In Person Therapists in Merrlam Park, Saint Paul, MN
I have been in private practice since 1991 and have previously worked in medical, rehabilitation, college counseling, and community mental health settings.
I know that asking for help is not easy. Trusting someone you don't know with very personal information requires a leap of faith. Understandably, you may want to know what to expect, should you decide to work with me.
Initially, I will work to identify the particular issues that you want to address and then collaborate with you to develop goals and strategies. Throughout the process, I will listen carefully, drawing out particular material for discussion and presenting new information to help you see yourself and your choices with a new perspective. I will suggest possible courses of action, recognizing that only you can decide whether to follow any suggestions that come from the counseling process.

I believe therapy can be a malleable space that meets clients where they are at and
continues to take shape alongside them as they grow. I seek to co-create a space with clients that is flexible to their individual needs as they move through various life stages. I am a collaborative therapist, and believe in following my client’s lead and their expertise. It is important to me to play to people's strengths, develop skills that facilitate growth, and honor the autonomy of my clients and their goals. I use a multicultural systematic lens to view how clients’ lived experiences are impacted by identity and social structures.

Hi, I'm a clinical psychologist and have spent the last 23 years providing DBT in the Twin Cities community; first during my doctoral internship, then for 15 years at the University of Minnesota Psychiatry Department, and now in my private practice. I have been trained in multiple variations of DBT by recognized experts in DBT.

My training and experience has prepared me for helping individuals with a history of and/or actively struggling with suicidal thoughts and ideation.

With more than a decade of experience in hospitals, clinics, and private practice, I am guided by the belief that there is more that’s right with people, than is wrong with people. There is much about the way we live that contributes to the feeling of disconnection and destabilization that so many of us feel. And yet, few of us were ever taught the skills to navigate the seemingly simple (but actually pretty complex) worlds that we live in.

Primarily working with adults and older adolescents; in person or tele-health offered.
Emotional wellness starts with learning how to be mindful and present within your own life. Opening up and asking for support isn't easy; I can certainly empathize. In the past, I prided myself on solving things on my own, which I thought was "healthy emotional independence." However, throughout my experiences and struggles, I found clearer insight and more strength having an ally to open up to, an objective individual to gain perspective. It's nice to have a champion AND a challenger to help through life's curveballs. I would be honored to accompany and provide support on the path toward the best version of you
