Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Prior Lake, MN

I work with clients across the lifespan, with the most experience with early adolescence to middle age. I also have experience working with individuals living with cognitive or physical disabilities, including autism.

Have you become bogged down by life's challenges, slowly strayed from your path, or become stuck in a pattern that isn't serving you? Everyday trials that result in loss of self-confidence, happiness, meaning, and resilience are the struggles I help with. I assist my clients by prioritizing their needs and empowering them to use their strengths to accomplish their goals. I provide an emotionally safe environment to help facilitate exploration of the past, create peace for the present, and hope for the future.

Prolonged periods of stress and anxiety often rob us of our vitality making life less colorful and vibrant, which leads to symptoms of depression. I work alongside clients to bring light into the many ways in which old habits of doing can so easily entangle and imprison us. I utilize an integrative approach to help clients break the cycle of those worries, ruminations, and overthinking that often lead us to feeling powerless and stuck. As part of the therapeutic process, clients will move from living life on “auto pilot” to renewing and recovering a deeper awareness of self, purpose, and intimate relationships.

Trauma and stress are not distributed fairly among us, but they are a part of life we all have to learn to navigate. While I can't say treatment of trauma - or any successful therapy - is fun, easy, or quick, if you are looking at Psychology Today profiles you are likely considering getting support and making some changes. That is an excellent first step! If you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships, feeling lost, burned out at work, or having difficulty understanding or moving past things that have happened in life, I hope you will consider therapy as an option to help move forward. Even short-term work may help.

What exactly IS trauma? Trauma is any experience that the person deems negative and continues to live in the shadow of the event(s). If you feel trapped, like the trauma is following you, within you, or pops up at random, I can help. I love helping people to get "unstuck," so that they are no longer being controlled by their past traumas. I offer two life-changing therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy). These therapies help clients transform themselves from symptomatic to symptom-free, giving people a sense of peace, safety and the freedom to truly live life.

Have you experienced moments of anxiety and depression and don’t know why? Are you feeling stuck in life? Are you asking yourself “now what?” and wondering what life moving forward will look like? Do you have moments of feeling happy/joyful/excited and also have moments of sadness/guilt/frustration/confusion? Big life changes, both positive (such as retirement, becoming a new parent, marriage, etc.) and challenging (such as divorce, grieving the death of a loved one, receiving a life changing diagnosis, etc.), can bring a wide range of thoughts and feelings about what the change means for you and your life moving forward.

Ideally, I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds and experiences. I like to follow a team approach where we work together to help you become the best version of you! I appreciate feedback and insight into your unique situation and input on what is helpful/not helpful in the therapy approach. I love working from a solution and client centered approach where we can identify common goals and work together to help you meet them. Ideally, my clients are those who want to become the best version of themselves, who want to understand themselves more holistically for their own well-being and are willing to do the work to get there.

Accepting new clients via Telehealth. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 17 years. During that time, I have repeatedly observed that each client is unique, and brings their own reasons for seeking therapy. Therefore, my challenge as a therapist is to create a different psychotherapy experience for each client. The research is clear, the most curative aspect of therapy is the relationship. I focus on connecting with a person where they are. Through new skills and insight, I help to rediscover one's authentic way of being in the world. Improved well-being comes from better care for wounded aspects of ourselves.
