Family Therapy in 55057

You are feeling alone and overwhelmed. You are anxious and the negative thoughts in your head are becoming louder and more difficult to control. Your sleep is poor and when you wake you feel tired already. You want help from a holistic perspective. I will teach you how to manage your mind and your nervous system so that you can function better during the day and sleep well at night. I will help you heal the root causes of your anxiety. Your relationships and your health will improve. A "fresh look" look at your difficulties might bring hope into a situation that you have considered to be hopeless.

Are you feeling down, anxious, angry or unhappy? My philosophy is that "Life is too short" and for all the bad there is just as much good. Therapy helps one to start finding the good in life and making the necessary changes for that to happen. It is about learning new skills and trying on new ways of living. I feel that as a therapist I become a coach, cheerleader, supporter and confidant. You have already taken the hardest step and that is to admit that there is a problem and to seek help. I look forward to the Journey.

I believe therapy can be beneficial for everyone, as we all experience difficulty in life, a need for healing, a desire for wholeness, or just for things to "get better." If you are struggling, be it with grief, relationships, or a sense of stuckness, you don't have to do it alone. I'm happy to be on your life journey with you! I work with adolescents, adults, and children age 10+, as well as couples and families. As a chaplain and pre-licensure marriage and family therapist, I work from a relational and systemic perspective, honoring the spiritual and religious backgrounds of all people as we explore what's meaningful to you.

I have a deep passion for sitting with people during their darkest times to uncover their truths and strengths that lie within. We all need help along our journeys and it takes great courage to reach out. I see safety as key to healing and strive to provide that sense of safety to every client that I work with so that we are able to work towards solutions. Together, we will build more meaning, connection, intimacy, and hope in your life. I affirm the dignity, value, and worth of all clients and promote an atmosphere of openness, security, and respect.

I seek to find connection, building a relationship with you. I will collaborate with you, listening first for understanding, learning about your values, needs and hopes. My goal is to partner and walk along with you. It is your journey, a unique experience we are navigating toward healing, wellness and/or increased awareness.

My therapeutic approach is non-judgmental. My lens is to support not pathologize. You may feel there is something wrong with you. Those feelings and struggles can become complicated. I can help things feel less complicated, help you find more agency in your life, get connected to your body and compassion to the parts of you needing healing.

Movement is important to me. I believe that when we feel stuck and unfulfilled it can interrupt the way we move through our life. I am passionate about teaching individuals. I strive to cheer you on your path to growth and help you learn how to manage challenging life circumstances through improving relationships by reducing anxiety and stress that comes along with this process. My hope is to be your guide by utilizing evidence-based practices to help you manage challenging life circumstances, reduce anxiety and stress, and accept the past so that it doesn’t continue to influence your future.

I specialize in college students struggling with ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, isolation/loneliness, and/or low self worth. I work best with people that have felt "missed", misjudged, or marginalized and have internalized an unhealthy pattern of self-criticism. Your transformation and healing in therapy will come through consistently and compassionately improving your relationship with yourself. You need to be willing to face all your emotions (yes, even the unpleasant ones), embrace your vulnerability, and reconnect with a strong sense of self worth and belonging.

I have over a quarter century of experience in working with individuals, couples, and families. My goals in therapy are: to listen with care and compassion, to help people understand the factors causing stress, and to equip people to make lasting changes. I have extensive experience in working with couples and families.

I've worked in a variety of settings over the years: in schools, community mental health, in home therapy, pregnant and parenting youth programs, grief/hospice, inpatient/residential/outpatient eating disorder treatment and college counseling. In these settings I've been fortunate to work with clients at different stages of life and circumstance. I also consult with parents who are preparing to launch their young adult to college, as this can be a confusing, challenging and emotional time for all. Additionally, I'm certified in Prepare/Enrich, working with engaged and married couples in strengthening their relationship.

Opening for 2 clients (online). I specialize in helping college students who feel they are not “enough” or should be different or perfect. They often feel invisible, unappreciated, and end up in "toxic" relationships. Do you give your kindness and compassion to others but not yourself? If you're willing to feel all the feelings and be vulnerable, you can challenge the "shoulds" in your mind and learn to accept and celebrate your authentic self. You can correct unhealthy relationship patterns (even with yourself), assert good boundaries, and practice self-compassion. Life is hard enough without you being so hard on yourself!

My practice is devoted to helping people feel calmer, lighter, and more at peace with their emotions. I help people understand themselves better and form more rewarding, less painful relationships with themselves and with others. We do this together within the context of a safe, therapeutic relationship where you can work though difficult feelings and experiences and practice new skills. I have been trained in a variety of approaches and draw upon them based on your specific needs and what I think may be most effective. I welcome ongoing feedback to make sure that our work together remains focused and satisfying.

By reading this, you're already taking a step toward what you want. Maybe this is your first time, or you've had some difficult experiences in the past. Maybe your experiences were helpful and you're ready to take another step. Therapy is about relationship - my first goal is to create a safe space, open to all, free from judgement, where you can first build safety and support, and then move into learning, change and growth. I work with your values and beliefs to improve self awareness, make the most of yourself and your life.

Are you a person currently contemplating personal change? Have you ever thought of therapy as a means towards personal growth or self discovery? I'd like to compassionately guide/support you toward actualizing your best self. I want to help you break out of the rut, to meet goals and to gain confidence and strength to conquer whatever obstacle is in your way. I prefer to emphasize and build on positive influences. I prefer to work in the realm of solutions, and I can help with deep, meaningful, personal shifts that lead to change.

I believe there is a time in everyone's life where one feels uncertain or in need of assistance to gain understanding of oneself. If you are seeking therapy you may be experiencing a variety of symptoms or searching for better understanding of yourself or a partner. I work toward identifying the root of problems to maximize potential and build on strengths within you. I view my role as a guide to support and assist in your journey of self-discovery. I honor the uniqueness and integrity of every individual, offering a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

If you're struggling in your relationships with things like communication and you feel like you don’t know how to improve it, even with workbooks or past therapy, I can successfully help relationships and individuals learn not only how to have hard conversations, but also how to tolerate the distress of having to talk about things we think we “shouldn’t have to.” To accomplish this, we'll identify communication styles, barriers, and other relational dynamics keeping the relationship from thriving by using skills-focused and narrative approaches that reinforce the relationship.
