Family Therapy in Bloomington, MN

Reaching out to a therapist is a bold move. It takes courage to begin the process of self exploration and discovery, and it takes a safe place to do that important work. I am committed to providing that safe space for my clients. I believe that the relationship between a therapist and client is a unique and healing one. It is two minds coming together to explore the ways in which current life stresses intersect with painful past experiences to create suffering. When a client feels respected and seen, they are able to grieve their past hurts and find new paths for coping.

As a therapist, I’m all about building you up. I want to give you tools to feel empowered. I want to help you gain the confidence to overcome anything. I like being creative with therapy and there are so many ways we can use therapy for self-discovery, for increasing self-love, and for building confidence about your self-worth.

Do you ever feel anxious or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with sadness, emptiness, low self-esteem or depression? Is your significant relationship, marriage or family hurting and in need of help? Are you struggling on the job or in your social life? Have you experienced past trauma that still affects you today? Do you engage in behaviors that are confusing and troubling? Are you facing a difficult life transition? You do not need to walk this path alone. We can help.

(Sorry, I am no longer able to accept new clients.) When clients come to me they are often overwhelmed, stressed out, discouraged, and experiencing significant self-doubt. I help people find calm, focus, motivation, and self-confidence as quickly and effectively as possible. I will challenge you to build on your strengths and expand your skills to get you moving forward in your life again. I am endlessly optimistic about your ability to create a life rich with honesty, meaning, self-reflection, and connection!

Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, and is a brave step in taking care of your own wants and needs in life. I deeply value the various aspects that make up the journeys of others, as we all have our own unique stories. Often through reflection, when we allow ourselves to slow down and notice what we are experiencing in the moment, true self discovery and capacity from within can be cultivated. With compassion and openness I walk beside my clients as they work toward relief and resolution.
