Therapists Beginning With S in Minnesota
Hi there, I'm Laurie! I am so glad that you have made the choice to engage in the therapy process. I work with adult individuals and specialize in anxiety, grief, and relationship issues. I believe that you will make great progress when you can feel safe and accepted by your therapist, so it is my goal that you will feel that way in every encounter that we have. My goal in therapy is not only to help you feel safe, heard, and accepted, but also to help you reach your goals so that you leave the therapy process feeling like you learned new/better coping mechanisms and that you can perceive how you've grown and changed.

As a human, I know that we all suffer from past traumas and old programs installed by our culture, family or even our own selves. I have also learned the value of having a space to explore those burdens, become curious about where they came from and assess how they are affecting you in your current life.
As a therapist, my goal is to provide you with a calm, open space to do just that. We can explore the things that weigh you down, learn the lessons they have provided you and work to set them down so you can free up space and energy within yourself to create more of what you do want in your life.

In our work together, I strive to create a supportive space where emotions are not minimized or avoided, but explored and honored.

Whether you are just beginning to explore your inner world or feel overwhelmed by what’s already there, we will go at your pace, together.

Are you stuck? Have you tried the traditional paths of medication and therapy and been unsatisfied with the outcome? Would you like to address the root cause and directly train your brain to become more efficient and effective? I am a registered nurse who worked in the hospital providing direct patient care for 20 years. I have witnessed the debilitating effect that dysregulated nervous systems have on patient's mental and physical well being. Traditional treatments of medication and therapy alone may not be sufficent for addressing brain dysregulation.

I've worked with individuals & families via CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)/trauma focused therapy, family systems therapy, & play therapy for a variety of issues such as MH & addiction since 1998. I adjust/integrate therapeutic modalities holistically based on needs. I am respectful, laid back and humorous during tough work. I'm supportive & I encourage/challenge you to grow. It is difficult to change while health & wellness may require changes. I may use “tough love” while I am understanding and collaborative. Recovery/health requires action, growth, maturity, & accountability.
