"If you are feeling stuck or worried about a loved one who is experiencing a behavioral health issue such as addiction, alcoholism, communication or relationship problems, I am here to help. I see individuals, couples and families who are in the midst of a relationship crisis, substance use disorder, mental health issues, parenting conflicts, "failure to launch" young adults and other issues that affect many families today. My approach is family systems based and my focus is to help the entire system heal. Whether it is a collaborative intervention or weekly therapy, I help provide the foundation and insight for long term change."

"Have you ever been completely listened to from the heart? Do you know how healing that experience can be? Most of the challenges people experience boil down to: I don't know who I am...I don't feel confident... I don't feel worthy. Let's work together to build your self-identity (so you feel fully at home in your own skin). Let's build your confidence and self-esteem. You can learn to love who you truly are! Let's increase your sense of self-worth and you can experience all that life has to offer."

"We provide testing for Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, and Gifted and Talented/Twice Exceptional. If you are wondering why your child is struggling in school, neuropsychological evaluation can be helpful in determining the cause of the struggle, clarifying whether a diagnosis is appropriate, and creating a thorough recommendation plan that will help him/her enjoy school more. At Minnesota Neuropsychology, we are dedicated to providing meaningful neuropsychological evaluations to address your specific questions. "

"I believe in an empathic approach to therapy. It is important to me to meet clients where they are at, using a strengths-based and nonjudgmental approach. I draw from a variety of therapy modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, illness management and recovery and dialectical behavioral therapy. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. I believe in providing a safe and welcoming environment that allows individuals to effectively manage their lives and reach their highest potential."

"I offer my clients a compassionate, creative, and collaborative approach in their healing work. I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and integrative therapies encouraging my clients to find meaning in their life's journey and struggles as well as find new ways to care for the self. Although I am a generalist when it comes to working with a variety of diverse clients and issues, I also believe strongly in the mind/body connection and help my clients find ways to reconnect and find balance in their lives. This is especially helpful when dealing with grief, relationship issues, life transitions, or trauma."

"I believe that authentic relationships form a foundation for healing, and I bring compassion, creativity, and curiosity to my work with kids. If your child is struggling or stuck, we can work together to create a path back to well-being. I see my role as a guide and collaborator, shining a light in the darkness and holding a safe space for healing. I help families embrace their strengths, make movement toward what works, encourage, support, and make meaning through hardship. "

"I help people overcome life’s challenges so that they can grow and find the happiness they desire. I have a long history of working with those struggling with addiction as well as concerns related to sex and intimacy. From a mental health perspective, I work with clients who have anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems and some personality disorders. "

"Beginning counseling for the first time can be frightening. The journey to emotional health takes courage. Sometimes you don't realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest challenges. Owning our own story and loving ourselves through that process is one of the bravest things that you will ever do. Your courageous journey in counseling is a way to reach personal goals, reduce suffering, and get more joy out of life. We have an unlimited capacity to heal ourselves, despite the pain we've suffered."

"I believe we all have the inner power and intuitive knowledge to change, but our intuition can get blocked when strong emotions or past events overwhelm us. Working to establish a partnership of genuineness, trust, and respect for this self-knowledge, I teach tools to calm anxieties, break through fears, renew hope, and increase self-understanding. Mindfulness, relaxation, and visual art techniques, as well as play therapy with children, are often part of this process."

"When life gets hard, we can find ourselves on autopilot, feeling alone while straining for connection, looking for someone we can trust. As a counselor and as a human, I passionately pursue these connections and help others achieve them as well. With curiosity and understanding, we can work together, reflecting and connecting to find a sense of meaning. Working toward this sense of meaning builds trust; building this trust helps us find hope."

"*I am currently accepting new clients* I work alongside people who are navigating the ups and downs of life, seeking healing from loss as well as traumatic experiences, and finding freedom in the recovery of their mental health. I believe therapy can be one of many powerful tools that allows us to integrate with our authentic self, reclaim our story, connect in a new or meaningful way, and experience a life worth living. "

"Life gets "lifey" sometimes and we can find ourselves needing extra help. Whether it's life transitions or something more, I am here to help you tackle the barriers that stand in your way of a happy and healthy life.

Over the past 15 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 also have extensive experience teaching, coaching and assisting teens in identifying and meeting their goals. "

"A trusting therapeutic relationship is the beginning of positive change. With time and effort, you can begin to look at concerns and feelings like shame, loneliness, anger, fear, and sadness that may have brought you to therapy in the first place. The theories I use to guide my practice are cognitive behavioral theory and attachment theory. Awareness of thoughts and feelings makes positive behavioral changes possible. Developing a trusting therapeutic relationship leads to opportunities to grow while strengthening your relationships and your sense of self. I look forward to beginning this exciting and fulfilling work with you!"

I have over 15 years of experience helping adults and adolescents move beyond anxiety, depression, trauma-related difficulties, relationship challenges, grief/loss, and stress. I have a specialty in women's mental health care (pre/postpartum anxiety, depression, and mood disorders) and also frequently work with men. I also have experience helping support couples with the transition to parenthood."
