Therapists in Bloomington, MN

My practice is primarily focused on relationships. Many clients come in to talk about issues with their spouse or partner, growing or adult children, in-laws, friends and colleagues. Currently, I see individual clients and have advanced training in the treatment of intimate relationship strain.

I am fascinated with the idea of therapy being a form of art that beams in our most difficult times, like an individual’s strength and abilities to seek steps towards becoming whole. I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Because of the new and highly effective approach I use, I am looking for people who can influence others. I am looking mostly for successful business owners, executives and professionals struggling with stress, optimizing talents or finding meaning and fulfillment. I offer a proven route to personal, relationship and leader excellence - based on groundbreaking advances in psychology & neuroscience (brain). You can access your innate wellbeing, wisdom and unlimited capability directly. It is helpful if you are open to non-religious spiritual discussions.

Hello! I am a therapist who works with children and adults. I have been fortunate to work with a wide variety of individuals, families, and groups. I have a Master’s in Social Work and a Bachelor’s in American Indian Studies. I am a Licensed Graduate Social Worker through the Minnesota Board of Social Work. As I work towards my Licensed Clinical Social Work licensure I am under the supervision of Christine Hensgens.

I enjoy working with adults on an individual basis and my areas of interest are anxiety, depression, mindfulness meditation, finding meaning in life, and other issues that may arise. It’s never too late or too early to make positive life changes. It’s always the right time when we decide to better our lives. I currently see clients in my office and via telehealth through Catalyst Mental Health. More information about myself and Catalyst can be found by clicking on the "website" link on the left-hand side of this page.

Do you often find yourself stuck in a mindset that doesn't seem to be working for you - one that's critical, repetitive, and overwhelming? Does it feel like stressful events from your past never go away, no matter how hard you try to move past them? Perhaps you feel exhausted from poor focus, issues with trusting, distressing emotions, or a general lack of meaning in life. It seems like everyone else has it together, but you are starting to lose hope that things can get better. You are looking for someone to help you find a sense of balance and move toward the life you desire.

At Be. Counseling Partners we will support you throughout your therapy process. We will help you to identify your needs for support and your goals for change. Sometimes the desired change is internal; we want to think or feel differently about things, including ourselves. Sometimes the change we seek is about behavior; we want to react in different ways in relationships and situations in our lives. Sometimes the change is about acceptance; we seek acceptance of who we are or things we cannot control. It would be our privilege to accompany you in your change process.

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.

I enjoy building healthy therapeutic relationships with clients and promoting positive changes in their lives. I believe that everyone has innate strengths and "weaknesses" are often strengths over-utilized or used in non-ideal contexts. Working collaboratively with clients, I can help them better utilize their strengths and find alternative ways of dealing with life's challenges. I believe good therapy focuses on many areas of a client's life and helps them become a more authentic and well balanced version of themselves. If you are interested in starting therapy with me please reach out, I would be honored to work with you.

I strongly believe in the transformative power of therapy. I work with clients using curiosity and understanding to explore the roadblocks that keep them from becoming who they want to be. These roadblocks can be met with skills and tools or space to process, ultimately highlighting the client’s own ability to create change. Therapy should be unique to the individual. I am passionate about creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and am dedicated to finding the style of therapy that works best for each client. I use a blend of theoretical orientations and offer a direct, holistic, solution-focused lens.

I imagine you're seeking a psychotherapist for counseling because you hope to make some important changes. Success working with a psychologist depends on you feeling comfortable engaging in a collaborative manner with her. Some therapy sessions may be difficult as you ask important questions about yourself, how you function in the world. As you proceed, you may experience frustration, confusion, anxiety, self-doubt and/or conflicted feelings, but at the end of your psychotherapy you'll most likely have learned something new to help you with the concerns that brought you in to seek psychological treatment.
