Therapists in Fridley, MN

Are you feeling stressed out? On the surface it may look like you have it all: a wonderful partner, nice family, or a great career but underneath, you are overwhelmed. Others may think you are put together, sometimes, even coming to you for support. They don't realize you are experiencing increased worry, anxiousness, and exhaustion. You feel stressed out, distracted, and even panicked. You just can't keep up. When you stop to think about it, you are not living the life you expected. You are tired and don't know where to turn.

My policy is, come as you are, in whatever state that may be. Are you going through what feels like a never-ending cycle of intrusive thoughts? Do you often find yourself stuck in an anxious loop, that eventually leaves you stuck and unable to make decisions? Whatever the concerns are, I can help stabilize your mind and find solutions to maintain a general sense of well-being and mental clarity. Usually this starts with addressing our emotions, bringing ourselves to a calm place in order to acknowledge the problems. Big problems are usually small at first, no matter how trivial they are, and it’s completely okay to talk about them!

Do you need help managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, toxic behavior, focus/cognitive function, emotions, goal setting, motivation, achievement, career, grief, trauma, self-identity, work-life balance, or finding calm and happiness? I provide encouragement and guidance toward joy and hope with a focus on body, mind, and spirit to achieve wellness. I collaborate with you, and help you focus on yourself, so you find solutions that work for you. You will learn how to enrich yourself with positivity and purpose, and learn how to empower yourself to live authentically in peace.

I've worked with people of all ages across the lifespan. Throughout my career I have worked with people of all ages managing experiences of depression, anxiety, addiction, technology, trauma, and abuse. I am "geek" and LBGTQ+ friendly and have experience with people from diverse cultural, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. I also have extensive experience working with people and families managing chronic illness, hospice and palliative care, and end of life decisions. With affirmation, practical education, and clinical guidance, I help individuals gain personal insights, nurture relationships, and manage difficulties in their lives.

My hope is to help you through the journey by coaching, encouraging, challenging, and supporting you through your next transition. I believe in having an open, authentic, and genuine relationship with you. I want to help you regain control, build trust in yourself, and help you make the changes that you want. We all lead busy lives and it is important that you take care of yourself. I want to support you make changes that make your life not just good but better. I also offer telehealth sessions so you don't need to leave the comfort of your home or office!

Ever feel stuck in life due to unforeseen circumstances and are unsure about how to move forward? I imagine that you are struggling with developing healthy lifestyle habits, or positive coping strategies and may be experiencing persistent depression or anxiety. Perhaps your depression and anxiety stem from a major life change, traumatic experiences, conflict in relationships, financial hardships, chronic or terminal illness, or the loss of a loved one. If any of those things are true for you, then I can help you become unstuck and live your most fulfilling life. You deserve to move forward and begin your healing journey.

Stuck? Exhausted? Life not playing fair? Worry and anxiety robbing you? Having panic attacks on the regular? Getting triggered left and right? Someone running or ruining your life? Dissatisfied with yourself, relationships, or career? Unsure of your next steps? I know the pain and frustration when life is not going well. That sense of overwhelm. And I understand the magic that can happen in psychotherapy when you commit to working on yourself, your personal growth, and your healing. We may not all get charmed lives, but we all deserve to feel better. You can feel better. You do not need to navigate life alone.

I believe in encouraging clients to find their inner strength, resilience, and confidence. My approach to therapy includes offering hope and the skills to overcome struggles, no matter how difficult they might seem. Engaging in therapy will work to develop your own strengths and allow you to feel more comfortable in your own skin, leading to a greater sense of vitality and peace of mind. When you are ready to open yourself to these changes, don't wait. Call me today. I currently have openings in my schedule for day appointments and can get an appointment setup quickly.

I support you--an adult, a teen, or the child you love--overcome the suffering associated with anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, poor self-regulation, anger management, a negative self-image, lack of motivation, the effect of unresolved past experiences, challenging transitions, living and aging well with or without serious health concerns, and the frustration and hopelessness parents, partners, and children of all ages often feel communicating in families with entrenched in high conflict, power-over relationship patterns. I facilitate your path toward a more positive future with trauma sensitive evidence based practices.

*Limited availability* I collaborate with my clients to identify and examine their unique life narratives and how those narratives inform their life experiences and relationships. Together, we will explore the unique barriers you face and we will work together to minimize the impact of those barriers, practice new ways of thinking and behaving, and create new life narratives. **I will move to Iowa City to pursue a Ph.D. Counseling Psychology degree during July 2022.**
