Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Maple Grove, MN

I enjoy working with individuals experiencing life adjustments, anxiety, depression, and trauma, couples struggling with communication, infidelity, disconnection in the relationship, sexual concerns, divorce or separation, and other life events. I have a special interest in working with women in areas of self-esteem, assertiveness, sexual wellbeing, perfectionism, and co-dependency.

I believe in incorporating a positive psychological and holistic approach to the individuals I serve. By incorporating an overall wellness and "whole mind/body" approach with individuals, I believe each person can get the best out of themselves through mental health therapy. I utilize evidenced based clinical counseling techniques such as ACT, Mindfulness, CBT , Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of sport counseling/psychology modalities into practice. Lastly, I take an individual approach to every person I treat, knowing that every person is different and deserves authentic, genuine, and exceptional mental health care.

If you're ready for a change, you're in the right place. I love being able to help my clients release ties that have kept them stuck or in pain. Together we will work to identify wellness goals, assist in building healthy relationships, and move you toward a stronger more vibrant life. My clients say that I am easy to talk to and authentic, compassionate yet challenging. I help my clients to gain insight and tools so they can move on to live a life they feel good about. I work with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples to solve immediate issues, like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life dissatisfaction.

I enjoy working with young adults and adults. I see therapy as a collaborative effort between the client and the clinician. I meet my clients exactly where they are mentally, and we walk together until they get their desired progress/healing. I provide therapeutic services to those experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, low self-esteem, and self-harm behaviors. I use Brainspotting, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Based Focused Therapy, Psychoeducation, Mindfulness-based stress reduction, and Family-based Interventions.

It takes courage to be seen during a time of difficulty and to seek out support in therapy. I strive to provide a safe, loving, non-judgmental environment in which growth can occur. Through therapy clients learn appropriate coping skills, learn new approaches for addressing their challenges, and learn how to communicate their thoughts and feelings. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities from play and art to help young children communicate what they may struggle to do verbally, to cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and narrative therapy for older clients.

My experience has been working with adolescents and adults who are having a difficult time managing anxiety and/or depression or adjusting to life's stressors which can feel overwhelming at times. I also work with those who have experienced invalidation and childhood emotional neglect which have resulted in Complex Trauma. Working with young adults on life transitions is also something I provide and enjoy. I offer a nonjudgmental perspective and a helping voice. Please leave email if you voicemail. Telehealth, daytime appointments available M-Th at this time.

I am fascinated by the infinite variety of ways people can get themselves in and out of trouble. I work with adults to overcome roadblocks, better understand themselves, and otherwise self-actualize. My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, anger, pride, trauma, self-esteem, self-efficacy, unwanted chemical and behavioral patterns, among others. I value empowerment highly in the therapeutic process and work well with motivated clients.

I've worked with people of all ages across the lifespan. Throughout my career I have worked with people of all ages managing experiences of depression, anxiety, addiction, technology, trauma, and abuse. I am "geek" and LBGTQ+ friendly and have experience with people from diverse cultural, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. I also have extensive experience working with people and families managing chronic illness, hospice and palliative care, and end of life decisions. With affirmation, practical education, and clinical guidance, I help individuals gain personal insights, nurture relationships, and manage difficulties in their lives.

When times are challenging, you may not feel like you have the energy or strength to navigate challenges or be your true self. You may be experiencing anxiety and/or depression symptoms that make it difficult to function daily. You may want to learn new coping techniques because the ones you know and have implemented are not effective. I currently work with adults (18+) who are experiencing depression and/or anxiety symptoms and apply CBT and DBT-based approaches through person-centered talk-therapy. If you want to be seen, heard, and understood, contact me through the email or phone number provided.

Depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, loss, and traumatic events all have the ability to disrupt our lives, interfering with a clear focus on what is truly fulfilling and rewarding. I believe that each person has the ability to deeply connect with their unique life perspective to clear the confusion, develop their own internal wisdom, and begin living life more fully.

Working with clients ages 18+, I operate from a heavily client centered and eclectic lens, preferring to meet clients where they’re at rather than using one specific modality of treatment. I have training in DBT, CBT , trauma work, substance use disorders, and beyond and experience treating adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. My areas of professional focus include - life transitions - personal growth - career development - medical professional stress and burnout.

A client who would be a good fit who is an individual or family that want to go to therapy. I don't have preferences when it comes to ages and genders or sexuality. Although kids and teens have gravitated towards me because of my playful nature, and creativity in sessions. I find myself drawn to working with individuals who often people please, carry feelings of guilt, self doubt, and low self esteem. I enjoy watching others identify boundaries and help implement them. I work best with people who are open and curious in trying new things. Let collaborate and reach those goals!

I know that doing a simple search for a therapist in your area seems like a small thing, but it's the first step that is going to lead to massive improvements in your life. I'm here to help you with the next steps. Odds are you found me because something just isn't going right. Or maybe a lot of things aren't going right. Issues like anxiety, depression, and interpersonal problems can make the struggles of daily life seem nearly unbearable. It can seem like even the sunny days are obscured by a cloud that dulls any sense of contentment. I hear you. The good news is, I can help!

Throughout life, people face various obstacles. These obstacles may feel overwhelming and sometimes, insurmountable. Working with a therapist who is a good fit is a magnificent strength to help during these times. I work to create a safe environment to foster development of healthy communication skills and emphasize how to utilize support systems and healthy coping skills. I have experience working with adolescents in a school setting, in day treatment, in group therapy, and in an outpatient individual treatment setting. I have also worked with adults in a day treatment setting in addition to outpatient therapy.

My specialties are school-aged children and adolescents and their families, and young adults, but I do trauma-focused therapy with all ages. My clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and transitional stress, whether that be exploring or revealing sexuality and/or gender identity, developmental transitions, managing increasing expectations of early adulthood, or navigating life changes. I believe in the importance of sharing knowledge about the mind-body relationship of trauma, panic, anxiety, and depression, to help my clients understand what they have been experiencing and why, and how to move forward.
