Therapists in Duluth, MN

"Tomorrow, you promise yourself, will be different, yet, tomorrow is too often a repetition of today." James T. Mccay. Research has repeatedly shown that the single largest factor impacting treatment outcomes is not a provider's treatment methodology or theoretical orientation, but rather the quality of a client's relationship with their individual provider. Consequently I work with each client to design a carefully researched yet highly customized program that fits their unique needs. I am able to form a realistic plan for improving their life situation that brings about improvement in their symptoms quickly.

I work with clients by offering psychotherapy integrated with art-making and/or evidence-based practices (CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness). Together, we creatively explore your feelings, thoughts, relationships, and set goals. Treatment can address: anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, relationships, or other stress-related issues. Past traumas and adverse events create negative self-beliefs that are maladaptive and impact each of us presently. Through a non-judgmental and compassionate lens, I hope to work with you and begin the process of healing creatively.

Congratulations for trusting yourself enough to explore ways to make your life easier! This is what my work is all about-helping you make your life easier. We all deserve to feel fulfilled and happy in our lives. If you're not able to do this on your own right now, please call to see if I'm the right fit for you.

My hope is that you're able to find a good fit for your therapist, as it has been my experience that the qualities found in the therapeutic relationship, including authenticity, validation, understanding, and mutual empathy are some of the essential foundations to the work of healing. I enjoy helping others find both acceptance with themselves and their life experiences, along with working to accomplish the kinds of changes they would like to make in their lives.

Our world is complex and navigating it can feel overwhelming. The only constant is change and sometimes it can be hard to know what’s next. Is it any surprise that we sometimes get stuck? I work with couples, individuals, and families and help them work through difficult times by creating new paths.

Most of us are seeking some kind of peace in our lives. At times our lives feel off track. We feel stuck, and hungry for things to be different. I will teach you skills and tools to make the needed changes to create the life you want. I give homework at the end of every session to help change the patterns in life that aren't working. These tools will assist you in reconnecting with your own wisdom, and in guiding you to your own answers. It’s possible to live a life of peace and joy. Since COVID many clients have discovered Telemedicine is a very convient way to engage in therapy without having to leave work or home.

In my practice, I want to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can be open in their efforts to make the changes they are seeking. Together we will look at your strengths and goals. I have 30 years of experience working with grief and loss. My other areas of focus are anxiety, stress management, depression, self-esteem and transitional changes in life. My approaches in therapy are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered, Mindfulness, Solution-focused and Narrative. Outside of therapy, I enjoy hiking, walking, hanging at my cabin, reading, art and hanging with my Golden Retrievers, Emma and Mollie.

I find that we seek out therapy when what has worked is no longer working and we are feeling stuck, which calls us to understand ourselves differently and move towards change. While change can be uncertain, therapy can offer a deeper understanding of your authentic self and what you need. I have a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing life transitions such as academic and career change, family of origin transitions, family changes, grief and loss, interpersonal distress, trauma and relational concerns. I'm passionate about connecting with teens and adults of all backgrounds and identities.

I am a clinical psychologist with over twenty years of experience in psychotherapy and assessment.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Minnesota and I am also licensed in Wisconsin. I provide a problem-solving and skill-equipping approach with my client’s health and wellness at the center of each session. Clients may come to my office with difficulties of depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, physical health struggles, becoming a new parent, or other life transition struggles. Every therapeutic relationship is unique and I approach therapy through a Humanistic lens while at times adding Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions and mindfulness techniques.

I am happy you are reaching out. I'm of the mindset that everyone can benefit from therapy. Each of us has unique worries or concerns. We may say to ourselves, “I don't want to burden my friends and family with these” or “I just can't imagine anyone listening to me without judgment”. Choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable talking to is essential. I understand that many times the only way to build self-compassion, improve relationships, and cope with stress is to start off feeling understood, respected, and valued.
