HealthPartners of MN and WI Therapists in New Brighton, MN

Are you facing a challenge threatening to steal your joy and peace? You may be constantly disappointed in yourself, feel guilty or overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, procrastinate, can't sleep or constantly feel fatigued. Maybe you’re a couple rehearsing the same argument over and over, a person who's often disappointed in their relationships or someone who went through a stressful, traumatic or tragic event making life too difficult. Maybe it's hard helping your child who's often tearful, worried or sad, frequently has melt-downs, trouble getting along with others or lying?

I am passionate about helping you overcome the suffering that comes from your past. You deserve to be able to lay your burdens down at the cross and let go of unnecessary guilt, shame, and fear that has bound you. You are designed to connect with other people and receive hope. I know trauma and suffering are a part of so many stories, which may be what led you to bravely seek help today. You deserve to be the author of your own life again; to write new chapters that are not defined by your past or the hurt and suffering that lies behind you. Your story isn’t over, and it’s never too late to start feeling truly healthy and empowered.

Initiating therapy together is a courageous act of advocacy, a transformative step towards healing and growth in your relationship. It's a profound choice that honors your past and unlocks pathways to more fulfilling ways of navigating life’s challenges. Whether you're facing concerns around your relationships, sexuality and intimacy, parenting, communication, or conflict resolution, my goal is to provide a space where you can be seen, heard, and understood. I welcome all family structures and partnerships, including polyamorous, LGBTQIA+, and interracial relationships, supporting you in finding joy, wellness, and balance.

I have been practicing therapy in various settings since 2013. I enjoy working with adults, older-adults and have a specific passion for helping emerging adults. In therapy, I engage with my clients through curiosity, creativity, humor, empathy and collaboration. I also emphasize skills-building, value-guided behaviors, and mindfulness as a means to encourage and support my clients as they identify their path in life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of life? Maybe you are a woman who is struggling with anxiety and stress. Or maybe you are a man who does not know how to communicate with those close to you. Or perhaps you are a teen who is struggling with boundaries with your peers or conflict with your family. Whatever you are challenged by or struggling with, having someone come alongside you to navigate through them will help you in finding understanding and working towards healing and change.

Living in hell? I am here to help. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or BPD, I may be a great fit for you. I provide skills to alleviate symptoms like suicidality, self-harm, emotion dysregulation, relationship problems, sleep disturbances, and feeling out of control. If you are diagnosed with a medical condition, have cognitive impairment, or are a caregiver, I also may be a great fit. I find value in supporting clients and their families through life-changing medical events or diagnoses, end-of-life care, and disability. Let's work together to help you move through and out of hell.

If you are looking for a therapist who is present, genuine, and offers a caring and therapeutic space, then we might be a match. I love working with clients who are brand new to therapy and might feel a bit nervous. And clients who have been in therapy previously and may already know what they want out of the experience. Wherever you are on your journey, my mission is to meet you right where you are and walk alongside you to achieve the goals and dreams you have, or perhaps work to develop them altogether. I am also trained in Brainspotting which can be especially powerful for clients with a history of trauma.

“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.” I am a therapist for the weirdos and misfits, those who feel they don’t quite belong. Weird is a good word around here! I work with folks of all genders to explore identity, stories, and what it all means. I’m a therapist for artists and artisans, creatives, and highly sensitive people. I work alongside you to uncover the things that hold us back, keep us stuck, and to tap into the good enoughness that is inherent to all of us.In our work together, you get to do some deep thinking and ask big questions.

I specialize in working with women in their 20s-40s who are navigating major life transitions, processing grief and loss, or experiencing anxiety. I am experienced in working with clients navigating religious trauma, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. I enjoy working with folks in the helping professions (teachers, nurses, physician's assistants, doctors, etc) and with people who identify as highly sensitive. I also have extensive training in peripartum and postpartum mental health and love supporting expecting and new parents of all genders!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been working in the field of psychology for 20+ years. I enjoy providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I utilize Experiential Play Therapy to help children recover from trauma and abuse as well as for children experiencing life stressors such as divorce and difficulties at school. I also practice Filial Therapy to strengthen parent-child relationships and reduce difficult behavior such as tantrums and defiance. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing to address symptoms of trauma such as flashbacks, avoidance, anxiety, depression, self-harm, etc.

I truly enjoy working with adults who have a desire to understand their mental health and who are striving to find balance in their lives.

I work with adolescents and adults as a collaborative, supportive partner to improve mental health and overall wellbeing. My therapeutic approaches integrate cognitive, behavioral, and insight-focused strategies. This warm and personal style helps clients work through ingrained and unhealthy patterns that keep them stuck in emotional distress and unfulfilling relationships. I have a mindful and holistic perspective, and emphasize integrating mind, body, and spirit in healing. I address many presenting issues in addition to welcoming concerns about physical and mental health. I am trained in clinical hypnosis, and enjoy working creatively to find effective solutions to inspire lasting change.

Have you been feeling down? Like something is off? Are you at a transition point in your life? Are you struggling with a relationship? You've made it this far, why not give counseling a try? For many people it is the first step in changing behaviors and patterns that have led to distress and relational challenges. Together, we’ll explore what might be getting in your way, and identify strategies that you can use to feel better. Therapy can also be a great opportunity to explore questions related to meaning and purpose in life and in work, as well as personal and professional identity development.

In my sessions, I am intentional about offering you a safe space while I be the human who listens with genuine curiosity. I want to walk this unpredictable journey of life alongside you. Life is full of moments, some are joyful, others are depressing and everything in between. All these moments are worth being seen, you are worth being seen and heard. Come in and let us do this life thing together!

I am a dedicated therapist who provides empathy, compassion, and humor in individual therapy sessions for children, teenagers, and young adults. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma that arises as depression, anxiety, and behavior difficulties. Childhood experiences often continue to influence our lives as we transition into adolescence and adulthood. Clients that I work with tend to have difficulties with asserting boundaries, experience low self-esteem, adversity to stress, and perfectionistic tendencies. I welcome you to give space for you or your child to process life experiences.

Being a healthy, balanced individual means you are caring for all parts of yourself: mental health, physical health, relational health, emotional health, etc. All the parts of you matter. Who we are as a person is comprised of everything we have seen, felt, believed, & experienced, as well as what we have taken in from our family's experiences and those around us. It is all part of your individual story and your story matters. I enjoy working with individuals who are striving to gain insight into themselves, their communities, and learn ways to manage and decrease presenting symptoms.
