Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

If you are feeling sad, mad, scared, having relationship problems, or sexual difficulties, psychotherapy can be helpful. Psychotherapy (or therapy or counseling) is a way to assess your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and determine what is working for you and what could be better. Therapy is about change. What would you like to change in your life? Just because a person comes to therapy, it does not mean that he/she has a mental problem. Many people come to therapy to simply better their lives and help their families.

Therapy is all about learning, growing, and healing. Your feelings let you know if something isn't right on the inside. Events from our years growing up with our imperfect parents, siblings, or caregivers give us wounds in our hearts. We carry those wounds into adulthood, and the feelings and psychological walls that go with them. The way to help your heart and mind feel better is to heal and move through the painful events from the past, coming to a place of acceptance. Let's work together to help you find new ways of interacting with your loved ones through learning new insights, reprocessing, growth and healing.

The goal of psychotherapy is to alleviate distress through talk therapy rather than medication. It helps the client become more self aware by identifying feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes. The client then has a better understanding of self, and the cause of the emotional turmoil. The therapy process continues as the client gains knowledge about how to cope in a more positive way by changing thought patterns, developing skills and focusing on resolution.

We approach psycholotherapy in a unique way. We offer clients a new perspective on old problems. We teach skills with therapy and encourage clients to develop skills for coping and healing. We allow clients a safe and comfortable space to practice these coping skills and support them in their learning. Part of what makes us unique in how we approach therapy is our therapists are informed in trauma and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. We infuse every session with validation and accountability. We offer in-office services to the Hinckley, MN and Dultuh, MN areas; and E-services to Minnesota and Indiana.

I practice a form of psychotherapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or ACT). It is based on the idea that thoughts and feelings are just a normal part of life and something we don't have much control over. Because of that, we need to spend less energy trying to control our thoughts and feelings and more energy working on our actual behavior and values. I will help you learn to overcome the difficult thoughts and feelings that come up for you while you pursue the things that are most valuable and meaningful to you.
