Therapists in Eden Prairie, MN

Eden Therapy Center, a place for new beginnings, is a holistically oriented mental health clinic where the Integrative Behavioral Health Model is the guideline for client care. This model respectfully incorporates the biochemistry of the body, the psychology of the mind, and the effervescence of the spirit. Employed professionals in the Mental Health and complementary wellness fields such as Massage Therapy & Ayurvedic medicine work together using evidence-based practices and consultation among each other that helps clients move toward their best selves and away from decades of pain whether it shows up as depression, anxiety, PTSD.

I believe that we are all doing the best we can with what we have and that we all have the capacity for change. I consider distress to be a normal part of being human rather than an abnormality, so my work focuses on improving functioning, coping skills, and wellbeing instead of getting rid of problems. Challenges, pain and discomfort, and fear, among other things, are present in all our lives; it is how we think about and work with these experiences that matters most. I am passionate about psychological and physical health as well as bringing clients closer to their personal health goals.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing individual therapy for adults as well as couples and families. My areas of focus are with past traumas, abuse, addictions, eating disorders, body image concerns, self-harming behaviors, abandonment, Bipolar Disorder, obsessive compulsive disorders, anxiety, and loss. My other areas of concentration are marriage counseling, the challenges of parenting, sibling conflicts, infidelity, and conflict resolution skills.

I specialize in Borderline Personality Disorder and other Cluster B personality Disorder and mood disorder. Clients who benefit most from therapy sessions with me are often experiencing feelings of low self-worth, suicidal ideation, depression, social isolation, restlessness, and sometimes describe "wanting to feel normal again," "feeling crazy" or have feelings that they are so anxious that they feel paralyzed and can't be present when they are doing an enjoyable activity, or when they need to focus on something important but can't bring themselves to start the next activity because of their worry.

Sometimes the challenges and conflicts in our lives cause more stress than is comfortable handling by ourselves. Whether you feel overwhelmed by personal struggles, relationship issues, or the world in general, there is relief when you find the right counselor for you. My counseling style is laid back and flows with the varying needs of each client. My role is to listen without judgment and help guide my clients through life’s tangles and towards their goals, providing tools along the way. I welcome clients from all experiences, cultures, and life’s many flavors.

I once read a story about a sea lion that somehow ended up in a barren desert. It was dry and parched and the closest thing resembling the sea was a mud puddle. He was sad and lost and knew he didn't belong, but he had been there so long and knew of nothing else, so he considered it "home". Too often, we find ourselves like this sea lion, living an unfulfilling existence, or in surroundings that aren't consistent with who we are. We passively accept our lot in life or sabotage efforts to live with passion and joy.

It seems inevitable that at some point in everyone's life, the thread that connects us to our deepest center becomes frayed or lost. We may experience this as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, physical illness, feeling "stuck", and more. These symptoms are messengers of the soul and can lead us to that deep place where healing and transformation can occur. Our psyche also speaks to us through joy, a sense of "calling," intuitions, synchronicities, talents, etc... but often we listen best to pain. Together, we can rediscover your authentic Self and access your own wellspring of healing.

I'd be a good fit if you're motivated, curious, open, flexible in thought, committed to the therapy process, and willing to do hard work. I'll work hard, too. If your needs and goals are to feel calmer, have a more integrated sense of self, feel more secure and confident, to grow and expand your thought processes, to organize past life events, develop/increase spirituality, work towards independence, and promote holistic well-being through the use of evidenced-based techniques and theories, I'd be a good fit! I also love pets. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats. I have training and certification in pet loss and grief. I value all relationships.
