Grief Therapists in Minnetonka, MN

Grief is ever-present within our lives. Whether it’s an abrupt shift in our daily routine, a noticeable difference within ourselves, or a transition of our career, we experience it. We feel it after a change in our relationship, the loss of a pet, or, a heartbreaking death of a loved one. All change results in loss of some sort, and that which accompanies it, is grief . Grief can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and scared. We feel exposed and vulnerable. We begin to question ourselves and the world we are in. Whatever your grief , know that I will honor it.

I believe personal agency is key to finding meaning in distressing scenarios and growing from them. I use both Existential and solution-oriented approaches when engaging with clients and provide individuals, couples, and families with tools for self-awareness and self-empowerment through a mixture of theoretical models tailored to the client’s strengths and needs. I work to help clients establish more adaptive patterns of thinking with humor, empathy, and respect. While I will explore root causes of issues, I emphasize the importance of personal growth and identifying personal strengths.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and I have been working in this field for many years. I provide a wide range of mental health services including diagnostic assessments, individual, couple and family therapy. My main focus with clients is to create a safe, supportive, and positive therapeutic relationship so that healing and growth can occur. Areas of particular interest to me include life transitions, grief and loss , anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties.

I've been working with adults and teens for over 45 years. My approach is empathic, direct, and thoughtful. Given I have a wide background in my training, I adapt my therapeutic approach to your needs. I find that effective therapy is a collaborative approach where we work together to understand your concerns, their origins and most importantly what can be done to bring about both the internal and behavioral changes that will be beneficial to you. My goal in therapy is to help integrate your shame and vulnerabilities into a healthy identity grounded in self-esteem and pride.

Feel disconnected from others or dissatisfied with life? Feel like the promises that were made have not been kept? Many people feel disconnected right now and are struggling with finding a healthy balance to find connection again. I can help you with those daily struggles as well as facing painful issues from the past.

As an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) specialist, I work with those who have experienced trauma and the symptoms that arise from it. Struggles with relationships, a lack of motivation, and difficulties in navigating day to day challenges arise when past or present traumatic events make it hard to see progress. I can help you better understand why you may feel hopeless, sad or anxious by helping you to examine and process trauma. To get started, I offer a free 30-minute consultation for prospective clients to help determine if we might be a good fit.

Given the current state of the world it is quite normal to be anxious, discouraged, depressed and hopeless. Having someone to listen and support you can make a big difference in dealing with everyday life. Even when nothing external seems to change, I have found that feeling seen and heard is very valuable. My focus is to help you get relief from your pain and explore ways to cope with life’s ongoing challenges. We will discuss new life skills and attempt to find ways to appreciate and enjoy your life.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families.

Therapy is a unique opportunity to explore ourselves, & how we relate to others, in an intentional way. I’ve been providing therapy in private practice for 12+ years & believe a supportive therapeutic relationship is the foundation for a meaningful therapy experience. You can expect compassion, curiosity, & even humor to be a part of our work together. I love to support clients in both symptom reduction, as well as improved wellness & a better sense of self. I work with high achievers who are not used to taking time and space for their own care - college students, parents, executives, helping professions, etc.
