Sexual Abuse Therapists in Northfield, MN

I focus on clients navigating a difficult time in their lives, whether that is infertility, infidelity, divorce, or realizing that they have a history of spiritual trauma or sexual abuse to heal from. I have a particular affinity for people who are navigating a Dark Night of the Soul, sometimes thought of as an existential crisis. My ideal client is looking to heal and move through difficult times by exploring deeply into their issues, challenges, and traumas.

Immediate Openings. Are you feeling down, anxious, angry or unhappy? My philosophy is that "Life is too short" and for all the bad there is just as much good. Therapy helps one to start finding the good in life and making the necessary changes for that to happen. It is about learning new skills and trying on new ways of living. I feel that as a therapist I become a coach, cheerleader, supporter and confidant. You have already taken the hardest step and that is to admit that there is a problem and to seek help. I look forward to the Journey.

Ever feel like your emotions are running the show? Maybe you struggle with intense anger, overwhelming sadness, or crippling anxiety. Perhaps past experiences from your childhood are influencing how you show up in your relationships with friends, family, and partners. You've been in therapy before, and while it sometimes feels helpful to talk to someone, you still feel like life is a constant battle. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone! Many people experience emotional dysregulation and don't find the relief they are looking for in traditional therapy alone. The good news is, there IS hope, and there are more options!

You are feeling alone and overwhelmed. You are anxious and the negative thoughts in your head are becoming louder and more difficult to control. Your sleep is poor and when you wake you feel tired already. You want help from a holistic perspective. I will teach you how to manage your mind and your nervous system so that you can function better during the day and sleep well at night. I will help you heal the root causes of your anxiety. Your relationships and your health will improve. A "fresh look" look at your difficulties might bring hope into a situation that you have considered to be hopeless.

I have a deep passion for sitting with people during their darkest times to uncover their truths and strengths that lie within. We all need help along our journeys and it takes great courage to reach out. I see safety as key to healing and strive to provide that sense of safety to every client that I work with so that we are able to work towards solutions. Together, we will build more meaning, connection, intimacy, and hope in your life. I affirm the dignity, value, and worth of all clients and promote an atmosphere of openness, security, and respect.

By reading this, you're already taking a step toward what you want. Maybe this is your first time, or you've had some difficult experiences in the past. Maybe your experiences were helpful and you're ready to take another step. Therapy is about relationship - my first goal is to create a safe space, open to all, free from judgement, where you can first build safety and support, and then move into learning, change and growth. I work with your values and beliefs to improve self awareness, make the most of yourself and your life.

I focus on building a strong foundational relationship with clients, collaboratively developing self-awareness, mood-stabilizing skills and communication tools that allow for the safe reprocessing of difficult experiences and emotions. I work with people who have experienced a range of challenges, from difficulties with life adjustments to complicated trauma and loss. It is important to me that clients understand that difficult and traumatic experiences can arise from a seemingly “normal” childhood or life event. Therapeutic support and guidance for any destabilizing event or emotion is a valuable resource.

My practice is devoted to helping people feel calmer, lighter, and more at peace with their emotions. I help people understand themselves better and form more rewarding, less painful relationships with themselves and with others. We do this together within the context of a safe, therapeutic relationship where you can work though difficult feelings and experiences and practice new skills. I have been trained in a variety of approaches and draw upon them based on your specific needs and what I think may be most effective. I welcome ongoing feedback to make sure that our work together remains focused and satisfying.

I work primarily with adults that desire to live a life without symptoms of trauma, addiction, codependency, anxiety or depression. I believe healing is possible by reconnecting to your authentic self and rediscovering your beliefs & values. I have witnessed my clients achieve and maintain lasting change through the use of skills and changing unwanted behavior. Along the way, we make the healing process fun and easy. I gently challenge clients yet hold space for vulnerability and trial & error. I connect with clients by being authentic and encourage clients to be the same.

You're probably here because something in your life feels off or is no longer working for you. Maybe you've been pushing yourself to excel in every aspect of your life, but it feels like you're running on empty. Or perhaps you're struggling to connect with yourself and others, feeling alone and disconnected. If you're feeling a bit lost right now, you don't have to go through it by yourself. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, hurting, or shut down, together we can start carving out a path to a life that feels right for you.

Are you a person currently contemplating personal change? Have you ever thought of therapy as a means towards personal growth or self discovery? I'd like to compassionately guide/support you toward actualizing your best self. I want to help you break out of the rut, to meet goals and to gain confidence and strength to conquer whatever obstacle is in your way. I prefer to emphasize and build on positive influences. I prefer to work in the realm of solutions, and I can help with deep, meaningful, personal shifts that lead to change.
