Therapists in Excelsior, MN

Are you or your loved one autistic, feeling misunderstood or experiencing related challenges? Do you need a therapist who understands your family and your unique situation? If you are a neurodivergent adult or parenting an autistic child and are looking for a safe place to process your feelings, address trauma, improve communication or problem solve daily challenges, I would be honored to help. As both an experienced therapist and a parent of an autistic young adult, I understand how autism, anxiety or ADHD impacts you and your family.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is better understand your own story. Working through your past allows you to better understand your patterns, beliefs, and strengths to optimize where you are headed. Too often in life, we experience events that silence us, making it hard to know where to turn. In my office I work hard to create and hold spaces for my clients that are rooted in compassion, empathy, and safety. No matter where you are in your healing journey, I believe everyone has the potential to find more peace and live closer to their authentic beings.

Hello, I'm Ruby! I am here to be your biggest cheerleader, thought untangler, and copilot through the ups and downs of life. My approach is both direct and warm, creating a safe space for open dialogue and exploration. Maybe you aren’t feeling so much like yourself anymore? Maybe you are often disregualted and you aren’t sure why? Maybe there are some painful things from your past you would like to work through? Together we will examine thought/behavior patterns and address core wounds to allow you better understand yourself with compassion and adapt healthy coping strategies so you can move forward effectively in your life.

I offer warmth, humor, authentic feedback, along with a deep respect for the people with whom I work. My focus is on hearing what people want in their lives--including their biggest dreams--and then helping them develop the skills and confidence to go for it. I create a supportive place to work through emotions, identify strengths, expand coping strategies, and find meaning in life's challenges. I also help couples cultivate deeper levels of connection and shift unhelpful patterns. I love witnessing clients enjoying their relationships more fully- including partnerships, family, friendships and community ties.

Do any of the following resonate with you? Resentment is eating away at your joy in life. You are avoiding things. You feel lonely, even when you are with others. You appear to have it all together, but inside you feel raw. Feeling stuck at work, unhappy in relationships, preoccupied, pressured to perform. Everyone keeps talking about 'boundaries' but you're not sure how to create them without feeling guilty. You are an intelligent, caring, and determined person. You want to grow and improve but you're slipping into old patterns. You want to feel present in the moment instead of thinking about what's next.

Therapy for the woman looking for effective and compassionate support making sustainable life changes in mind-body-spirit health. If you're going through depression, anxiety, stress, life-stage transitions, low self-esteem, struggle with self-care, relationship conflict, or work/home life balance, this may be a good fit for you. Overcoming the obstacles keeping you from being and feeling your best, understanding deeply your feelings and needs, healing your internal relationship with Self and quality connections with others, and finding more satisfaction and contentment in daily life are common achievements in therapy with me.

Finding the optimal therapeutic fit is a bit like going on a blind date... you hope for the best and prepare for the worst. People who think I'm a fit are often high-achieving individuals with an acute awareness of the issue, feel they have tried "everything" to fix it, and are giving therapy “one last chance.” I successfully get clients “unstuck” by challenging them in unconventional, collaborative ways. I intentionally push people 20% past where they are comfortable (because that’s where the growth happens!) and practice pivoting to ensure you have the skills to navigate, manage, and address the discomfort long-term.

Are you interested in how to use the connections between your mind, brain and body to improve your health, enrich your relationships, and increase your overall life? Working with these connections has been the focus of my 30 years of practice as a psychologist. Since every client's presenting concern in some way or another impacts upon their brain, their mind and their body - whether that involves depression, anxiety, pain, sleep, relationship challenges, or digestive concerns - my orientation to therapy is well positioned to help people get better now and to be better positioned to stay healthier in the future.

Navigating interpersonal relationships to enhance wellbeing and a sense of tranquility need not be a solitary endeavor. The world can feel chaotic; our lives need not mirror this tumult. Feelings of irritation, sadness, fear, and emptiness are normal in times of change and uncertainty. When these feelings become overpowering or they are negatively impacting your life: change is critical. I believe exploring your ideal personal philosophy is critical to (re) establish life balance.
