Emotionally Focused Therapists in Minnetonka, MN

Accepting New Clients! People often hold their pain inside, perhaps fearing they will burden others or not get the support they need. I can help by providing a space in which you can express yourself freely. In my experience, opening up emotionally to access the core of pain is where lasting, transformative change takes place. Thus, I am committed to providing an environment in which you feel free to express your feelings, no matter how difficult, in order to lead a fuller, richer life.

Are you feeling isolated and alone, despite being in a relationship and having friends? When you look back on past relationships, do you see a pattern of tumultuous, toxic or one-sided relationships? Maybe these relationships are even causing feelings of depression or anxiety. I'm here to help you work through these feelings and help you deepen your connections with others. Through therapy we can help you set and follow-through with boundaries, increase self-esteem, develop better communication skills, ease your anxiety and depression symptoms, and increase your satisfaction in relationships with loved ones.

Life is complex and often leaves us struggling with transitions, feeling anxious and/or depressed and searching for relief. Life after any loss can feel confusing, without direction, hopeless, full of regret or in some cases filled with relief. I believe listening to you and receiving your story with compassion, will offer healing, hope, and an opportunity for positive change. I endeavor to receive and hold your pain, sadness, anger, or other emotions with grace, while supporting you as you move toward positive change and renewed well-being.

Accepting New Clients! For whatever brings you to therapy, I will foster a safe and open space that provides support and validation while being a non-judgmental witness to your personal story. Working collaboratively, we will create and work towards therapeutic goals through the exploration of past and current experiences and how they have built beliefs, making connections from past and present. As we explore these connections, we will work to identify how they create negative or unrealistic core beliefs, while instilling more helpful and positive ones that can lead to greater overall wellbeing and a more positive sense of self.

Relationships can be challenging and have many issues in families, young and old, couple relationships and marriages, new and longevity, and teenagers and parents or teenagers and peers. My passion is helping explore these relationships and how they affect our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. You may feel stuck, unhappy, hurt, lost, or confused in your relationships or want more guidance on specific issues. We will explore together to understand and learn to love more of who you are and those relationships surrounding you.

Immediate Openings w/ other providers at this clinic. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, accepting, and open environment for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions without judgement. I seek to understand each individual's goals for therapy, and help them to build upon their skills and knowledge to achieve a state of healing and growth. Life presents us with a number of challenges, and I view the therapeutic relationship as powerful alliance in assisting clients in navigating through these transitions. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, and I provide both individual and couples therapy.

I have the most experience helping those who are struggling with grief, trauma, betrayal, and anxiety and depression. However, I am open to any client who feels they need a unique approach to care.

The most common feedback I get from clients is that they can tell that I love what I do. They are so right! I believe it is a strength, not a deficit, to reach out to someone for help and support. Whether it's acute trauma, behavioral issues, or adjustment to difficult life circumstances, being heard and supported in a therapeutic setting can make a world of difference. My approach with clients is to meet them where they are, determine where they want to be, and to be an empathic witness for them in their healing journey.
