Mental health therapy Welcome to the first step in seeking therapy. My approach is influenced by attachment theory, neuroscience research and mindfulness.

It can be a difficult decision, though it can be incredibly healing and I will provide a space for you to be heard and understood. Stress, anxiousness, feeling low or distracted can impact our lives in ways we don't want them, and seeking therapy can help. My areas of interest include trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and self esteem. I have an interest in supporting individuals that have experienced trauma, whether it was a one-time event or a long history of complex traumas starting in childhood. This can include having a history of being involved in an abusive relationship (physically, emotionally or psychologically or all of these together), dealing with a parent's substance abuse while growing up, being bullied as a child or adult, or observing traumatic incidences happening to someone else among many other situations. I offer the therapy of Brainspotting, which can identify and release negative experiences. I will work collaboratively with you and implement therapy techniques that will match your needs and comfort. I strive to provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment for you to explore challenges of life, and assist in developing your desired goals. In addition to the above areas of practice, I also have a special interest working with the highly gifted and talented population. I will provide a space to explore the unique emotional and social challenges that may be affecting you, while also recognizing and supporting your strengths.

This type of abuse can go under the radar for a long time in a relationship. Once out of this relationship, it can be healed though. I provide the therapy of Brainspotting to assist in healing the trauma that the victim often endures.

Many, many people are experiencing collective trauma right now. Try to be gentle with yourself, take actions when you are able (sometimes that helps relieve stress), and honor your rest.

The level of trauma that is occurring, or anticipated by people, as no one knows when they will be affected on a daily basis, will affect our communities. Please seek help and support. Here is a resource that can be utilized.
I am a trauma therapist and am accepting new clients as well.

We are heartbroken. For families living in fear under ongoing operations—and for those supporting these families—the emotional and mental trauma is deep and compounded by repeated aggression, intimidation, and harassment. We call for ICE to leave so we can begin to heal, feel safe again, and live without the constant threat of violence.

We thank our supporters who spoke out, organized, and advocated alongside NAMI Minnesota and other organizations to help make this possible.

I would like to share this link as a resource to help Minnesotans.

Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

I want to provide this information for us all. Community can be a buffer for these poor kids. Don’t underestimate the act of caring. 🫂

CPTSD stands for Complex PTSD. This is a reputable organization and they are offering an online Creative Group. This can be a good way to try and process some of the emotions and collective trauma many in our community are experiencing. It’s a small thing that can offer at least a little relief to the nervous system for a period of time.
My heart aches for so many people. 💔

Creativity can be an integral part of healing from trauma. Our Weekly Creative Group is a safe space to come and express your creativity and help encourage others in a warm, validating atmosphere.
