Are you and your partner(s) fighting? or drifting apart? Does your mind race and keep you from sleeping, concentrating or enjoying hobbies? Do you feel so "blah" it is hard to manage your daily responsibilities? Maybe you are wandering in the fog of grief and loss, or feel overwhelmed by the demands of a big life transition. Perhaps you are struggling to care for children or aging parents. Or you might be seeking to more fully embrace your LGBTQIA+ identity or find a supportive community. Maybe you are just looking for a fresh perspective as you consider how to create a more satisfying way of life.

I like to have a phone call before we meet so that you can get to know me a bit, I feel it's a much easier step than meeting in person for the first time with you not knowing what to expect.
I strive to create a strong sense of connection with each of my clients. Most importantly, I want you to feel you are in a safe and nurturing space and know that I respect and value you and your unique experience without judgment. My approach is grounded in compassion, empathy, and evidence-based practices, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work to identify and address barriers to growth, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience. My goal is to empower you to overcome challenges, build meaningful connections, and live a life aligned with your values and goals.

I am currently offering both in person &/or telehealth sessions for your convenience.
Have you had a recent change in your life and want a safe person to talk with to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to your life. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc) or one you wanted to be on but it’s more stressful or different than what you thought (attending college or a new job). If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are capable of change.

I have nearly 10 years of experience in the mental health field, with careers ranging from community and residential mental health to leading mental health groups in a substance use treatment setting. I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds and experiences. With that, I do not feel as if there is an ideal client, as everyone deserves a therapeutic, trusting relationship.

I seek to create a therapeutic space that validates my clients’ identities and lived experiences. I believe both you and I have expertise and insight to bring to the therapeutic relationship. I practice from an integrated cognitive-behavioral and existential approach. I help clients learn skills, explore and express emotions and needs, and create and enact goals towards personal growth and healing. I also have training in Brainspotting (a brain-body intervention used for treating trauma and other emotional processing), Emotionally Focused Therapy (a relational approach based on attachment theory), and ERP for OCD.

I look forward to working with clients to collaborate and support changes they're wanting to make. I have been able to treat individuals with challenging symptoms who may not have been properly diagnosed and subsequently, have not received appropriate treatment. Many of my clients have never learned how to cope with intrusive and sometimes disturbing thoughts. The therapy I provide empowers clients with the skills needed to feel in control of their anxiety, impulsiveness and unhealthy habits. My clients will learn how to manage unwanted thoughts and to abandon coping through rituals, escape and avoidance behaviors.

Do you or your child feel lost, lonely, or disconnected and ready to find growth and connection? I am passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults and find the uniqueness of each client an asset. I believe in the quote I use as a tagline "Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely." It brings up the circumstance as a fact, but also the power to create change in how we look at it and grow from our experiences, mindfully. I guide my clients (and their parents) who are looking to make positive changes in their lives, need empathy, and guidance, to aid them get to a safe and secure place/play therapy room.

I am grateful for the gift of working with each of my clients as they navigate life's path. I work to provide a supportive and open place to connect with individuals and to allow space for deeper work, particularly around trauma, anxiety, depression, identity work, and life transitions. Bringing my authentic self to session is also always a priority. Work-wise, I'm a social worker and founded Virta Therapy Collective after working in clinical leadership at a trauma center, in an outpatient practice, at a domestic violence shelter, as a clinical director in a nature based therapeutic program, and in community mental health.

I currently see clients via telehealth and in person.
Welcome to Through the Woods Counseling! I am a feminist therapist licensed in the state of Minnesota to treat co-occurring disorders - that’s just a way of saying I’m trained in working with folks that struggle with more than one issue at a time. Think things like anxiety and alcohol abuse, trauma and depression, stress management and ADHD, and so on… I believe mental health diagnoses can be helpful in giving us a starting point for evidence based ways to improve our mental wellness, but they are also labels rooted in and created by classically oppressive systems, so diagnosis is not a primary focus of sessions.

Clients seeing me will benefit from developing further insight into their strengths, a fostering (or strengthening) of personal accountability, and nuanced treatment specific to each person. I offer nonjudgmental support to others with a variety of concerns and integrate humor, empathy, and openness into each of my sessions. Clients can also expect knowledge of neurobiological functioning, family systems awareness, and a trauma informed lens to be woven into my practice.

Overwhelming self-doubt can surface quickly and powerfully at any age, especially during big changes. A new school or job, personal loss or rejection, living on your own for the first time, can all impact your sense of safety, worthiness and connection. The urge to isolate, to not be a "burden" to others, is common, but being alone in your thoughts just makes it worse. I offer a private space to share your struggles, fears and current coping methods without being met with judgment or an agenda. We will work together to build your sense of self, agency and communication skills, and deeper trust in your ability to navigate change.

Hi! A few things to know about me - I believe each person is doing the best they can with what they have, and have a passion for working with those who wish to learn how to best use their strengths effectively to reach their goals. I enjoy working with adults seeking to learn more about themselves, including the patterns that may have stopped working for them. Few things feel more honorable than sitting with those who are open to challenge themselves, while honoring their needs, wants and goals. I love working with those with the desire to continue growing through every chapter of life.

For in person visits, the office as been arranged to maximize distance.
Just like every client is different, every therapist is different, and it's important to find someone who you like working with. We might be a good match if you are someone who is willing to try new things, as a lot of therapy is thinking about things in a different way. We could be a good fit if it's important to you that you can talk to your therapist about anything and not feel judged. I value creating a shame-free environment where clients can truly speak. Also we might be a good match if you enjoy humor in your sessions. Therapy shouldn't be all miserable. I aim for 25% miserable, tops.
