Finding the right therapist is an important and courageous step in the process of creating a more fulfilling life. I’m a licensed psychologist in Minnesota with over 25 years experience working with individuals, couples and families. I’ve worked with clients to address a wide range of issues in both a community social service agency and in private practice. I added both adult ADHD coaching and life coaching to my practice over 20 years ago. I work primarily with clients on issues related to anxiety, adult ADHD (including building skills related to time management, organization, and prioritizing), decision-making, goal setting, communication, relationships, parenting, and life transitions. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for this work. I take a strengths-based approach in which we will build on your strengths to work toward the personal growth you are committed to achieving. I believe that everyone has their own answers, and I will work collaboratively with you and offer you support, feedback and perspective to help you move forward. I will create a non-judgmental, safe space in which you can address difficult topics. I work from a developmental perspective, where we will look at what you are experiencing in the context of your life’s experiences. I use a variety of approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Congratulations on taking this step. I look forward to working with you.
