12 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and have been providing counseling services for 11 years in both face to face and virtual platforms. During my time I have been able to assist many individuals struggling with a wide variety of struggles including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, severe and persistent mental health symptoms, relational and family concerns, and substance abuse issues. My approach to counseling in each and every session is one that is focused on meeting the individual where they are. I am focused on making this process warm and comforting for you as I understand that the concerns being brought to the sessions are ones causing great discomfort. The theoretical approaches I utilize are Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Behavioral Therapy. Again, all of this is just saying that together we will begin processing through the concerns being presented and identify ways in which you can begin working through them. I understand that it takes a great deal of courage for one to reach out and ask for help and I commend you on taking this step. I am so blessed that you are choosing to allow me to be apart of this journey with you and am looking forward to meeting you. At this time I am able to provide services via the chat sessions and messages. I respond in the chat Monday through Friday checking in several times per day.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked with thousands of people over the past 15 years. I work best with people who have a desire for self growth, want to increasing their self awareness and believe in a higher power to assist with achieving this. We are so much more than our thoughts and emotions. My approach primarily focuses on developing self awareness by teaching people how to understand their thoughts, behaviors and emotions. I use a variety of styles that focus on Positive Psychology including but not limited to Hypnotherapy, Eneagram, Inner Child and Parts Work, ACT, CBT, Solution Focused and Existential . We unconsciously think, behave and feel certain ways about ourselves, others and/or the world and want to change but don't know how. We also over think trying to fix an issue, however, it clearly does not work and often does more harm than good. I am passionate about the use of insight oriented techniques such as mindfulness, meditation and hypnosis. I became Certified as a Hypnotherapist by the National Guild of Hypnotists in 2016 and have extensive clinical hypnosis training through the Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis . I have over 200 hours of education training in various hypnosis methods. I have been utilizing hypnotherapy in my mental health practice and have witnessed incredible change that people were unable to achieve through talk therapy alone . Hypnotherapy assists with uncovering and healing the unconscious blocks that contribute to unwanted, repeating patterns.
