If you've been affected by addiction or someone else's addiction/alcoholism... I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to learn new and healthy ways to help yourself and consequently, those you love. Are you stressed, lack trust, on edge? Have you tried over and over to manage the situation, but it isn't working? If you are ready to start the journey of understanding, acceptance, and work toward change where it's needed... I will partner with you and begin right where you are at with no judgment. I especially enjoy working with couples and individuals in early and long-term recovery.

Seeking out help can be a difficult decision. You want a therapist you feel comfortable with and can trust with your story. My approach to therapy is compassionate, empathetic, kind, and collaborative. My goal is for clients to feel safe, supported, heard, and understood. I work alongside you as you develop insight into your experiences. This insight can lead to feeling empowered to implement changes in your life. I believe that the therapeutic process of change includes the following: an understanding of feelings and behaviors, developing healthy coping skills, feeling connected to others, and maintaining balance and moderation in life.

I have experience in the treatment of substance abuse, also in the mental health issues that may contribute to substance abuse such as anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem or grief.

The world is a challenging place as we learn about - or experience - harmful events. Perhaps you have uncertainties in work, a relationship, or otherwise. I understand that coping with your own personal challenges can be daunting at times. I effectively use feedback, self-evaluating questions, and reflection -- leading to happiness and fulfillment. I also tell my clients that I might have certain insights by looking at patterns, behaviors, and habits they don't realize are present. It's important to me that new beginnings come from within and not from my direct advice or influence. Sessions via computer and phone are available.

*Currently seeing clients via teletherapy due to COVID-19* Parenting is HARD. Children are an emotional rollercoaster and it is a new challenge every day trying to figure out how to be "good enough" for them. Every step brings a continued feeling of not knowing. For many families, this can result parents in feeling down, anxious, exhausted, or irritable. Guilt can fall onto us because all these emotions are put on our children and partners. It can be lonely to feel this way about the joyous world of being a parent.

My ideal client is anyone who is experiencing distress - I am at my best when working with a wide range of people. I value hearing the stories of adolescents, adults, couples, and individuals of many backgrounds and with diverse stories. We may be able to work well together if you want help learning strategies to cope with stress and distress, taking control of your personal narrative and life story, and being prepared to have a mindful and active role in determining the course of your future.

Looking for a therapist can be hard, frustrating & reinforce our depression or anxiety. We see countless profiles & pictures of people we think may not understand what is going on in addition to what we are experiencing or already experienced. The profiles we do have the courage to click on may reduce our fears a little yet does not share much regarding if this will be a good fit. As a woman of color, who is married & a mom, I understand the struggles with transitions/adjustments, depression, anxiety & trauma. I would love to help you be seen & heard through our sessions & in your life.

My clients are working to become self-love warriors, truth-seekers, and aliveness-pursuers! If that sounds like your journey also, I can help. Maybe you can recall a past when you felt more alive, connected, grounded, lovable, and your needs were getting met. Maybe now your challenge is figuring out how to get back to that place. Or maybe you've never felt this way and you desperately want to learn how. Either way, I can help you!

Hello, thanks for taking the time to review my profile and congratulations on taking a step closer toward improving your health and well-being! Are you struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or some other mental illness? Failing to escape the uncompromising grip of addiction despite your best efforts? Lacking the healthy skills and effective strategies to successfully manage the demands of daily life? If you want to improve the quality of your life, but don't know how or where to begin the process, I welcome the opportunity to help you end your suffering and discover a better path forward.

We each have unique experiences, challenges, and strengths that shape how we move through the world. Whatever your daily challenges, silent struggles, and unseen battles are, I am committed to walking with you through life's journey. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to accompany you as you move forward towards becoming your best self. I believe my role as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to meet your unique goals. I take a systemic, emotionally focused, and attachment-based approach to therapy.

I am currently offering teletherapy to give support through these stressful times. It's easy to sign on and connect. From me, you can expect warmth and support, yet I will challenge you when needed. I value humor and strive to make the therapeutic experience one that is safe to explore and grow. I have 15+ years of experience helping preteens through adults with mood disorders, anxiety, life transitions (school, marriage, parenthood, retirement), trauma, grief, suicidal ideation and self-esteem. I am also available to process stress from Covid and social unrest. My goal is to provide you with support, insight, and inspiration.

Are there changes you would like to make in your life? Perhaps you would like to nurture a relationship, heal a trauma, recover from an addiction, or parent your children in a life-giving way. Perhaps you would like to ease your depression or reduce your anxiety. Maybe you have picked up a bad habit or two that seem to interfere with life rather than enhance it.

Therapy is a sacred, safe and healing space for one to engage in self-exploration and acceptance without judgment, criticism or guilt. I am passionate about working with individuals, couples and families and believe that having authentic and meaningful relationships are core to becoming & staying healthy individuals. I have 10 years of experience working with people struggling with disordered eating, anxiety, depression, trauma & all the different issues people face from age 12 and up. My goal is to help people find and use their voice, face their fears, and be honest with themselves.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by emotions, inadequate at work or in your relationships, or are struggling to find direction or purpose in your life. Parenting may, too frequently, leave you feeling depleted, anxious, or angry. Maybe a new job or relationship is creating doubts about your self-worth. Perhaps you have been under an unmanageable amount of stress for so long that you have started to feel hopeless and disengaged from your life. Facing these challenges can feel scary, and struggling with these scenarios can make you feel alone.

I can help you develop the healthiest lifestyle possible for You. Learn to live with calm and courage. Rather than the -anxiety makes you afraid of living and depression takes you out of living- lifestyle. I believe that optimum mental health is for everyone.

With a combination of humor, wisdom, metaphors and professional experience, I enjoy working with folks to help them live a more fulfilled life. I work together with my clients to create a safe environment, where they are encouraged to take risks and explore the challenges they are facing. My goal is to help clients understand and address the root causes of the issues they are facing, so problems do not continue to resurface. I enjoy working with adults and teenagers (16 years and older). My direct voice mail is: 763-234-3728.

*Current Availability - Schedule Online* Are you ready to turn the tables on change? To make change a choice, and something that you do for yourself, rather than something that happens to you? When you feel a greater sense of control and power in your life, change isn't nearly as scary. You can, and will, feel better about yourself and you'll experience more overall life happiness and satisfaction. Life will always challenge us with changes, especially it seems, when we least expect it. There is no shame in reaching out and asking for help and support in these trying times. Therapy may be just the partnership you are looking for.
