Family Therapy in Maple Grove, MN

My goal is to assist you in learning life skills to thrive and find meaning, joy and love. Our clinic has a warm, supportive environment enabling you to learn more deeply how to live these skills and create a life that makes a "world of difference". We will work together holistically to emphasize your individual positive strengths drawn on for the healing process. These approaches work well for coordinated treatment with other medical providers and professionals (examples: MD's, psychiatrist, chiropractors, massage therapists).

Are you wondering how you ended up here? The bomb of an affair or the years of slowly growing apart can happen easier than we like to admit, and then we are stuck asking the foggy questions about what happened to our relationship. Hold hope in the possibility of experiencing one another freshly and finding safety in one another again! I also offer Christian counseling for those who desire it.

Stuck? Repeating the same non-helpful patterns? Change often begins when we feel really listened to and understood. Struggles get untangled as we tell our stories in a safe place. My approach is to give each client a safe and compassionate place to tell their story and look for new pathways together. Sometimes the hope of change seems almost impossible, but in more than a decade of private practice, I have seen so many couples and individuals restore their hope and find a healing path to a new way of living. I'd love to join you on that healing journey for a season. Come on in. I'm eager to hear your story.

Please note, I am not currently taking on any new clients and will likely not have openings until summer or fall 2024. Please email if you would like to be added to my waitlist. I enjoy working with individuals and families from all walks of life. I believe we all have a unique story and need a safe space in order to share and process that story. My passion is working with children, teens, and young adults, especially those who are often labeled as difficult, misguided, or troubled. I also love working with adults, especially those struggling with trauma backgrounds, attachment disruptions, and/or mental health challenges.

Immediate openings, in person and online accepted. Have you wanted to "act better" or "regulate," but also have an underlying fear that to do so, you need to lose your edge? The short answer is, you don't. The long answer: well, that's what I specialize in. My clients receive empathetic, thoughtful, and trauma-informed care rooted in self-empowerment.

Oftentimes we find ourselves stuck in patterns and cycles that we struggle to get out of, let alone have hope for to change. These patterns might be a well-rehearsed dance with another person or even a full cast of characters, or simply of our own internal world that ripples outward into our life. Through increased awareness of the dynamic between things within self and dynamics within relationships, we can disengage from the ineffective and instead move intentionally toward a more functional, fulfilling way of being.

We all struggle sometimes and feel overwhelmed. When people come to see me, they want help replacing the feeling of being overwhelmed with the belief that they can navigate their current situation and get to a better place. Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Relationship struggles, Addiction struggles, Parenting struggles, Infidelity, Broken dreams. If all it takes is a set of instructions that I can follow, it would be simple. But broken lives spring from deep feelings of inadequacy. Healing begins when we connect deeply with our true self and know we are loved just the way we are. Then we can be free to change and grow.

With over 27 years of experience, I help individuals overcome depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-worth, and life's complex challenges. I understand that seeking support can feel daunting, and I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment for you to share your story. Using proven techniques, I'll assist you toward new ways of thinking and acting, freeing you from limiting thought and behavioral patterns.

Beginning a therapeutic journey can be a stressful and uncomfortable situation. I get it, it is tough to be vulnerable, let alone with someone you don’t know yet! My main priority is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment in which your child can be vulnerable. The therapy space and therapeutic relationship are established to facilitate the trust required to share tough subjects. Upon establishing a therapeutic relationship, therapy becomes a creative, collaborative experience of us working together to find new ways to heal and grow.

My work with clients is guided by each client’s strengths, resilience, and values. Putting in the work of therapy can be challenging and scary, especially in the process of trying to understand where you may be stuck in life, experiencing of intrusive thoughts, feelings of possible guilt of past actions, or living in shame. I strive to provide a safe, encouraging, and nonjudgmental environment to create a place/space for clients to hopefully feel at ease, supported, and empowered.

Humor is one of my therapist superpowers. On the journey to greater emotional well-being, I want you to laugh, feel comfortable, and not take yourself too seriously. Seriously! Because when you're a parent worried about your child's peer relationships or your teen's behaviors or school performance, I know life can feel heavy. Even for adults dealing with typical life transitions, it can feel stressful and overwhelming. Whatever the challenge, I'm here for you. We will work together to regain the light-heartedness that makes life enjoyable.
