above are getting in the way of you feeling healthy, empowered, and resilient, therapy can help you live a more balanced life.
