Grief Therapists in Eagan, MN

Healing isn't just about alleviating symptoms; it's about fostering growth, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose. My practice primarily focuses on providing therapy to individuals who are facing symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, stress, and trauma. I provide support to adolescents and adults struggling with self-esteem, family and peer relationship issues, co-dependency, family conflict, and life transitions. Additionally, I am fully trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support clients in healing symptoms of trauma.

Do you fear no one will understand you? In situations longer than you should be? Struggling with the complexities of grief or major life transitions? I work with adolescents, teens, and adults to help heal their self-worth wounds before their potential harmful coping skills manifest into lifelong struggles, and help folks rewrite their story once they understand that the only person that needs to understand them is themselves.

“..Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars” -Martin Luther King, Jr. It may be a dark time in your life or you may be unable to see your own goodness buried deep inside. Possibly you just want to explore what makes you happy and alive. There are so many reasons to seek out counseling and it is because of those reasons I became a therapist. I'm naturally curious about human nature. That, along with my knowledge of mind and body, neuroscience of the brain, and over 20 years of therapy experience, I can help you find the answers you are searching for.

My experience working with a diverse population of families, couples and individuals of all ages has led me to adopt and practice with a relational, client-centered and strengths-based approach. This follows my observations that individuals have internalized resources, wisdom and capacity for resilience that are often unrecognized or repressed. Strengthening those parts of the self provide the most enduring and transformative healing experiences. I also believe a critical component of my work with clients is helping them understand the brain/body connection, and how to utilize this understanding to manage symptoms and responses.

I have been working to build my caseload in the areas of grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I work well with clients that struggle with identifying purpose and goals, and need help with direction. It is important to me to engage with my clients in an empathetic, kind, and gentle way.

Life is full of transitions, some natural and expected and some unexpected and we all can use support in navigating those changes and transitions.

I am a compassionate, caring individual that is willing to navigate the difficulties life throws at you. My ideal client(s) are individuals/families/couples that have been faced with the death of a family member.
