Teletherapy for Minnesota

Have you experienced emotional, physical, or sexual boundary violations in childhood and now have troubles with a range of issues like establishing lasting relationships and trust, strong and changing emotions or emotional numbness and dissocitation, troubles with sexual intimacy, anxiety or depression? I specialize in working with people with a history of complex trauma, family trauma, developmental trauma, or childhood abuse. Particularly when abuse happens earlier in life or repeatedly, those suffering may develop various symptoms, including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, self harm, eating disorders, and anger issues

I enjoy working with people from all different populations and paths in life. Some of the areas that I have the experience in is working with individuals who have substance use disorder, college students, young adults and members of the LGBTQIA family.

I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma or verbal, emotional, physical or sexual abuse in their families or close relationships. Particularly when abuse happens earlier in life or over a long period, those suffering may develop various symptoms including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, self harm, substance use, and anger issues. I view symptoms as ways of coping that have helped you survive so far. We collaborate in therapy to help you find new ways to relate to yourself and others, and create a more meaningful and satisfying life, however that might look for you.

You are feeling alone and overwhelmed. You are anxious and the negative thoughts in your head are becoming louder and more difficult to control. Your sleep is poor and when you wake you feel tired already. You want help from a holistic perspective. I will teach you how to manage your mind and your nervous system so that you can function better during the day and sleep well at night. I will help you heal the root causes of your anxiety. Your relationships and your health will improve. A "fresh look" look at your difficulties might bring hope into a situation that you have considered to be hopeless.

I help women use the wisdom of their own bodies to heal from traumas large and small. I believe unrecognized trauma is the core and cause of much suffering women experience in daily life. I also believe, no matter your past experiences or your story, that you have the innate ability to feel whole again.

I believe people are basically competent, come to therapy because their usual coping skills are not working with problems. I am actively involved: therapy is a working partnership in which we review all your clues and then find solutions that fit for your specific needs. I believe in the healing qualities of relationships. I have trained in Pia Mellody's PIT Model to work with people in recovery from childhood trauma, addictions and relationship problems who are struggling with anxiety, depression and other emotional stresses. I am currently only accepting private pay for new clients.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have a deep understanding of how our relationships impact and are impacted by our emotional and mental well-being. I help adults and couples learn how to connect emotionally, navigate conflict and communication barriers fairly, and develop authentic and compassionate ways to attune. I have helped many intercultural couples design a road map when there isn’t one in place. I am also passionate about working with developmental trauma, inner-child wounding, and attachment injuries, in order to help you become the person, partner, parent, child, community member or friend you desire to be.
