Trauma Focused Therapists in Plymouth, MN

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in my home office in Plymouth. I was Initially trained in the Bay Area and I've been practicing in Minneapolis since 2000. I specialize in relationship and marriage therapy, individual therapy, somatic trauma work for complex or developmental and emotional therapy and hypnotherapy. I have an art therapy certification from UC Berkeley and am involved in the arts. I work with individuals, couples, family and older adolescents.

I empower couples and individuals to overcome personal obstacles. Areas of special interest include couples and individuals coping with chemical addictions, anxiety & depression, grief & loss, and intimate relationships. I assist my clients to find an understanding of themselves in order to strengthen their connections and their relationships. With deep compassion and no judgment, I welcome all.

I seek to help people find hope and light in dark times. I love working within youth, young adults, and families to help mend concerns and disconnects within important relationships because relationships are a foundation of life. In addition to relationships I love working one-on-one to help clients find new ways to heal and cope with whatever their life situations may be: mental illness, life changes, grief, loss, transitions, and any other obstacle that is ever present in life today. Each person has their own story and I am humbled to help clients navigate theirs.

I believe in incorporating a positive psychological and "whole mind/body" approach to the individuals I serve. By utilizing 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 work with individuals of all ages: kids, adolescents, young adults, and families.
