Contact me when you are ready to start! Together we can identify old schematics, patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you, causing anxiety, depression or overwhelm, and learn to implement strength-based, practical new skills to walk on your new path in life.
I believe that we constantly transition from one stage in life to another, often needing assistance: child to teenager; single to married; individual to parent. I love to work with highly motivated clients who long to achieve their goals. Whether you were referred, followed the suggestion of friends, or simply wanted to explore options around therapy, I am glad you're giving me the opportunity to simplify this process for you. In a world of high professional and personal demands at times we need support to properly thrive. In Law Enforcement or Active Military? I have worked extensively w/ both. Text/call, email for appointment

When life gives you challenges the process of managing those challenges can be real difficult. Having someone to process and find solutions to real life issues can be helpful and supportive. I have a very well rounded background in both adult and child therapy. I have worked with Oncology clients, clients in crisis, couples, families and children with different emotional needs. When I meet a client it is important to meet them where they are and develop a strong therapeutic relationship.

If you've noticed that your child/teen isn’t as happy or social as they used to be, they’ve started making risky choices with friends, they’ve become more irritable, or recently experienced a big transition, then therapy may be a good fit. Parents often come to me with worries that their family has become disconnected, their teen struggles with low self-esteem due to social media comparisons, or their child struggles with academic pressures. I work primarily with elementary through high school ages and all of the ups and downs that occur in between by providing individual and family therapy.

I hold a personnel belief that the client needs to tell their story, feel safe in doing so, and form a bond of trust with their therapist. I have worked in mental health for 17 years. My background started in Criminal Justice. My first Masters degree is in this field, and continued to a Maters in Counseling. There was always one common thread, people were broken. A broken person loses trust, in both people and themselves. Building the therapeutic rapport is the beginning of trust, and the first step to healing. Mood and emotions can be deceptive, people want to give up, isolate, may be angry or dysfunctional. Take the first step.

Currently accepting new clients for telehealth in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Florida as well as Supervisees in MN who are seeking LMFT/LPC/LPCC licensure. My clients are often either grieving, caring for a parent or spouse, or experiencing their own chronic or terminal illness. Oftentimes I help families have hard conversations about end-of-life decisions and potential moves into residential long-term care. It's true, there is always something more pleasant to talk about. And these conversations need to happen, too.

Strength-Based Therapists

How does strength-based therapy work?

During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.

Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?

Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.

How long does strength-based therapy last?

There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.

How effective is strength-based therapy?

Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
