Teletherapy for Saint Paul, MN

I believe in the power of collaboration and strive to cultivate a strong therapeutic alliance with each client. 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.

My goal is to help every child, adolescent, and/or young adult touched by ADHD navigate through their specific challenges, and find their unique areas of brilliance. I have been practicing as a child and adolescent psychologist for over twenty years. I work closely with youth, parents, educators, and families. One of my primary areas of expertise is neuropsychological testing, which has given me great insight into how children and adolescents learn. I founded my own organization, ADHD&U, in 2019 after writing a book about raising my own son with ADHD (Raising Will: Surviving the Brilliance and Blues of ADHD).

I enjoy working with kids 3 and older and adults struggling with a variety of issues. Common issues kids have who come to therapy are: developmental issues, barriers to emotional expression, behavioral or communication issues at school, transitions, parenting relationships, peer relationships and family changes. Adults come in to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress and trauma. My goal as a mental health therapist is to prioritize collaboration by providing guidance and support in a safe environment. I have been trained to do assessments for children 0-5 years old (DC 0-5 assessment).

You are considering divorce and fear how it will affect your children. Or you're divorced and met someone and want to blend your families, but are worried about the difficulties that blending brings. These family transitions are full of significant challenges such as grief over the breakup of the family, confusion over stepparent roles and responsibilities, hostile co-parenting relationships, jealousy of ex-spouses or stepchildren, and more. You want happy and healthy relationships with partners, exes, children, and stepchildren. You hope for a sense of "we-ness" as a new family unit and crave peace and balance in the future.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker providing psychotherapy to children and adults in the Minneapolis/S area. I started practicing psychotherapy at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. During my time there, I was trained in helping both children and adults build coping skills to be able to help themselves through life's many unique challenges. Currently, I am training at the Institute for Clinical Social Work in Chicago where I will earn a PhD with a specialty in Psychodynamic therapy. This therapy helps children and adults process and create meaning from past life events within a safe, therapeutic relationship.

Our adolescent and childhood years are filled with a lot of social and emotional learning. This is a time where we learn who we are, how to handle life changes and the intricacies of peer relationships. I provide a warm and safe space that allows young people to feel seen, heard and respected. I also recognize and value the participation of families in the therapeutic process and welcome parents/guardians into session to strengthen relationships (when this makes sense for the client).

I believe that everything happens for a reason. As humans, we may not always understand that reason. When we don’t understand, we try to create meaning. You and I together will strive to collaborate logical meaning to your world and your experiences, by meeting you where you are and helping you gain the skills and insight you need to understand your experiences. My therapeutic style is a person-centered approach, as you have the roadmap to your past experiences and future possibilities. I am an empathetic therapist as I strive to be understanding of your experiences, and your way of thinking.

Finding a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable is essential for a successful outcome. Clients have told me that I am easy to connect with and tend to put people at ease quickly. Creating a warm, respectful and non-judgmental atmosphere is my first priority. I also feel that laughter/humor can be very therapeutic when appropriate!

Clients control music volume on their phones with their calm attention levels with free biofeedback equipment I provide. It is easy mindfulness therapy for kids and adults.

We work with individuals of all ages with anxiety, mood and related issues across the lifespan. When working with younger children, we meet with parents without the child for the first evaluation session, and then meet with the child individually during the second evaluation session.Our center also routinely works with college-aged and young adult clients. Here, our therapists incorporate components of therapy geared specifically to this age group: identity development, fostering independence and autonomy, and helping clients navigate the challenges experienced during their transition into adulthood.

I have openings for Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturday am. I have 13 years of experience working with children and families, especially young children. I've worked with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, behavior issues, ADHD (mostly in children), attachment issues, adoption, parenting issues, and trauma. I also enjoy working with adults of all ages.

I have immediate openings for both in-person and Telehealth appointments! I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults on managing mental health symptoms. I work with clients on learning therapeutic devices such as coping skills, symptom management, emotion identification, cognitive restructuring, and self-care.

It's our reality that human beings struggle at times along the road of life. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and families get over and through these life obstacles. I have been honored and amazed to witness people conquer fears, addictions and harmful experiences that have left them tired and gasping on that road, and once again pick themselves up and journey onwards.
