There are times in everyone's life when we feel stuck, unsure, or worried about what we need to do to get our life moving forward in a positive direction. These are the moments when a therapist can support, encourage, or even carefully confront you to take the next steps on your life journey. I work with clients to create an emotionally safe environment in which to explore your options and help you draw upon your inner resources to regain balance, energy, and focus.

Life is everchanging. My clients are experiencing challenges that require them to change in order to go forward. Some clients are interested in dreams and personal growth over time. Others want some immediate support to help them sort out the difficulties they currently face: whether it be the loss of a relationship, a career, a difficult illness, or some other major change in one's orientation to life. I have a depth and breadth of experience working with people of all stripes and in both law and social work: that is, people who have been stuck in some very difficult places. I value individuality and wholeness--not perfection.

Their goals involve gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and building resilience to navigate life's ups and downs. They want to break free from negative thought patterns, improve and their self-esteem.

Telehealth only (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, and FL). Perhaps, you're a highly sensitive person, high achiever, people pleaser, or perfectionist. You're going through the motions of life and lacking joy. The negative self-talk and lack of confidence has increased. You've done a lot of reflecting and want to make changes. Past trauma may be surfacing as well and asking to finally be acknowledged and resolved. You deserve to feel better, heal, and have a joyful life. You can have truly meaningful connections, live a purposeful life, and be free from the grip of doubts, fears, and crippling emotions. You don't need to go this alone.

Whether you are wanting to work on self-worth, gain better coping strategies, or just be heard; I am here to help. I wholeheartedly believe that therapy begins with simply a willingness to improve ourselves. There is no such thing as perfection, but there is such a thing as progress and self-awareness. The best part about therapy is being able to look back at where you began and see just how far you have come.

The thought about talking to a stranger about what’s going on is terrifying. When the process involves an honest conversation about symptoms, family problems, and addiction or other “shameful” family secrets, it can keep anyone from healing. You were taught to keep it to yourself and not cause trouble. To not air family secrets and that emotions are dramatic and useless. Especially the biggest of all- grief. There is nobody that gets to escape grief in this process. It's a myth that any of it has to be painful or overwhelming. And struggling with feelings or needing to heal doesn't make you weak.Nobody taught you how to do this.
