"People usually come to therapy with a longing to be more strongly connected to those they love and to themselves. In therapy, people begin to notice and deconstruct old patterns that unknowingly create barriers to intimacy. It is also an opportunity to make important decisions about one's purpose in life, to prioritize and clarify work, love, parenting and creativity. There is often unknown or unfinished grief or loss that complicates and confuses people. I believe everyone has the capacity to change, to create a more fulfilling life if there is willingness to be open and vulnerable with yourself."

"Groups are on hold until further notice as of 3/01/20. When you are ready for change in yourself or your life, I want to help you achieve your goals. We will plan an effective direction for you. I emphasize identifying and building strengths as well as addressing problem resolution. My approach involves focus on the unique needs of each person or couple, which may include physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Therapeutic methods include cognitive-behavioral therapy, clinical hypnosis, relaxation/visualization techniques, self-image psychology, art therapy, philosophy, aromatherapy, journaling, and psychodynamic theory."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed by your child's anger, tearfulness, worry, or hyperactivity? Has your child been through a difficult experience or transition, and you want them to have a place to express what they are feeling? I seek to create a space in therapy where you and your family feel respected, supported, and understood."

"Are you ready to reclaim your wholeness, increase your resilience, and develop life-changing skills you can use on your own? I am a marriage and family therapist and certified art therapist passionate about the integration of mind, body, and spirit in mental health treatment. I believe in honoring the uniqueness of each person by tailoring treatment to meet YOUR specific needs. My approach is focused, creative, and non-judgmental. I strive to make each session together count. I will help you draw upon your strengths to overcome personal barriers to happiness and create more loving relationships."

"Change is a central experience in the human condition. Life has a way of presenting both the things we want and the things we don't want. Sometimes the unwanted shatters our hopes and expectations, like the loss of a loved one through death or divorce or illness, or the loss of a job, or a dream. My intention is to help you find a deeper awareness of yourself and your mission in your unfolding story. Guided by your pace, I seek to be a supportive but active presence as you follow your unique path into and through the changes life presents."

"Everyone gets stuck. My job is to help you see doors and windows where you once saw walls. People come to talk because they are looking to solve problems, to think about different ways to communicate, to find alternatives to frustration. Many come to talk about transitions or to better understand their relationships. Most just want things to be easier. They stay because things really do get better and because change is less daunting when talk therapy is added. The result of our collaboration: real solutions that fit you and your life."

"I have been in the field of mental health for 29 years. My primary specialties include anxiety, depression, and post-partum concerns, which is why I have developed a practice in collaboration with Catalyst Mental Health that is exclusively focused on telehealth. However, I am also trained in EMDR, Love and Logic Parenting, and I have expertise in chemical dependency as well. I works with individual adults, couples, adolescents and children as young as 9 years old. "

"We have a natural tendency to try to make meaning of our experiences. When we experience something that doesn't make sense, we can feel stuck, especially when old ways of coping aren't best serving us anymore."

"I conduct psychotherapy from a systems and relational standpoint, as I believe relationships hold the key to unlocking our personal problems. I strive to create a secure environment with which to explore each person's situation and to create a collaborating relationship with the patient. Together we work to understand how they got to where they are and how they may proceed differently. We examine their history, see how they cope with conflict and communicate their needs to others. We look to how they can come to feel more in charge of their life, feel more productive and happier."

"Therapy can help people deepen insight, recognize strengths and make intentional changes to live the lives they want. I work with individuals across the life span, adapting therapy to meet clients' values, goals, and lived experience. "

"Psychotherapy involves working together to build connections where safe communication can occur. Most of my patients seek a guide, confidant, teacher, or objective bystander who can help identify difficulties in relationships & devise strategies/build skills to help them cope with struggles in life. I work primarily w/ adolescents/young adults who struggle with "launching" into the adult world of school & work, with adults who have a hard time managing pain & chronic health problems, with people who have struggles related to sexual health, and with people experiencing grief & loss. Contact me directly via my office cell number at (612) 396-6949."

"I will work with you in a collaborative relationship to broaden your understanding of yourself and the things that are not working in your life. We will look at difficulties that you experience (such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, job stress, and general life dissatisfaction) and understand these concerns in the context of current circumstances as well as their origins. Through in-depth therapy you will gain insight into these problems in order to make different choices. We will work to illuminate patterns of behavior and belief systems that interfere with your current life, and help you to tolerate difficult feelings."

"My intention is to provide a safe, supportive environment within the therapeutic relationship. My philosophy is strengths-based and holistic: I believe people have the capacity for resilience, creativity and resourcefulness. My role is to help my clients get to that place of knowing this for themselves so they can move forward in their lives and thrive. I am trained in mindfulness-based-stress reduction, and I am a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach who has worked with a wide range of people on stress release, weight, exercise and nutrition. I am also a Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker. "

" It is common to experience stress and difficulty in everyday life. We may know exactly what the problem is, or we may be unaware of what is going on or how to make changes to resolve our difficulty. Coming into therapy can help us organize and understand what is happening in our lives. Therapy can also empower us to choose how we want to respond to our daily circumstances that fits with our authentic self. "

"I hope that when I work with people, what stands out is the honesty, creativity and hopefulness that I bring to the therapeutic relationship. What you are struggling with is undoubtedly confusing and complex and challenging. As a therapist, I know that it is my responsibility to stand with you, no matter what comes up."

"Whether you are looking to address stress and/or anxiety, heal from past trauma, or make shifts in your current approach to life, my intention is to help you live in greater alignment. I believe that life offers a full range of experiences including experiences we may identify as pleasant and those which seem less pleasant (often learning opportunities in disguise). It has been my experience that when we align with our truth and open up to all parts of ourselves as well as to all of our experiences, we can live life more fully with less fear and shame, perhaps grounding into our highest Self."

"I work with people who want to show up in the world and be embraced for ALL of who they are. Most of us have things that we keep hidden from others around us - locked away because we are worried that we are broken, weird, fearful of how we will be judged. The problem is, even when we are great at hiding - these things slowly but surely permeate our lives from the inside out. Everyone around you thinks you've got it all together, but on the inside - you know something is off, and you're ready to figure it out and do something different. You're ready to be honest and curious and open and make a change - to find YOUR courageous truth. "

"I am a visually impaired Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am trained and certified in Early Childhood Mental Health and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I believe that we are all created for relationships and the current world we live in fosters isolation and individuality. I seek to provide children, families, and adults effective mental health care that teaches them how to heal and recreate healthy relationships."

"I help women use the wisdom of their own bodies to heal from traumas large and small. I believe unrecognized trauma is the core and cause of much suffering women experience in daily life. I also believe, no matter your past experiences or your story, that you have the innate ability to feel whole again."

"Psychotherapy is something that happens between people...you and me. It is a process that I expertly and sensitively guide, but it is something that we experience together. Relationships, past and present, may be a source of pain, frustration, or fear...but they are also the key to unlocking your full potential. Together, we will work to alleviate your most pressing problems as well as to develop a fuller understanding of the deeper, underlying issues that keep you stuck in emotional and relational patterns that limit your capacity to more fully give and receive love."
