Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Watonwan County, MN

As a relational therapist with previous experience as a youth worker, I believe most suffering is caused by a failure of belonging. When trauma or other significant difficulties occur, we can take on beliefs and ways of being that are bound by the feeling that we are alone and unable to access the world of belonging, both within ourselves and in relationships. We find it almost impossible to honor all our parts and to feel free to accept them. My aim as a therapist, then, is to create a space where a client’s experiences may fully belong and they may feel understood and valued for who they are in the way they choose to be.

As a psychologist and internationally trained psychoanalyst, I am deeply committed to addressing mental health with focus on the psychological impacts of Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Emotional Disturbance, Grief, Gender dysphoria, Relationships, Family Conflict, Racial Identity, Self Esteem, Suicidal Ideation.
