Life can be unpredictable with many ups-and-downs. Seeking therapy to help navigate life requires courage. If you are considering therapy, you are demonstrating that courage and are likely on your way to improving your life. I take pride in utilizing science-based approaches and I also cherish the opportunity to mindfully and compassionately collaborate with you. Together we will identify what may be keeping you stuck and we will forge a path to increasing your quality of life. Lastly, I believe in the mind-body connection and enjoy introducing mindfulness-based skills to enhance that connection.

Envision the day you believe “I am enough”. We have so many roles to fulfill—partner, parent, employee, friend—and remember—self care. Experience working in large systems has provided me a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges facing individuals and families today. I have background providing crisis services, suicide assessments and follow up support. Listening, being witness to the grief, stress and trauma of life, stepping alongside individuals to assist them to see options and make choices using their strengths and beliefs is the base of my practice.

Emotions makes our lives matter. They convert our lives into a series of events that become our living breathing human experience. As a therapist I meet my clients where they are at. We will work together to celebrate the positive experiences in your life and identify strategies for moving through the difficult ones. I collaborate with individuals, partners, and parents to create a wholistic plan of care. You are the center of this whole process and the expert on you. We will create your best life and achieve your goals.

I derive joy and meaning from helping people access their brilliant capacities for healing. My specialties are couples therapy, anxiety/OCD, chronic illness, recovery from relationship abuse, and adjustment through other changes.

Hello, and welcome! I work best with clients who are going through transitions, experiencing relationship problems, unravelling past traumas, breaking away from family patterns, coping with mood disorders, and trying to find themselves. I strongly believe therapy is for everyone, and that most of us at some point in our lives find ourselves needing clarity, refocusing, and processing. Some of my clients have seen counselors throughout their lives; others are having their first experience in therapy. I enjoy working with both! (At this time I am only seeing clients 18+ years old)

Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, and is a brave step in taking care of your own wants and needs in life. I deeply value the various aspects that make up the journeys of others, as we all have our own unique stories. Often through reflection, when we allow ourselves to slow down and notice what we are experiencing in the moment, true self discovery and capacity from within can be cultivated. With compassion and openness I walk beside my clients as they work toward relief and resolution.

Are you feeling your life or relationships are off? That there is a way to make it better just around the corner but you don't know how to get there? I know exactly how you're feeling: frustrated in what you have tried, not where you want to be, feeling stuck, and ready to throw it all away. Being stuck can lead to depression, anxiety, or irritability. I don't want you to suffer any more. I look forward to teaching you how therapy can provide direction and help you take your life back.

I am particularly informed by the Narrative therapy approach of understanding our life stories and taking ownership of the ending. I am also influenced by systemic approaches and consider the relationships which impact all of us, whether you show up in my office alone or with part of your family.

Hello and welcome, Thank you for reaching out. My goal in the therapeutic process is to help clients achieve a greater sense of wellbeing. Everyone has different reasons for engaging in therapy, the process begins where you are. We all have up’s and down’s and mindset can play a significant role in how we are feeling. By understanding our mindset, we are better able to make the changes we need in order to improve ourselves and take on life’s challenges. As a therapist, working to create a safe and supportive space to talk and explore your thoughts and feelings is key.

Get counseling without going out. We have specialized in remote online counseling for over 4 years. We have several therapists with immediate openings for daytime, evening, and weekend appointments. Our online services are covered by insurance. We also offer in-office counseling in our office in White Bear Lake, MN. We believe we can all use help at various times in our life to get through stressful times, break unhelpful patterns, and see if we can live our life with more happiness. Counseling can help to sort things out, resolve past and present issues, and help clear your mind for sound decision-making.

We are not meant to live in isolation. From the moment we are born, our identity and sense of self is tied in with those around us. Over time, it may shift from parents to peer groups to intimate partners, but how we interact with others is at the core of our emotional well-being. Parenting comes with a unique set of questions, self-doubt, and high stakes. For many of us, it may activate unresolved hurt or resentment from our own childhood or invite feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty. Our intimate relationships are another significant part of our lives. Clients can learn how to connect, improve understanding, and strengthen their intimate relationships by moving past the cycles that break down communication and build walls of hurt and defensiveness. Couples can re-establish that “spark,” share a vision of a connected future, and feel both valued and validated by their partners. Experiencing trauma impacts our ability to connect with and receive connection from others. Sometimes we get so stuck in that trauma that it shifts our view of the world and can permanently alter our perception. Therapy is a place to process through this experience, so you can move forward with life.
