Somatic Therapists in Coon Rapids, MN

I'm passionate to partner with you to receive mind/body/spirit healing that lasts, regardless of the amount of trauma or overwhelm you have experienced! You will learn holistic tools that supersede talk therapy to embody feeling whole and alive. I will empower you to shift your neurobiology throughout each day, allowing you gain the capacity to neutralize the painful life experiences your body has been storing. I specialize with neurophysiological healing from all forms of overwhelming life circumstances including prolonged trauma and dissociation.

I have over 30 years working in mental health and addiction. I work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents dealing with addiction, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, communication, boundaries, parenting, crisis intervention, trauma, relationship issues, women's issues, LGBLTQ+, work life issues and life transitions. I am strength based in my approach and strive to assist people to empower themselves and to have the courage to change the things they can. I have completed the three year intensive training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) qualifying me as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

Hello and welcome to my page! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker passionate in supporting individuals on their journey. I utilize a compassionate and person-centered approach, helping individuals navigate the complexities of their unique experiences. I work with each client to address the root causes of issues rather than focusing solely on surface-level symptoms. By exploring the mind, body, and spirit, therapy can promote deeper and more lasting healing. My goal is to create a safe and affirming space where you can explore and process your feelings, fostering healing and empowerment.

I'm currently full- but my Mindful Way colleagues may still have openings. Making the step to come to therapy is a hard one. I feel honored to provide a warm, safe, and compassionate space for you to share your story and truly be heard. I believe you are the expert on your relationships, health, emotions, and body. I work with Adults and children (ages 2-7). I welcome folks of all backgrounds (ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation) and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, culturally responsive environment that supports your healing journey.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been working in the field of psychology for 20+ years. I enjoy providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I utilize Experiential Play Therapy to help children recover from trauma and abuse as well as for children experiencing life stressors such as divorce and difficulties at school. I also practice Filial Therapy to strengthen parent-child relationships and reduce difficult behavior such as tantrums and defiance. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing to address symptoms of trauma such as flashbacks, avoidance, anxiety, depression, self-harm, etc.

Hello and welcome to the beginning of your healing journey! In addition, I am dually licensed in MN and WI and an approved supervisor for LMFT and LPCC.

I am passionate about working people to help them feel better about themselves, their relationships, and their life! We all struggle sometimes, and choosing therapy is a brave choice. I am always honored to be part of someone’s journey. Together we will work to address the root of any pain or anxiety you are feeling. We will explore where your issues come from, honor your past, while learning new ways to make peace with your present. I will help you learn new ways to cope with your emotions while working to address the deep stuff that is making life feel so hard sometimes.

Tired of feeling stuck? You've had it with depression and anxiety taking you away from being present. If thinking could rid you of it you would have been freed long ago because you are insightful. It is time to identify the root issues, confront the pain and fear from the past so you can move forward. It is time to live out your values with integrity and have meaningful connections with yourself, your loved ones and your community.

My commitment to lifelong learning informs my work, which is rooted in trauma-focused therapy modalities that prioritize the integration of mind, body and spirit. I believe that our bodies hold our stories, and it is crucial to incorporate body-based wisdom into therapy sessions. With nearly 20 years of experience, I have provided a safe space for healing, self-reflection, and support.

I also have extensive knowledge in high-conflict parenting dynamics and frequently consult with mediators or Parenting Consultants to assist in my client's progress. I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner for individuals struggling with emotional regulation and trauma.

Welcome to a space where embracing your present emotional experiences leads to profound personal growth and transformation. I believe neglecting these emotions can leave us feeling unseen, insecure, and alone. My goal is to create a safe environment where you can explore these feelings with intention. With an MA in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Thomas, my clinical interests span men's issues, career concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, depression, relationships, anxiety, boundaries, sexuality, and trauma. I’m interested in supporting neurodiverse clients.

Are you going through a major life change? I work with women on self-discovery, the inevitable life changes that may come after 40, and adjusting healthily to change.
