Therapists in Plymouth, MN

Are you seeking more ease, authenticity, and fulfillment in your life? I am dedicated to helping clients identify and heal the root causes of their presenting problems, leading to a profound connection with one's true self, a sense of home within one's body, and the empowerment to reclaim agency over one's life. Rather than merely coping with one’s symptoms, I specialize in facilitating transformative change that involves trauma healing and releasing limiting beliefs. Having personally overcome misophonia after 25 years of suffering, I'm especially passionate about helping adults with this challenging condition.

Please note: limited daytime availability. If you're here, I applaud you. I understand the decision to see a therapist has many different starting points and it's not always an easy path getting here. Perhaps this is your first time seeking therapy and perhaps you've sought therapy before. No matter where you may be on your journey, I would be honored to support you. Life can be hard and experiences can feed us many lies that cause us to believe we are broken, crazy, or damaged. It is important to me that all of my clients realize the truth that they are worthy, loveable, capable, and resilient.

I work with adults and couples. I enjoy consulting with people regarding a variety of problems such as trauma, anxiety, depression, struggles in relationships, divorce adjustment and life transitions. I can support you to get out of the crisis or chaos you are experiencing. I can also support deep healing from childhood wounds, trauma or distressing experiences. I have a passion for working with couples; helping them regain what has been lost and find what is possible. I also help clients understand factors that have supported the patterns they are stuck in.

As a human navigating this ever-changing world, it is my belief that we each hold knowledge, power, and peace within ourselves. However, it is fair to say that we don't always feel this way. I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, shame, depression, life change, and trauma. My therapeutic goal is to hold space for you, support you, and help you enrich your life. I am committed to social justice and believe that systemic dynamics influence a person's mental health. I continually strive to have a validating space for all identities, and I advocate for anti-oppression on both community and systemic platforms.

I come from a strength-based, family systems approach with your goals in mind. I want to help you develop the tools and skills to help with the solutions you are looking for in your life.

Have you found yourself struggling with being present in your relationships? Do you find it difficult to manage your emotions?

My greatest joy is to help people find their inner voice and personal power. Trained and Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy, I work with both individuals and couples. Looking at attachment patterns that are unconsciously learned in childhood, we will see where and how those patterns play out in your life and how they hold you in unhealthy beliefs. Together, we will unravel the thought processes that thrive in judgment, scarcity, blame, and fear. I truly believe the healing process toward change occurs once YOU gain insight into yourself.

My work with clients is guided by each client’s strengths, resilience, and values. Putting in the work of therapy can be challenging and scary, especially in the process of trying to understand where you may be stuck in life, experiencing of intrusive thoughts, feelings of possible guilt of past actions, or living in shame. I strive to provide a safe, encouraging, and nonjudgmental environment to create a place/space for clients to hopefully feel at ease, supported, and empowered.

For those who want to change I help beyond listening. I connect with my clients and we find ways for you to change. Change in therapy is hard and I provide support through a strong counseling relationship with you. I have a wide life experience that helps me relate to your particular life situation. I also have experience in other careers which helps me understand workplace challenges.

Deciding to make changes in your life takes courage and motivation. My approach incorporates the latest research in the treatment of a wide range of anxiety, depression and relationship problems. You can expect a straightforward, supportive environment to discuss and implement your treatment goals. While I primarily use cognitive-behavioral approaches, I value the mind-body connection and am open to newer holistic and integrated therapies.

Finally, I work on the entire spectrum of relationships from dating to pre-marital to transitions or divorce. I also provide parenting coaching. I am also trained as a divorce mediator and help many people with parenting plans.

Reaching out for help can be a difficult and uncomfortable thing to do. If you're questioning whether or not you're ready to start therapy, you're not alone. My primary goal is to meet you where you are at and not judge or work on trying to change who you are. We start from wherever you want to start and move towards. Whether that is to work through stressful transitions and relationships, or better understanding yourself, my aim is to make you feel heard and feel safe to process.
