Therapists for Teens in 55109

I am a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor with 37 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My training and practice developmental path as a Clinical Psychologist has evolved in some very distinct and unique directions over the course of my career, much like the many unique developmental paths – sometime divergent, sometimes related, always connected - of the individuals I have had the privilege to serve.

Hello! As a psychotherapist, I will strive to connect with you, support you, and help you identify and achieve your goals. Therapy can be as simple as learning new tools, or it can be a more complex and deeper process. For example, anxiety and depression can be indicators of deeper wounds or that a person has gone off course in some way. In either case, working with me is a dance between treating problems and building on strengths. Whatever the nature of your therapy, I believe everyone has the power to heal, grow, and reach their full potential emotionally, intellectually and physically.
