Therapists in Fridley, MN

Humor is one of my therapist superpowers. On the journey to greater emotional well-being, I want you to laugh, feel comfortable, and not take yourself too seriously. Seriously! Because when you're a parent worried about your child's peer relationships or your teen's behaviors or school performance, I know life can feel heavy. Even for adults dealing with typical life transitions, it can feel stressful and overwhelming. Whatever the challenge, I'm here for you. We will work together to regain the light-heartedness that makes life enjoyable.

I believe each individual has the potential to grow at any age. My ultimate focus in therapy is to not merely eliminate “symptoms” but to increase your fulfillment in life, as defined by you. This means treatment is customized to meet YOUR needs so you can meet your goals. I provide therapy for a variety of clinical disorders, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, & interpersonal difficulties. I am SW-friendly and MAP-informed. I believe in the potential for individual and emotional growth, striving to provide a safe and warm environment in which you can explore and thrive. Therapy is not "one-size-fits all."

We are a Private Group Practice that adolescents and adults provide therapy to individuals with the diagnosis of anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, self-image/esteem, gambling, difficulty adjusting to life stress, and trauma.

Are you feeling frustrated with the people you are in relationship with, worried about the state of the world, or seeking a place where you can explore your values, identity, and lifestyle? I can help you feel more fulfilled in your relationships and more at peace with the unknown while you discover yourself in a straightforward and casual space. Together we can help you create a life that feels emotionally sound, in balance with your values and identity.

I work with youth and adolescents who currently or have experienced trauma, anxiety, and depression. I do ADHD coaching with adolescents, their parents, and adults.

People who see me for individual therapy are usually facing turmoil either due to current stressors or past issues that keep surfacing and prevent them from moving forward in their lives. Often, people tell me that they feel "stuck" and need direction/guidance. By working with me they identify their inner strengths and capabilities; they feel confident in themselves to take on challenges that come their way. In therapy we identify things that should change because what clients are doing currently is not helping. I problem solve and discuss ways to make their present meaningful. My strength based approach resonates with clients.

I enjoy working with all stressors, disorders and issues no matter how big or small. I don't have an ideal client because I really enjoy working with people of all walks of life. I want to help you establish goals and together we will achieve them. I specialize in children, adolescents and early childhood. I work with telehealth (video sessions).

Therapy is a process that can be challenging and at times hard, yet an exciting journey to be embraced. I believe in mindfulness, sincerity, honesty, and that people are inherently strong and have many of their own internal answers. Therapy is a partnership that encompasses a growth process that provides knowledge and tools to life's amazing roadmap. I work with clients to develop a collaborative approach to address concerns to meeting personal goals and the potential they believe in. I am passionate about my work and have deep respect for the clients I work with and the risks they take.

If starting therapy with a new therapist feels a little bit daunting, that’s alright! Life and all its stressors can be difficult to manage sometimes, and having positive support can make a huge difference for our mental health. I believe that everyone deserves to have a safe space where they can openly share their story, regardless of their various identities, background, or personal experiences. Healing is not linear; healing can be slow, stressful, and confusing. Sometimes we aren't quite sure where to start. My intention is to meet you with empathy and nonjudgmental care.

Want to be more authentic? As a gay man, I understand how difficult it can be to understand and feel confident in your identity. I bring that lived experience and empathy to my therapeutic work. Gender identity, sex and sexuality, relationships, body image and self-esteem, along with depression and anxiety that tangle with them, are things that I can help you work through. My goal is to help you be more kind to yourself, and to help you find your authentic self so you can live the life you want.

Yes, of course I will get it, I just wish my Bio could prove that. If you find it painful inside to constantly feel "This is hard to sort out, I can't stop, or I don't want to live like this."

For all of us are navigating life, throughout it, we can find ourselves in a place where we want to change what the landscape looks like. As a therapist with over a decade of experience, I believe that therapy itself is a journey that we choose to be on. As the person choosing to do this, I want you decide where we go and how fast to get there. I serve as a GPS: I can give you directions, but you are the expert of yourself. My role is to help you get from life what you are looking for.
