Therapists in Lauderdale, MN

Immediate Openings for general mental health therapy and/or substance use counseling. My area of expertise is in recovery from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues.

You are the expert on yourself and I feel that on a journey together, using my clinical expertise, we can better align your behaviors with your values.

I work with adult and adolescent clients who are experiencing difficulty in managing anxiety, anger, trauma, depression and relationship-based concerns. I invite you to consider the idea that you are the author and director of your thoughts and emotional responses. Put differently, you have within you the power to rewrite the "script" on how you see yourself and the role that you play in your life, regardless of what you may have experienced in your past. In our shared journey, I hope to help you feel more empowered as an active agent of change in responding to suffering, depression, anxiety and trauma.

Clients I work with often struggle with negative self-talk, unhealthy emotional responses and relational difficulties, to name a few. Clients need someone who is willing to listen in an attentive, empathic, nonjudgmental, manner. Oftentimes, clients are looking for someone to empathize with their feelings and experiences while gently encouraging insight. Clients tend to want a collaborative approach where their views are respected and honored.

Life can often feel overwhelming and exhausting, with relentless pressures and uncertainties leading to mental, emotional, and physical strain. Having personally faced homelessness, addiction, and redemption, I understand these struggles deeply and am committed to guiding others from despair to healing and renewal. As a therapist, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my journey and 13 years of sobriety. I believe in keeping things real and value honest, direct communication. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a commitment to helping you find your path forward. I work with individuals 13+, couples and families.
