Person-Centered Therapists in Golden Valley, MN

A client who would be a good fit who is an individual or family that want to go to therapy. I don't have preferences when it comes to ages and genders or sexuality. Although kids and teens have gravitated towards me because of my playful nature, and creativity in sessions. I find myself drawn to working with individuals who often people please, carry feelings of guilt, self doubt, and low self esteem. I enjoy watching others identify boundaries and help implement them. I work best with people who are open and curious in trying new things. Let collaborate and reach those goals!

As a seasoned psychotherapist, I specialize in providing compassionate support to mature teens through adults who are navigating the complexities of anxiety and depression, grief and loss. Whether you're a student dealing with not feeling good enough or an adult seeking healing from the throws of life, I will provide the empathy you deserve. My goal as your therapist is to provide the support, healing and resources you need in order to not just cope but to live a healthier holistic lifestyle.

You are the pilot in your life journey and deserve to be and feel respected and supported; which I pride myself on in my practice. I individualize all of my work and tailor it to your needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, phobias, ARFID, OCD, Emetophoia, and panic disorders. I am trained in ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), which is the leading treatment for anxiety, panic, OCD, and other disorders that benefit from ERP therapy. I also have training in executive functioning and adult ADHD treatment.

What do you do when you are spinning in circles and have no earthly idea where to begin? Is your relationship with those most important to you floundering? Do you struggle with feelings of acceptance, of yourself, by family members, by society? Do you struggle to believe the phrase, "You are enough!"? Regardless of whether it is due to trauma (developmental, attachment, PTSD), questioning gender identity, sexual identity and your relationships, ENM/Polyamorous relationships, Kink/BDSM, out-of-control sexual behaviors, or MAPs, we can work together to get you where you would like to be!

I believe that the foundation of growth begins within the relationship between individual and therapist. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is universal and is an essential part of our overall well-being. I celebrate the courage of individuals who take steps into healing by engaging in the therapeutic process to manifest the life they desire. I am passionate about working together to ensure that you become an expert on yourself and believe in your own insight, strength, and self awareness. I believe that humor and laughter bring out our authentic selves and utilize this philosophy in my work.

Scheduling individual clients only. I use a holistic and eclectic approach in therapy because I believe our mind, body, and environment impact our well-being. I want to truly learn about the life experience and driving forces for each person I work with. I specialize in relationships and trauma- childhood neglect or abuse, a family member’s death, high stress jobs (health care, first responders), infidelity and conflict, or abrupt ends or changes in relationships. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life or what to do with your relationships, it's to support you as you find a life that's fulfilling and meaningful to you.

Everyone's experiences and challenges are unique to them. I meet clients where they are at & believe we are all good people, doing the best we can with the circumstances we have. I will work with you to help identify nonhelpful coping strategies & support the development of new, more helpful ones. I am a registered play therapist & I will work with your child to resolve fears, worries, sadness, & build healthy esteem & assist you in providing on-going support for you and your child.

Welcome! I'm here to support my clients cope with difficult emotions such as anger, worry, and hopelessness. Often, these challenges greatly impact us, our relationships, as well as other critical aspects of life. I support my clients in this journey and walk alongside them as they discover their strengths and persevere, whether it is overcoming anxiety or healing from lived trauma. My approach is cognitive behavioral, with an emphasis on using compassion, strengths, and behavioral activation in order to help individuals recover, grow, and develop new ways of adapting to life’s many challenges.

I specialize in trauma and dealing small trauma to extreme trauma and everything in between. I work with LGBTQ+ clients who are depressed, anxious, traumatized, dealing with bullying, dealing with people who don't understand. I work with transgender individuals who are in any stage of their life. I work with parents. I am a supervisor who works with therapists who are pre-license and need to have supervision.
