In Person Therapists in Minot, ND

If you are feeling stuck in unhappiness, overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life, or have been carrying a burden for too long, you are not alone. Therapy can help you heal from the past, feel more connected to the people around you, stop unwanted thoughts and find more enjoyment in your life. I help people overcome their past to be able to build better relationships, find their drive and live a more satisfied life.

The clients I work with have often experienced profound changes in their mood or behavior, suddenly or gradually. They don't feel like themselves. Their anxiety may not go away. They're stuck or simply not happy in their current life choices. I help clients identify unhealthy patterns and triggers to distress. In our time together, clients develop skills to interrupt unhelpful or unwanted patterns in thought, mood and behavior. My clients are often looking to improve relationships, work toward goals and reduce stress. They want to gain healthy coping skills and learn positive reframing to improve functioning and stability.

I provide client-centered therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based therapies. I provide interventions for individuals with perinatal mood disorders. I also provide Cognitive Processing Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT to assist individuals who have experienced trauma and PTSD. I believe that individuals know themselves best, and my goal is to meet clients where they’re at in their mental health journey and support their individual needs.

Do you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed? Do you feel isolated and alone despite trying so very hard to connect with people? Do you need something to change? All humans experience some form of struggle in their life. Many of us need help facing challenges in order to gain confidence, improve our self-worth and feel more fulfilled. Counseling is a great option to build a life that is more enjoyable, safe and happy. I specialize in trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, stress and relationship issues.

I focus on unresolved family of origin issues that typically result in the child never outgrowing appropriate insecurity. This then becomes inappropriate insecurity in adulthood which compromises the emotional quality of life in intimate relationships. This adult emotional insecurity manifests itself when a person unknowingly becomes excessively emotionally or physically dependent upon other human beings or activities for that emotional or physical nurturing. The loss of this nurturing will then trigger emotional stress. When this emotional stress becomes chronic, psychological and physiological problems can occur. I identify and teach my clients how to overcome this lifelong insecure thinking and behaving.

Welcome. Navigating the challenges of today's world can be hard to do alone. This journey can feel even more difficult when we are dealing with negative feelings and stressful events. I believe therapy is more than a place to talk about our feelings and experiences. Therapy should provide a warm and welcoming safe environment. It should be free of judgments and offer you the space to form a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship on your own terms. As a therapist, I strive to provide transparency and compassion in a setting that is never rushed and always client lead, via Telehealth.

I assist individuals and couples in overcoming life's challenges. Whether you're struggling with significant changes or are generally unhappy with your current direction, my client-centered approach prioritizes your needs and empowers you to reach your goals.

I have over 30 years experience providing counseling to individuals, families and couples with a variety of mental health issues. I specialize in helping families address issues that make it difficult for them to enjoy their relationships with each other. I have significant experience in helping people resolve trauma issues of abuse or grief, whether recent or past. My approach is supportive and solution focused.

If you are feeling stuck, ever found yourself telling others you feel "stuck," feel like you have tried therapy before, and nothing helped. If you have gone through a major life event: moved, relocated, had a baby, got married, in and out of relationships, struggling to communicate at work, school, or home. If you are realizing that old stuff from your past has surfaced, is starting to surface, and it's harder and harder to keep it all inside and feel tense inside. If you have realized you don't want your children to experience or be raised the way you have been.

I provide an empathetic and compassionate practice with an interest in supporting adults and adolescents across all genders in their mental health journey. I aim to foster a safe environment to help clients from different cultural backgrounds explore their emotions, beliefs, and experiences, whether that comes from a religious standpoint or a universal one.

There are many reasons why you may have decided to look for a therapist.

In my practice, I work with individuals, couples and families facing these and many other concerns. I regard therapy as a collaboration; not a one-size-fits-all formula. I work to provide space for your unique experience and seek to find what works for you.

I work with toddlers, children, adolescents, and adults up to age 40 working through trauma, anxiety, depression, perinatal mood disorders, and more. I enjoy creating therapeutic goals that are individualized to each client's unique situation to maximize our time together. I meet with individuals in person and via telehealth.

I enjoy walking beside children and their families who are motivated to see positive changes happen in their lives that are willing to put in the work to achieve that. I typically see children who are dealing with anxious, depressive, adjustment, and trauma disorders. I enjoy working with parents who would like to form stronger, healthier attachments with their children. When working with families, I enjoy helping parents and caregivers learn positive parenting skills to improve communication and connection with their children. I enjoy helping people learn that their emotions don't control them - they control their emotions.
