Find a Therapist in Farmington, Minnesota.

Within my private practice, I offer individual adult psychotherapy. My approach while working with you is to see you as a unique individual. Developing a therapeutic relationship that can assist you in coming to know, learn and understand your internal world. Our internal world is made up of conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings, fears and anxieties that do impact our external choices. My treatment approach is to help you open up more awareness of yourself internally to be able to grow more skills to care for yourself in different ways. I believe we develop symptoms when our internal selves feel stuck and unable to grow. Therapy is about fostering growth.

You are needing a change. It is time to prioritize you. You no longer want to live as you have been. You might not know what the path moving forward looks like. And though this change is positive, it might feel scary or overwhelming to you. It is hard to know where to begin these shifts. I understand you might feel hesitant, but I invite you to choose you and to reach out. I can and want to help.

I provide support and practical feedback to help individuals and couples effectively address personal and relationship challenges. I integrate cutting edge techniques built to improve your relationship and take it to places you doubted were possible. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual, couple and family to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

There are many approaches to psychotherapy. As a PhD psychologist and marriage–family therapist for over 28 years my approach has been highly influenced by the executive coaching and consulting work I've done in the business world where there is a high demand for results. Many clients have given feedback that I'm much more active and involved compared to therapists they've seen in the past, and they appreciate this rather than just sitting back and listening without much comment. I have a very strong desire and commitment to help every client that I see make major changes in their life leading to greater fulfillment and happiness—this is what I strive for with every individual!

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

The craft of psychotherapy is part science and part artistry. I am informed by current research and also my extensive clinical experience (35 years) to build a solid therapeutic relationship with you. Once this occurs the trust will exist to allow us to create unique solutions your concerns. I take a cognitive behavioral approach, but find it helpful at times to explore your past as a way to help get "unstuck". I help clients to learn to better deal with emotions, to be assertive and to build self-confidence to feel better. I work with a wide variety of problems - see my web page for more details. My therapeutic style is engaging, warm, sometimes humorous and down to earth.

The goal of my psychotherapy practice is to create a safe place for clients to learn how to change patterns that no longer work for them. I see each of my clients as uniquely molded by past and present influences, and I endeavor to understand the impact these influences have on my clients' lives. I use an approach of curiosity and compassion to help my clients better understand themselves, and gain self-acceptance. I accept my clients for where they are at, and I commit to helping clients get to where (and who and what) they want to be.

If you are like many victims of Narcissistic Abuse, you might find yourself scared and hesitant to reach out to a therapist. Perhaps you are worried that someone like me might tell you that you truly are the problem. Or, maybe you have had negative experiences and felt dismissed, minimized and unseen in your experiences. I want you to know that I believe you. There is a way forward through all of this pain. I have helped others in similar situations and I would love to be of service to you. I invite you to snoop my website. You are welcome to email me or if you are feeling ready, directly schedule our first appointment via the schedule link.

James Hillman once said, "we've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we overassume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

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.

I work with older adolescents and adult women in Minnesota doing online counseling. I lead with empathy and seek to understand your past, your current symptoms and struggles and what you are hoping life will look like in the future. Together we will work on processing your feelings in conjunction with giving you skills that will help you cope with your current situation.

Psychotherapy can include individual therapy, couples therapy, or family therapy and address a variety of issues such as depression, relationship issues, anxiety, life changes, etc. Depending on what you are looking for in therapy, we will work together to come up with a customized treatment plan for your individual situation and your goals. As part of this, we will explore how your family history, childhood, and important relationships are impacting you today. I will help you to develop coping strategies that use mindfulness, relaxation, behavioral changes, and emotional regulation.

I am a relational therapist who works from a narrative perspective. That means that I preference the knowledge and experience of the people who chose to work with me. While I can offer tools, theories and techniques to make the changes you want in your life, our work together will always be centered around your personal values and preferences. I take great care to work at a pace that is right for you and on goals that you identify. I use warmth, humor and curiosity to create an impactful therapeutic experience.

I'll help you explore what's getting in the way of living the life you want, and support you as you start experiencing more of what's important to you. You'll gain insight into your personal challenges and learn useful tools for managing yourself, your relationships and your problems. My philosophy is that our past experiences and the ways we've learned to deal with stress and relationships often leave us unprepared to cope with current issues. We tend to rely on old habits to solve problems and end up feeling frustrated or disappointed. With support, you'll discover your capacity to feel more comfortable with yourself and share that with others.

My approach to psychotherapy is to collaborate with my clients. My first goal is to understand your values, viewpoints, what you want and what you don't want. Most of us have not really put these concepts into words yet, so beginning right away, this can be very helpful. The next step is to identify the barriers in front of us. These are always present when we feel 'stuck', and they can be external or internal. Find out what is keeping you from your goals and dreams, and start living your best life!

Psychotherapy helps individuals to understand more of the underlying reasons, contributors and factors of life struggles. People are not the same, so every therapist and treatment plan is not the same! I work with my clients on those areas and goals they feel they want to work on, collaborating with my clients on what feels right for them and what direction they want to go. I am not the "knower of all," as time and time again it is shown YOU are the expert of YOUR life!
