Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed out? Are you having trouble in your relationships, with your partner or kids? Is depression and/or anxiety taking the joy out of life? If the answer is "YES!" to any of these questions then maybe its time to make a change in your life. I can help support you in taking steps to start enjoying your life. My counseling style is grounded in compassion and empathy. I strive to create a comfortable, safe space for you to feel respected and understood. You are capable of creating the life you want to live!

I believe that life throws "curve balls" that can be challenging to navigate. Therapy is a place to explore how these challenges impact us, those we care about, and how we can move forward with what we value in our lives. I believe that each of us is the expert of our lives and we are empowered to make healthy decisions for ourselves. I would like to help you through the more difficult times in your journey, creating a safe place for you to be open, explore, and grow as an individual or couple.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based out of Hutchinson, MN. Life can be really, really hard, and I'm here to help. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, big life changes, along with many other challenges, and it can feel like a lot. I'm here to help you untangle it all. I do my best to provide a safe space and environment where you can feel comfortable sharing whatever is on your mind.

My counseling philosophy seeks to find the root of issues, rather than only focusing on managing surface-level symptoms. I incorporate positive psychology, Attachment theory, Family Systems, and Jungian analysis- including a focus on Personality Types, as identified by the Myers-Briggs (MBTI). I believe change occurs in therapy when the client is able to identify the things that are holding them back or distracting them from finding fulfillment in developing their true self. My work as a therapist is to partner with you on your journey toward wholeness as a safe, consistent, trustworthy listener and helper.

Clients I work with face a variety of challenges in their mental or behavioral health. Their symptoms are depression or anxiety based, sometimes experienced together, as the two dynamics can work hand in hand. In having a comfortable space to examine neglected or avoided areas, one can gain fresh perspective to move forward. A counselor can help to add context through psychoeducation or frameworks to work through said issues. Whether it’s challenges in relationships, managing emotions, trauma, or behaviors that no longer serve us, we can begin to look at it in a safe manner, try some new things, and attempt to get some new results.

I promote growth by offering a safe, accepting atmosphere so that you can feel heard, validated, and empowered. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! I am a dually Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC, LPC) in Minnesota and New Jersey with over 20 years of experience working with adults and geriatric clients in several diverse settings promoting a holistic approach to counseling by addressing, emotional, physical, mental, and social needs.

Are you looking for therapist who can help you overcome depression or anxiety with or without medication? Have you seen other therapists in the past that focused on the problem for months, or even years? Are you finally ready and willing to improve your life... and you just need someone to help you find perspective, direction and hope? The therapy I provide is based on well-researched, proven techniques, along with a mind/body approach that incorporates mindfulness and awareness into the process.

My training is through the master’s degree program in Counseling & Psychological Services from Saint Mary’s University. Previous to becoming a therapist, I was living the corporate life for over 20 years at large companies such as Land O Lakes, 3M, and Medtronic. I enjoy working with adults, teens, and couples to address any struggles that are presenting barriers from living their best, most fulfilling lives. Thinking about starting or returning to therapy can be scary and overwhelming. I am passionate about creating a relaxed, private, safe environment where clients can feel comfortable and connected to their therapist.

Hello, I am a licensed therapist with over 10 years of practice. I provide a safe, caring, and nonjudgmental place to explore what matters most to you and the difficulties you are experiencing. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and various stressors.

We all have times when we feel stuck, stressed, confused, hurt, alone, or simply like we're not living our best life. Maybe you’re seeking healing from trauma, or grieving a significant loss. Maybe you want help coping with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, sadness, and disconnection. Maybe certain habits are getting you down, and you want help overcoming them. Perhaps you’re seeking support in making a significant life decision, or change. Maybe you want healthier relationships, or a deeper spirituality. Or maybe you just want someone to come alongside you and help you figure out how to get back to feeling okay. More like yourself.

I am a clinical social worker with an integrative and holistic approach to psychotherapy. My therapy practice is rooted in mindfulness, CBT and DBT approaches, EMDR, and contemporary Psychodynamic therapy. I also draw from the mind-body connection, spirituality, social/cultural influences, neuroscience, and compassion. My background is in social work, which gives me a social justice lens and awareness of how societal factors like inequality and discrimination can affect mental health. I primarily provide psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy/Ketamine assisted psychotherapy at Intero Psychedelic Therapy in St. Paul, MN.

Many people struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety or insomnia. Others have difficulty in relationships, are dissatisfied with work or face serious health challenges. And many others struggle to adapt to life changes, or simply feel discouraged or unhappy. I work collaboratively with my clients to target the issues most challenging to them and use evidence-based approaches to improve those problems. I believe that developing a strong relationship with my clients provides the essential base from which sustainable change can be achieved. I am PsyPact certified and can practice telepsychology in those states.

My clients can change anxiety, ADHD, autism, or pain with live heart and brain feedback called biofeedback or neurofeedback in online visits. Clients control music volume on their phones with their calm attention levels with free biofeedback equipment I provide. It is easy mindfulness therapy for kids and adults. It is proven to work as well as medication for anxiety, ADHD, and pain. I have years of experience as a therapist, and have taught clinicians at The University of MN Medical Center and elsewhere.

Self-exploration with a compassionate, curiously-engaged presence is a powerful experience which results in deep, lasting change. Often times, our experience of the world and ourselves can feel vaguely yet urgently unsatisfying. Sometimes we unconsciously live in a reality which no longer feels like it "fits", but we know therapy is about opening up to see yourself and the world in a new, more boundless way. Confusion is a great step towards new growth, and we can work together to help you experience life more fully. (For efficient scheduling purposes, please email rather than call)

Current afternoon openings. I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel better to improve their relationships. Past hurts and experiences can cloud decision making in the present and relating to each other. Especially when it comes to stressors of daily responsibilities like marriage and parenting. Let’s work together using evidence-based techniques to stop your negative thoughts so you can make more positive mindset decisions. Triggers feel awful and there are proven remedies to help stop them. Together through therapy we can eliminate negative thoughts and memories that prevent you from being the best version of yourself.

At some point in all of our lives, we can benefit from support to manage life’s challenging moments. There may be times where we do not feel as though life is going as well as we planned, which can leave us feeling frustrated, depressed, anxious, empty, or hopeless. Seeking support during these times has been shown to help lessen the harmful impacts from these emotions, helping individuals navigate these events is one of the reasons why I chose to pursue my doctorate.
