Trauma Focused Therapists in Rochester, MN

I enjoy working with many types of people. Whether they're new to therapy, have seen someone before, or maybe even had a bad therapeutic experience elsewhere, I work hard to assist people in reaching their goals. It can be difficult for some clients to identify what they want to change, and benefit from exploring options.

It's another day of the same thing, same unwanted negative self-talk, another day of what if's or what's next, and you hate the thought of the next day being a repeat yet the cycle continues anyways. Stuck. Burnt out. Drained in every sense of the word. It's gotten to be too much and you're sure you want more out of your life than this. I help individuals 16 and up who feel stuck in their unhelpful thinking patterns and are looking for a change. I also see individuals with trauma utilizing Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) with eye movements and limited talking to erase and replace distressful images and sensations.

Hi and Welcome! Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in need of support? Maybe you’re finding it difficult to resolve conflict with others and manage and regulate your emotions when you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious. Maybe you’re currently at a point in your life where you’ve experienced a life changing event or going through a transition. Relationships, communication, and life in general can be extremely challenging and overwhelming. I want you to know that you don’t have to deal with things on your own. I am here to help and would love the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of Minnesota. My ideal client is one who is ready to share their experiences and work together to collaboratively create positive change in their life. I most enjoy working with adults experiencing a variety of life stressors and mental health challenges, with the goal of learning to manage and overcome your personal challenges and creating the life you desire.

Sometimes life can be really hard and make us feel like the ground underneath our feet has shifted - it can be difficult to find stability or a sense of safety again. At other times, we find ourselves struggling to navigate conflict in relationships or to believe in ourselves and take steps forward to reach our dreams. If you've experienced any of these things, you're not alone, and if you desire to take steps forward towards healing and a bright, beautiful future, I would love to support you.

I am most fulfilled when working with people who have experienced trauma and are struggling to participate in their life. This may be as simple as feeling chronically dissatisfied with daily happenings, or it could mean going through a painful transition, such as divorce or the passing of someone close to you. I love seeing how change in perspective or adding something simple can have a profound change in how someone experiences life. Those who have the best outcomes are willing to throw themselves into this experience, stand in their current Truth, and dare to dream of something better for themselves.

We all are born with strength, beauty, and a great capacity for joy. However, most of us experience challenges in life that can make it difficult for these qualities to shine. Many of my clients experience life as overwhelming and want more peace and joy. Some struggle with relationships, work, and/or school; others have physical health issues; and many have tried therapy before but did not find healing. All want a better life filled with contentment, happiness, and peace; they want to live life more fully to realize their inherent value. I offer experience and tools like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy to provide deep healing.

Life presents many different challenges. Sometimes the weight of it is too much to carry alone. I want to help you find the help and strength you need. I provide therapeutic support for children, adolescents, and adults. Using an integrative approach to address your specific needs, I want to work together with you to achieve the goals and freedom you seek. I work primarily from a child-centered play therapy approach with children, and person-centered approach with adults.

I work with Adults, Seniors, and Past/Current Emergency Services and Military as well as their families. Presenting problems I deal with most include: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety/Phobias, Depression, Military/Family Life Issues, Anger Management, and struggles with the principles and commands of Christian scripture. I offer a variety of evidenced-based treatment modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), exposure therapy, and other trauma therapies.

Welcome, come as you are. Balancing all of the things we have to shoulder in modern life is not easy- It can help to have a non-judgmental space to process your thoughts and emotions. My practice is about helping you get to the root of the problem. Sometimes people start therapy to feel less anxious, more fulfilled in life, to figure out who they are and what they want, feel successful in relationships, or because they've experienced trauma or loss. These are things we can work on together, and it's possible to feel better!

Services are respectful, personalized for each individual/couple/family and are evidenced-based.

Finding a therapist can be a difficult task that can take a few "tries" before finding a person you feel comfortable with. A therapist should be someone you feel a connection with and believe will fit your personality. As a therapist, I utilize not only my educational experience in this field but also my life experience with mental health difficulties. I can work with individuals facing difficult life stressors and/or mental health disorders that impair life functioning. I can provide faith-based services for those seeking spiritual guidance as well.

Whether clients are working through current or past struggles, providing an environment conducive to healing and promoting the development of lifelong skills is my priority. This is accomplished by utilizing multiple modalities. My primary goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment structured around the client and their goals.

I work with individual adults (18+). As an MFT I often take a relational approach even in individual sessions as external factors often play a role in mental health. I work with most diagnoses other than addictions.

My approach to the therapeutic space is through a validating, supportive, holistic framework to explore the challenges, concerns, and questions that arise in your journey. There are many broken and harmful systems in place that impact your well-being. Difficulties with your mental wellness are not inherently parts of you that are broken or wrong. Let’s explore where we can make changes in your life to enhance your mental well-being and bring more harmony and meaning to you.
