EMDR Therapists in Carlton County, MN

Because therapy can be intimidating, I make it a point to be sure all of my clients feel comfortable, welcomed and understood. I specialize in the treatment of: trauma, depression, anxiety, & addiction. I treat people through the use of attachment theory and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Attachment theory can help individuals examine the experiences of their relationships and process them in a healthier manner. I use EMDR in the treatment of trauma and other mental health needs, such as: anxiety, addiction and depression.

If this is an emergency please call 911 or 988 Suicide Helpline. I am dedicated to working with individuals, couples, and families by supporting hope and growth through a family systems perspective and trauma informed care. My passion is attachment, relationships, and development and their impact on functioning throughout one’s life. I find encouragement in my work through helping others find hope, strength, and healing within their environment and relationships.

I specialize in women and teen issues, mental health illnesses and therapy with clients that have survived trauma or abuse.

If you’re new to therapy, I’m here for you. If you had a bad experience with a previous therapist, I’m here for you. If you are hesitant to start mental health services, or looking for a new provider, I’m here for you. Starting therapy can be scary, I will walk along side you normalizing the human experience, de-stigmatize and provide psychoeducation on mental health, and help you work towards your optimal functioning. I value transparency, vulnerability, humor, and compassion and will help you with tools and strategies to get you back to feeling more like yourself right away.

I currently enjoy and have experience working with individuals of varying ages in providing services to address trauma with children, adolescents and adults as well as other stressors that may result in anxiety or other concerns. I am trained in evidenced based practices such as EMDR, CPT and TF-CBT and work with individuals to determine what is the best fit. My approach to therapy is to determine with clients and families what will be most helpful for the specific life circumstances and to meet them where they are in life.

The choice to make time for therapy can be difficult with all of life’s responsibilities. And when previous ways of coping begin to fall short, it can be helpful to have a supportive space to turn to. Therapy provides the opportunity for you to engage in exploration, feel your feelings, and process life experiences. I hope to have the opportunity to work collaboratively with you to support you in fostering meaningful change in your life, whatever that change may be.

I work hard in providing the kind of therapy that fits the individual in order to get the results that clients desire. I utilize your total life experience together with applying over 35 years of clinical experience to best serve those I work with. I offer a spiritual perspective for those interested including their faith that can make therapy more cost effective and fulfilling. I like to work with people who have come to the end of their ropes, feeling discouraged with previous efforts and ready for change.

I have nearly 25 years of experience as a therapist working with depression, anxiety, relationships, stress management, and professional/general burnout. I particularly enjoy and have experience supporting other helping professionals in all of these areas. I enjoy using positive psychology, gratitude, and humor with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, DBT strategies, ART (trauma modality), and a variety of other evidenced-based interventions. My approach is practical and unique to individual needs. I hope you feel empowered with effective, easy to use strategies for improved mental health, relationships, and quality living.

Relationships are a vital part of all life. We learn about ourselves, others, & the world around us through our relationships. Trauma, oppression, abuse, emotional wounds, grief/loss, & many other challenges can be overwhelming, create disconnection, & leave us feeling hopeless. Under certain conditions (much like composting) those challenges can offer us a place from where we can learn, heal, & grow. This process is not linear and is unique to each of us. I'm dedicated to creatively collaborating with you to bring more ease and authenticity into your life & relationships.
