Person-Centered Therapists in Edina, MN
I am an EMDR Level 1 trained therapist along with working from a person centered, CBT and systemic approach to therapy.

Clients have benefitted from increased mood regulation, ability to cope mental health symptoms, and the ability to manage interpersonal relationships. Clients develop skills to view their current circumstances from various perspectives. Supporting the client with building a life worth living and supporting their journey is a shared goal for clients and myself within the therapeutic relationship. I am also a board approved supervisor with the MN Board of Behavioral Health

I offer an interpersonal, warm, person-centered approach that helps one feels safe and comfortable.
Life is hard and often not fair at times. We seek therapy to feel heard, validated and find ways to move through our pain. I work with a broad range of individuals, couple's and families. My passion is helping those with relational issues, developmental trauma, substance use as well as eating disorders. I will work with individuals (13+). I love working with transplants as I understand the complexities of moving to another part of the country and not knowing the culture. My goal is to help you find yourself, that internal voice that tells you, "you are worthy, you are enough."

I approach therapy from a person centered foundation.
My approach is holistic, person-centered, and trauma-informed, and based in talk-therapy. I work with adults, children/teens and families with a range of mental health issues, with a special interest in working with those who suffer from chronic and complex conditions, including PANS/PANDAS, Lyme disease, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). I also support families who are navigating their child’s diagnosis within the school setting, particularly with IEPs and 504 plans. With a deep appreciation for functional medicine, I believe that health is multifactorial, and aim to go beyond the diagnoses of her patients.

I believe in working with individuals at their own pace and comfort with a trauma-informed and person-centered approach.
Beginning the process of self discovery can be overwhelming, making life changes can be equally challenging. My aim is to provide a safe space for you to cultivate greater self-understanding, compassion for yourself, and your ability to navigate life’s experiences. I am EMDR trained.

I use an Integrative approach combining Skills Based Learning, Trauma Informed and Person-Centered Care.
I strive towards a welcoming, and non-judgmental environment. I understand that life events, addiction, and mental health, often pull us away from who we want to be. Along with how maladaptive coping, family discord, community violence, barriers to care, and other environmental and developmental stressors affect one’s physical and mental health.

My approach to therapy is a combination of Person-Centered therapy and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT).
I have firsthand experience with how nerve-wracking it can be to begin therapy, whether it is for the first time or with a new therapist. I prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment for clients. I believe that the depth of healing that is possible through therapy makes it a risk worth taking, but the approach and temperament of the therapist is undeniably important. That is why I strive to provide each client with the individualized support they need to make the changes they want to make in their life. With the proper support and resources, I believe that every person can seek the healing they desire.

Now accepting new clients! I believe the road to healing begins with a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, trust, and unconditional positive regard. Using person centered approaches, I guide clients towards exploring strengths and values to help frame their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that focuses on their proven resilience and empowers clients to live their most authentic lives. My greatest reward as a therapist is witnessing the courage and vulnerability clients demonstrate in taking steps to transform their lives by using healthy coping mechanisms, new forms of communication, and CBT skills.

On the surface, you’re the picture of success—polished, driven, enviable. Your resume reads like a “how-to” guide on acing life, and those around you probably see you as a model of discipline and achievement. But deep down, there's a different story. You feel like you’re one misstep away from being unmasked as an imposter or, worse, a failure. The perfectionism that once fueled you now feels like a relentless critic, and that ever-present pressure to stay on top of things is starting to drain your spark. The more you push, the more you feel stuck in a never-ending battle with yourself.
