Therapists in Scott County, MN

As an art therapist and clinician, my job is to help guide a client down the pathway of life. Art therapy interventions provide an opening into the conversation and help with the processing of feelings, emotions, and aid with problesolving. Art therapy teaches coping skills, reduces stress, and increases self awareness. The art visual helps the client move towards symptom management, self-empowerment, self awareness, and increased self-esteem.

In my practice, I work from a person-centered approach and have worked with a variety of different experiences. Some areas that I’ve had the most experience with are with families of high-risk youth, adolescents, parenting issues, survivors of sexual violence and emotionally focused couples-therapy.

As a mom of teenagers, I know how difficult it is to be a parent. Life is hard to navigate as an adult, especially these past few years, and then layer in trying to support our children, we can feel like we are failing, or feel tapped out. Feelings of depression, stress, anxiety, and loneliness are at epidemic levels for teens and adults. And while we can't change all the big issues going on around us in the world, we can focus on ourselves and the small steps we can take to build our resilience back up each day.

What exactly IS trauma? Trauma is any experience that the person deems negative and continues to live in the shadow of the event(s). If you feel trapped, like the trauma is following you, within you, or pops up at random, I can help. I love helping people to get "unstuck," so that they are no longer being controlled by their past traumas. I offer two life-changing therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy). These therapies help clients transform themselves from symptomatic to symptom-free, giving people a sense of peace, safety and the freedom to truly live life.
