Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Faribault, MN

An ideal client is one who is open to seeing that life can be different. In session I use systems theory and bring awareness to how the 'system' we are currently living in is creating more mental and internal strain which is disconnecting us from our authentic self. I use a blended style of modalities that help the individual heal the wounds that have resulted from life. I blend mindfulness based interventions with Accelerated Resolution Therapy, IFS, polyvagal theory, CBT, DBT, and attachment theory to help individuals find the solutions that exist inside themselves.

I have a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling and enjoy working with Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families. I desire to see clients empowered to learn, grow, and heal from past hurts while discovering their best self.

I would like to work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, stress, and coping skills. I also have experience working with and would like to continue to work with clients who are neurodivergent. I am a motivated, organized, goal-setter and would like to work with clients who want to be motivated to achieve their goals and would like to experience sessions in a non-judgment space. We are in this together, and I would like to be here for your journey or the new chapter in your life.

I believe in building relationships in therapy that free people to find balance in their own lives. As a therapist, I focus on you. I want to understand your thoughts and feelings. I don’t judge; I listen. I don’t pressure; I provide a safe place. We all have important things to hold onto. We all go through times we need to let go. Sometimes it is easy to feel lost. Let me help you find your way.

Are you a person currently contemplating personal change? Have you ever thought of therapy as a means towards personal growth or self discovery? I'd like to compassionately guide/support you toward actualizing your best self. I want to help you break out of the rut, to meet goals and to gain confidence and strength to conquer whatever obstacle is in your way. I prefer to emphasize and build on positive influences. I prefer to work in the realm of solutions, and I can help with deep, meaningful, personal shifts that lead to change.

By reading this, you're already taking a step toward what you want. Maybe this is your first time, or you've had some difficult experiences in the past. Maybe your experiences were helpful and you're ready to take another step. Therapy is about relationship - my first goal is to create a safe space, open to all, free from judgement, where you can first build safety and support, and then move into learning, change and growth. I work with your values and beliefs to improve self awareness, make the most of yourself and your life.

I have over a quarter century of experience in working with individuals, couples, and families. My goals in therapy are: to listen with care and compassion, to help people understand the factors causing stress, and to equip people to make lasting changes. I have extensive experience in working with couples and families.

My practice is devoted to helping people feel calmer, lighter, and more at peace with their emotions. I help people understand themselves better and form more rewarding, less painful relationships with themselves and with others. We do this together within the context of a safe, therapeutic relationship where you can work though difficult feelings and experiences and practice new skills. I have been trained in a variety of approaches and draw upon them based on your specific needs and what I think may be most effective. I welcome ongoing feedback to make sure that our work together remains focused and satisfying.

I want to hear your story. I want to know what it's like to walk in your shoes. You may wonder if anyone really knows how you feel as you hide behind a smile, a laugh, your grades or with food. You might be someone who feels alone and carries old narratives that you aren't good enough and maybe even have thoughts that you are inherently bad. These emotions and thoughts can be all consuming which can take you out of your life and cause you to engage in isolation, numbing behaviors, disordered eating, and/or people pleasing.

I work collaboratively with my clients to define and explore the things they want to change. Most of my clients come to therapy because something in their lives isn't working anymore. They want to let go of old habits and deepen their sense of well-being. I help my clients build skills that create the conditions for growth. These skills, practiced over time, allow my clients to connect more deeply with themselves and others, and move more purposefully into the lives they choose. My goal is to facilitate my clients' movement beyond symptom relief to real and lasting change.

Greetings! In my work as a psychotherapist, I stand along side individuals who are struggling with anxiety spectrum disorders (including trauma-related disorders), mood disorders, difficulty with regulating emotion and/or tolerating distress, marital or relationship concerns, disordered eating, infertility, and chronic health issues. I believe the therapy relationship is a critical part of healing, which is supported by years of research. You can expect me to work with you in developing approaches to healing that fit your needs, comfort level and strengths.
