Therapists in Litchfield, MN

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!

It's not always easy for individuals to admit they can't handle their challenges alone, nor is it an admission of weakness to look for help. The world around us may appear scary and unkind sometimes, but I have an unwavering belief that we are all agents of change. I believe we can bring positive change to the world by empowering those around us, one individual at a time. This is why I do what I do, and this is what I can do to help you. It may seem hard today, but together we can find a way to make the burdens of life manageable.

My commitment is to help you make positive life changes. There are times when we are faced with obstacles and difficulties that interfere with growth and development, preventing us from achieving goals and aspirations, and diminishing our happiness and wellbeing. Psychotherapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental setting to discover solutions to challenges. With the powerful tools of communication and insight, I will help you identify counterproductive patterns and habits preventing you from living an optimal life. Together we will recognize and build upon your strengths and skills, develop new resources and strategies, and discover beneficial, healing ways of approaching your life.

I believe it's important to recognize all aspects of your being in the therapy process. This is why I integrate Western medicine (neuroscience, somatic methods and cognitive-behavioral therapy) with Eastern philosophy (Buddhist psychology and Ayurvedic medicine). My role is facilitator, guiding you in changing patterns, improving relationships, living authentically and being your best self.

I work with clients who live with intense emotions. Deep depression, constant anxiety, intense anger, and other clients—who want to avoid feeling all together. Emotions often drive my client's choices—how they choose to behave or speak (or bow out of engaging/speaking) depends on how they are feeling. This tends to create chaos and damage relationships. My clients become aware of their thoughts and emotions without being ruled by them. My style is warm, highly curious, non-judgmental, and collaborative. It is important to me that you feel comfortable, with me, and in my space.

Are you struggling with life circumstances, or feel stuck because of past hurts? I specialize in journeying with people who face anxiety, fear, trauma, broken relationships, and spiritual doubts. Shame tells us that we don't belong and that we aren't good enough. I provide practical tools to empower you to strengthen your true identity and be resilient within all of your relationships.

Healing immensely personal, often secret and shameful struggles with body hate, bingeing, purging, restricting, and other related behaviors takes courage and commitment. You may want to change, or have begun the recovery process, but also feel ambivalent and fearful about how and what it means to recover. If this resonates, you are not alone. Recovery is possible and finding peace with food, mind, and body is worth the arduous journey-whether this is your first attempt at treatment or you have completed multiple treatments. I also help caregivers in their role supporting a loved one with an eating disorder.

No issue is too small for therapy, any change that improves our lives is a worthwhile one. I have a passion for helping people identify the skills they already have within them and creating new ways to cope with life's challenges. Using a collaborative approach you can improve, empower, and accept yourself! By learning to understand yourself on a deeper level and finding productive ways to manage anxiety, life transitions, self-doubt, and difficult emotions you will be able to feel more joy in your day-to-day experiences and confidence in yourself.

I love to work with folks who are ready to connect with their innate power to heal and flourish in their lives. These folks may be feeling stuck in one way or another pushed to experience more, but not sure how to get there. They may be experiencing symptoms such as anxiety or depression because of this internal tug of war, or a sense of dissatisfaction in their jobs, relationships, or the accomplishment of their life goals. We all want to feel empowered to fulfill our dreams and potential in this life and I am here to help you connect to your innate ability to do so.

I enjoy helping foster a sense of resiliency, empowerment, and strength in my clients. I believe in helping my clients to discover their strengths and empowering them to improve their life to meet their individual goals. I have experience working with individuals of a wide range of ages, including children, teens, and adults.

I work with clients dealing with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, anger, loneliness, guilt, and fear. Said simply, my clients are people, entangled in life's struggles, and they just want to get better.

We can feel a lot of pressure to succeed or look a certain way. Sometimes we just don't feel good enough or that we have to do things "perfectly" to be accepted. We might even think, "when will I finally get there?", "why can't I just get over this?", or "I feel like there is something wrong with me." Together, we will work to help you to heal your relationship with yourself and overcome your struggles; whether they are anxiety, depression, feelings of inadequacy, or challenges with food and/or exercise.

Change is difficult and whatever the transition or life challenge you are facing, you may be feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty making decisions. Perhaps you are struggling with self confidence, relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, and other undesirable thoughts and feelings.
