Therapists in Mounds View, MN

I provide guidance and support to improve relationships and overall well-being. Whether you're facing trauma, relationship struggles, sexless relationships, sex addiction, or anger management, I offer a safe and judgment-free space for you to share your concerns. I'm dedicated to helping you find understanding and harmony in your relationships. With cultural humility, I bridge the gap between diverse backgrounds, such as war veterans, trauma survivors, domestic abuse survivors, immigrants, refugees, and the Muslim and South Asian communities. I provide the tools, knowledge, and support for healing and growth.

I have experience working with clients who are seeking to find and heal themselves after suffering trauma of any kind. I am certified in trauma focused therapy (Narrative Exposure Therapy) which is neurologically based and proven to help trauma victims. I also have experience working with families in helping them resolve issues both as a result of trauma or substance use.

People who see me for individual therapy are usually facing turmoil either due to current stressors or past issues that keep surfacing and prevent them from moving forward in their lives. Often, people tell me that they feel "stuck" and need direction/guidance. By working with me they identify their inner strengths and capabilities; they feel confident in themselves to take on challenges that come their way. In therapy we identify things that should change because what clients are doing currently is not helping. I problem solve and discuss ways to make their present meaningful. My strength based approach resonates with clients.

I'd be a good fit if you're motivated, curious, open, flexible in thought, committed to the therapy process, and willing to do hard work. I'll work hard, too. If your needs and goals are to feel calmer, have a more integrated sense of self, feel more secure and confident, to grow and expand your thought processes, to organize past life events, develop/increase spirituality, work towards independence, and promote holistic well-being through the use of evidenced-based techniques and theories, I'd be a good fit! I also love pets. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats. I have training and certification in pet loss and grief. I value all relationships.

Albert Einstein remarked, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving”. At various times in our life we find ourselves challenged to do just that as we struggle to make it through the day. Using a strengths-based perspective, I will collaborate with you to understand and confront your unique challenges and empower you to find the inner strength and resources to facilitate positive healing change so you can keep moving forward. I firmly believe that while change is inevitable, being paralyzed by change is not and you have the power to construct your own unique pathway to optimal health and wellness.
