Therapy and Counseling in 55330: Elk River, MN.

As a therapist my approach is non-judgmental, collaborative, and optimistic; I strive to create a safe space for you to be vulnerable and your authentic self. You can expect me to encourage you to think and behave in new ways, and help deepen your emotional experience.

Therapists can't be good at everything. Couples are my specialty. I'm marriage and relationship friendly, so I won't push you toward a crisis or a divorce.

I specialize in helping couples in MN. With over 15 years experience as a individual, couples and family therapist, and as a graduate of University of Wisconsin – Stout, I am enthusiastic about helping couples learn how to create their ideal relationship.

(THERAPIST-COACH, AUTHOR, SPEAKER-PRESENTER, 80% COUPLES IMPROVEMENT RATE) My personal mission as both a PhD Psychologist and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist is to help people make real change in their life and overcome self-limiting patterns.

I focus on my client's strengths and core values, and collaborate with them to find their own answers. Clients often say after working with me that they feel encouraged, empowered and able to face their fears.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship, family and parenting issues. I work with children, teens, adults and families. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I will listen to your needs and help you on your journey.

Connected relationships can be a path to wellbeing. I help repair relationships with self, partners, family members, and food. Start creating the life you want by learning to connect in meaningful, authentic ways.

You feel like an 'other'. You tend to prioritize other people’s needs over your own. You are highly compassionate and get overwhelmed by strong emotions. You likely feel alone and misunderstood. You are seeking someone you feel can help you with this journey.

You are not crazy. I understand that you have likely been told that YOU are the problem. Perhaps you feel broken, hopeless and scared. I wager you fear reaching out, that someone like me may not get it. I want you to know that I DO believe you and I can help.
