Find a Therapist in Osseo, Minnesota.

Research supports that people change through the therapeutic relationship. Regardless of techniques or training, the most important variable is the relationship between therapist and client. It is a place where, with a good therapist, clients can say whatever they want without being judged. There are few places in life where people can experience that. When we have started to talk about the problem, we are already starting to change.

Therapy can help with a number of different issues. We offer a systemic approach to understanding problems. In other words, what is happening in your relationships, home, school, or community that is impacting your mental health? In addition, how is what you are dealing with affecting the relationships you have? In discovering this, we can move forward with how to manage feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, or other mental health issues.

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.

Through this process, you can clarify your needs, strengthen self-awareness, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life. With the right support, meaningful change becomes possible—at a pace that respects your unique path.
