I have been a licensed psychologist for the past 28 years. I work at my private practice Live Well Therapy in Richfield, Minnesota. I am experienced in working with families, children, adolescents and adults with mental health issues, emotional regulation difficulties, and behavioral concerns. I also work with individuals who struggle with addiction, trauma, and sexuality issues. I provide psychological testing and evaluations including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity assessments. I am patient, client centered, and holistic in my approach with clients.

Are you concerned about your child or adolescent? Are they struggling with peer relationships, divorce, school difficulties, worry, sadness, or behavioral issues? Are you struggling with how to respond to and manage your child's behaviors and emotions? My gentle yet direct approach helps children identify feelings and challenges, to problem solve and find new, productive ways to cope. I collaborate with parents and families in a way that has a child feeling supported, understood and cared about. I truly enjoy being invited into a child's world, and helping them feel empowered and equipped to get through life's challenges.

Auralie particularly likes to work with disabled people, LGBTQIA2+ people, people who are chronically ill and people who are curious about the world but struggling to make sense of it.

I truly enjoy working with people who come to therapy to explore and heal their relationships with their bodies and mind, and I collaboratively work with my clients to help them decide on goals and focus. I strive to be a guide in helping each person use their own knowledge, wisdom, and connection to find hope, meaning, healing and behavioral change. While the length of time people are in therapy varies greatly, I generally see people for shorter-term courses of therapy, in blocks of 12-16 sessions followed by a break to maximize behavioral change and encourage self-direction in the process, though many people decide to continue on.

You’re probably on this page because you’re looking for change - maybe you’re stressed out, maybe you’re not feeling like yourself, or perhaps there’s a thought or two that you just can’t seem to shake. Fortunately, you’re already moving forward - as they say, action is the only solution to despair! Your challenges are unique but so are your strengths. I want to help you feel empowered, supported, and active as you work towards meaningful and lasting changes. I am fiercely optimistic about how therapy can help those willing to put in the work. Vulnerability and self-reflection can be difficult but the reward is incredible!

Everyone is molded from their experiences, perspectives, and identities which can shaped a sense of reality. Our racial identity, social class, sexuality, and ethnic backgrounds shapes us in developing wisdom/techniques of resiliency to endure distressing moments. These same experiences can become increasingly distressing which can lead us into believing unauthentic beliefs of who we really are. For healing to take place, a requirement of safety/security need to be present in order for authenticity to be formed. Often is the case where strength and growth is developed when faced with the discomforts of the past.

I have a passion for working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, and navigating the "deep, dark spaces" of life. I also focus on working with clients who have borderline personality disorder, and who feel life's ups and downs intensely. I work with adults of all ages, especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community, folks across the gender spectrum, and folks who have experienced religious trauma or spiritual abuse.

I often find myself working with clients who have a general feeling of being overwhelmed, lost, or confused about their lives. These feelings come from the constant changes and transitions we take as humans in our lives. As a therapist, I seek to help my clients feel comfortable, seen, understood, and empowered. I will work together with you to identify next steps and the strengths you have to achieve your goals.

Seeking therapy, whether it's your first time or returning, is a courageous step .The therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest tools we can develop for healing. I strive to create a non-judgmental, person-centered and compassionate space for all my clients. I believe everyone is an expert in their lives and I provide a space to help you better understand your emotions, relational patterns, life changes, and past and/or present trauma. I utilize evidenced based theories, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment therapy, EFFT and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

I believe that life can become overwhelming at times but that change is obtainable. I work in a collaborative format to help clients work towards improving daily life. I work with clients on a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, marital discord, and child behavioral issues.

Immediate evenings and weekend availability! Most of us are looking for peace, wellness, and a connection to others and and at times in our lives those things can feel so far away. Whether it be a recent loss, move, health diagnosis or child’s behavior, these changes can make us feel overwhelmed and disconnected. Through our time together I am confident you will be able to identify ways to navigate these changes and feel better. The therapeutic relationship is important and I intend to co-create a space that is comfortable and judgment free so that growth can happen. We might paint together or drink tea while we meet.

Hello and welcome! Change is extremely difficult, and I am glad you are taking this next step. Are you feeling stressed? Do you feel burnout or, “stuck?” Are you having a difficult time finding peace with the storm surrounding you? Do you want to find someone that just gets you? Prioritizing ourselves and our wellbeing takes incredible strength and bravery. It requires advocacy, vulnerability, and setting boundaries. During our sessions, we will make space for you, for what you are needing, and for safety to process and reflect.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here; seeking therapy takes courage. Do you feel disconnected from yourself or others and find yourself hiding the innermost parts of yourself? On the outside, you may appear you’ve got everything together, but on the inside you feel inadequate, not worthy, or unlovable. Have you found yourself tearing up at “inner child” TikToks? Are you feeling ready to dig into the “tough stuff” from your past? I can help.

I specialize in anger management and relationship development. I enjoy teaching clients how to better communicate their needs and how to enhance their ability to listen and hear the needs of others as they are presented. I am a solution focused therapist. I aim to assist clients in gaining the insights and skills necessary to bring their life experience within their relationships to a positive level. I also enjoy working with survivors of abuses such as emotional, physical or sexual.

Witnessing people create meaningful changes in their lives has been my greatest privilege, as a therapist. Strong, loving relationships, healthy family bonds, vocational success, healing from wounds of trauma, and reconnecting to a joyful participation in life are some of the experiences I have been able to share with clients. I hold a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy and bring my background in creative arts, trauma work, and rich life experience to help clients get past the barriers of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I am inspired and humbled by the stories of people's lives - and I'm here to help when life gets challenging. If you're in the midst of a life transition or are feeling directionless - we can explore purpose. If life seems too hectic or feels increasingly hopeless - we'll work together to identify the underlying issue and explore solutions. If it feels like you and your teenager are stuck or if the relationship between your spouse/partner is a source of stress - we can work on communication. When you’re feeling overwhelmed and aren't sure how things can change, I can help.
