Immediate Availability - Hello everyone! Therapy with me is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and even fun at times. There is no pressure for you to be anything or anyone besides yourself. I believe you have the power to create change in your life, and I am here to support you along the way. I enjoy working with clients who are navigating their identities, such as cultural, gender, or religious identities. I have experience working with clients in interracial romantic relationships. I enjoy helping clients navigate their careers and/or academic journeys through high school/college/grad school.

I have a strong passion for working alongside clients during times of transition and change in their lives. Within my work as a counselor, I have found the importance in creating individual goals based on the client's needs and values, as we are more likely to challenge ourselves and identify obstacles when we value the process. Through personalization of therapy and a holistic approach, I am able to support and encourage clients to progress through the process of internal and external change.

Do you want to get to know yourself better? Therapy is a powerful tool in helping you do just that. In our work, I'll create a safe and nurturing space in which we can reduce your symptoms and achieve insight. Through our talk we'll uncover negative patterns. These patterns appear in our personal relationships or professional lives, and often in both. Often they appear most prominently when a life change happens. By understanding these unhelpful patterns, we can then address them so that you can lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life - and get "unstuck!" I work with many who identify as LGBTQ+ and am an ally.

Do you feel stuck in the same pattern of conflict and wish for better communication with the important people in your life? Do you want to deepen connection with yourself and others? Do you need to find ways to set boundaries with those around you? A supportive, collaborative, and safe therapeutic relationship can help you work through all of the above, and more.

Each of us experience times in our lives in which our problems seem overwhelming. We may become stuck in the same patterns of dealing with challenges. By working collaboratively with clients through therapy or psychological assessment, my goal is to help each of my clients become "unstuck" and create positive change. Therapeutic relationships built on trust & respect are imperative to the success of any therapeutic intervention. I strive to create a warm & safe environment in which client's can feel more comfortable telling their stories & exploring the issues for which they are seeking support.

I am a dually licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience working with complex individuals and family systems. I specialize in chemical health, mental health, wellness, intervention, and recovery services. I complete a strength-based assessment with emphasis on current functioning and skill building to determine individual and/or family needs in an effort to create a collaborative plan for overall health and recovery. (Please note my email response to inquiries sometimes lands in your junk/spam box!)

I am particularly interested in working with queer and trans adults and the parents of queer and trans children (who may be queer and/or trans themselves). As the oppression of queer and trans people ramp up, it is important to me to create a caring, healing space for members of our community seeking support. As a trained abortion doula, I am deeply connected to issues around pregnancy, and take an all-options approach to supporting each individual in their own journey towards birthing children or not, and towards parenting or not.

My clinical interests include working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, adjustment disorders, relational issues/concerns, self-injurious behaviors, suicidal ideation, self-esteem issues, trauma related issues & PTSD, complex trauma, dissociation, and personality disorders. I would like to help you be able to identify the goals you would like to achieve to live a more desirable life. Once we have this goal established, we will work together to identify new coping skills to address situations that feel distressing to you.

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.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works with individuals ages 16+. I specialize in working with individuals who are coping with anxiety, depression, struggles with life changes, or who are hoping to explore their identity. I have a special interest in helping clients navigate grief and loss in all forms including ambiguous loss- the losses that society may not immediately recognize or may stigmatize.

Are you feeling stressed or anxious? Do you feel like you've tried everything but nothing has helped? Are these issues impacting your relationships or your job? There is hope!

My formal education and clinical training happened later in life. But my experience in youth and individual counseling began over 12 years ago. My position as a mother, grandmother and wife gives me a perspective of over 32 years of life experience and empathy. My natural inclination to simply embrace, enjoy, and accept people without judgment, has prepared and enabled me to open of avenues of connection with a diverse client base. I believe that every client has the skill to heal and just needs some guidance and support. I am experienced in working with Individuals, Family, Couples and teens.

If you are looking for a therapist who is accessible, present, fearless, and authentic, then we might just be a match. I love clients who are therapy veterans and know what they want (or what they don't). I also love to help clients who are new to therapy and feel a little nervous, to feel secure and supported. Whether you have a trauma history that you need someone grounded to help you address, or just are feeling overwhelmed, if you are wanting to collaborate on making your world better, I am here for it. I bring a lifetime of experiences (and a fondness for metaphors) to the therapy room for us to draw on. I am Gottman trained.

The heart of my practice revolves around walking with others through difficult life transitions, finding strength in moments where we feel burdened and broken, as well as working through past traumatic experiences to find internal peace and freedom. No matter what walk of life, I look forward to assisting through your journey of healing and self-discovery.

I am a Licensed Processional Clinical Counselor who is trained in DBT, CBT, and DBT Prolonged Exposure. I also draw from humanistic, feminist, and interpersonal strategies. DBT utilizes mindfulness as the center and builds skills to increase effectiveness in communication, regulating emotions, and gaining skills to tolerate current emotions and experiences. My clinical interests include: depression, anxiety, school stress, parenting, self esteem, relationship concerns, and trauma.

Accepting new clients! I work with teens and adults navigating challenges in their lives, such as healing from difficult experiences, navigating family and relationship dynamics, communication and setting boundaries, managing overthinking, keeping up with high expectations, and navigating oppressive systems. Most of the individuals I work with have historically marginalized identities related to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and immigration backgrounds. As a result, we explore intergenerational trauma and resilience, historical traumas, cultural differences, and other aspects that shape your experiences.

We don't always get to choose what life brings us. I work to help clients positively adapt and grow from the circumstances that they are given. This is accomplished by teaming up with clients to develop healthy ways to work through difficult situations. My goal is to create serenity and harmony for individuals and within relationships through using a non-judgemental, proactive, and direct approach.

I am very concerned about people with anger management and domestic abuse issues. I provide individual and group therapy to help individuals avoid the tremendous potential costs that so frequently are associated with these problems. I direct a proven structured program that is both educational and therapeutic. I am the most experienced specialist in Minnesota for adult males with these concerns. I'm in the office afternoons and evenings, Monday through Thursdays. I urge you to find the courage to contact me if you are also concerned about excessive anger or abusive behavior.
