Sexual Addiction Therapists in Roseville, MN

I see clients in California and MN for telehealth psychotherapy. In my practice, I help people overcome their personal obstacles to change and get unstuck. Together, we identify those issues which we can change and those that we can accept. Over the past 30 years, I have helped people create healthy movement in their lives and to develop a balanced design for living that can serve as a foundation for years to come. I strive to provide an atmosphere that is respectful and safe. It is very important to me that clients know that they have a voice in the treatment process so that the treatment is individualized to meet their needs.

I believe in the inherent glory, beauty, and strength within each individual. While this may sound idealistic, it's undeniable that our lives often encompass brokenness, pain, darkness, and shame, which can obscure our true essence. My mission is to guide you through understanding your personal narrative or "mythos" that has sculpted your identity. This involves exploring your self-perception, spiritual beliefs, and interactions with the world. I am committed to journeying with you through the depths of pain and darkness to uncover the profound truth of our existence - that we are intimately known and cherished by God.

As men, therapy is often perceived as weak, emasculating, soft, or unnecessary. We often feel pressure from family and employers that continues to mount and build over time. We notice our behaviors changing while the latent emotions, pressure, and stress begin to build. Shame, fear, and anger build and become unmanageable. Substance use or compulsive behaviors begin to surface without us recognizing it and evolve in to a inescapable cycle.

With over 30 years in holistic psychotherapy, consulting, and education, I craft interventions to meet your goals while honoring your strengths. I lead training for mental health professionals, retreats, and men's groups. The ethos of my Authentic Manhood Programs is that every man can lead a fulfilling life. I provide tools for personal transformation through group work, individual therapy, and experiential learning. My programs develop mature, responsible manhood by focusing on holistic approaches and honoring each man's journey. Regardless of what led you to me, let's navigate blockages and embrace authentic living together.

Not currently accepting new clients.

I see individuals and couples. One of my strengths as a therapist is working respectfully with men who would rather not be in therapy. I understand why many men are skeptical about therapy, or uncomfortable talking about feelings, and I do not get judgmental or impatient about this. Men who are concerned that in couple therapy they might be ganged up on and blamed will find that I don't this, to them or their partner. And of course, I also enjoy working with women, and with men who are comfortable with therapy!

I work with teens, adults, and families who are facing challenges associated with emotional wellness who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, trauma, or other issues that are interfering with satisfaction and enjoyment in life. I work with patients as a collaborative, supportive partner to improve mental health and overall well being. My therapeutic approaches integrate cognitive, behavioral, and insight focused therapies. I provide counseling care to individuals, couples, and families in a safe environment. I treat the whole person - emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, & families to help them cultivate a deeper self-awareness, discover new ways of expression, transform dysfunctional patterns, have more satisfying relationships and ensue a more meaningful life. Research has shown having purpose and meaning in life increases overall wellbeing and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, enhances resiliency and self-esteem, and decreases the chances of depression.

Emotional health doesn’t happen by chance. It is a commitment to a better future which you deserve. During your initial visit, we will begin our therapeutic relationship and discuss your short-and long-term goals for therapy. Whether you are interested in a few sessions to deal with current life stressors or seeking long-term therapy to overcome past trauma, we will create a treatment plan that will help you live a more fulfilling life. I take a collaborative approach where you determine your needs and we work together to address the issues that brought you to therapy while identifying strategies to assist in the healing process.

Immediate Openings w/ other providers at this clinic. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, accepting, and open environment for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions without judgement. I seek to understand each individual's goals for therapy, and help them to build upon their skills and knowledge to achieve a state of healing and growth. Life presents us with a number of challenges, and I view the therapeutic relationship as powerful alliance in assisting clients in navigating through these transitions. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, and I provide both individual and couples therapy.

I specialize in relationships! I have been a therapist for over fifteen years and continue to learn everyday. I believe therapy is more than simply listening. I will actively listen, reflect, and challenge you, your partnership, or your family to grow. I have a lot of experience helping parents who are concerned about their adult children who are struggling with mental illness and/or addiction. I am also trained in ART which helps people heal from traumatic experiences using bilateral eye movements. I am a systemic thinker and approach my work through a social justice lens.
