Find a Licensed Online Therapist in Saint Louis Park, MN

Hello and welcome to BetterHelp! I am a Licensed Master's Level graduate of Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM). I have worked with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families in several different non-clinical and clinical settings including residential and intensive outpatient in both non-profit and private facilities. My specialties include treating individuals with communication issues, intimacy-related issues, depression, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, ADD/ADHD, family conflict, relationship issues, death of a loved one, substance use/abuse. As your therapist, we go through your journey together to decrease and/or eliminate distress of your mind and within your relationships through "talk therapy". My approach to your treatment depends on your goals for therapy and the issue(s) that you present. At times, we delve in your family background and how you were raised as a child and into your past relationships as I have found that what's going on presently is a direct result of unresolved issues from the past. At other times, there is just a need to find a solution and/or come to a resolution of an issue. I utilize a few treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals!

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the states of Kentucky.. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children both in individual and group settings. I also have experience working with couples and families. Some clinical issues I have the most experience in include addiction, anger management, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, stress management, and trauma. A main focus in my treatment is establishing a therapeutic relationship with the person first and foremost as I believe having a good connection helps facilitate effective counseling and provides the best outcomes. In therapy, I am supportive, compassionate, and am present with individuals both in times of struggle as well as times of achievement and progress. I make sure to meet each individual where they are at and actively listen to and respect where they would like to see themselves in the future with the help of therapy. Working collaboratively with individuals on their treatment goals is a priority throughout treatment and I encourage open communication regarding what therapeutic techniques and approaches work best for the person so as to ensure the best therapeutic experience. My counseling style combines strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approaches to help individuals achieve their therapeutic goals. Identifying one's strengths and coping skills that can be used to help work through various issues is an important part of my therapy approach. I truly value each individual therapeutic relationship and fully empathize with the different emotions a client may experience throughout treatment. I believe that each individual has the ability to overcome struggles but that sometimes having additional support in the form of therapy can help one to better identify and recognize the coping skills and strengths they already possess. You have taken the first step in creating a healthier, happier you and I would be honored to help you in that journey!

• I have been a practicing mental health therapist for over 20 years. I was originally licensed in Tennessee, then Ohio and have been in the Twin Cities since 2011. • Most of the past 20 years I have worked in chemical dependence treatment centers and specialized in chemical dependency in my private practice. I was a part of the Pride Institute for 8 years and have also specialized in treatment for the LGBTQIA in my private practice. • As a self-identified Transman, I have practiced openly where it has been safe to do so and have been writing letters for other trans identified clients for over a decade. I have worked with both adolescent and adult clients over the years. • I use clinical hypnotherapy as a part of my practice to help process traumas so that clients are not as obstructed by them and can focus more on other problems in their lives. I have been practicing clinical hypnotherapy since 2005. With Clinical Hypnotherapy (CH), I use metaphors to help clients understand concepts. CH is a powerful way to make changes quickly. I believe that one must visualize what that change might be like in their lives to achieve permanent change and deal with the impact that change manifests. • Another of my more recent specialties is I am a certified Reiki Master Healer and Teacher. I use Reiki with clients to help them relax, for pain management and to provide an alternative to therapy.

I became a therapist because I believe healing starts when people finally feel safe enough to stop performing and start being fully seen. Everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, supported, understood, and accepted without judgment. Life can become overwhelming when you are carrying stress, navigating major transitions, managing relationships, balancing responsibilities, or constantly feeling like you have to hold everything together for everyone else. Over time, even high-functioning people can begin to feel exhausted, disconnected, anxious, or unsure of who they are outside of taking care of others. I work primarily with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally drained, or stretched too thin. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, boundaries, divorce, relationship concerns, workplace stress, imposter syndrome, identity development, personal growth, and life transitions that leave them questioning what comes next. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and practical. Therapy with me is not about judgment or perfection. It is about creating space for honest conversations, meaningful insight, and real change. Together, we identify patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen coping strategies, improve communication, increase confidence, and develop healthier ways of showing up for yourself and the people you care about. I integrate evidence-based approaches while recognizing that every person’s story, values, and lived experiences deserve to be honored. My goal is to provide care that feels both clinically grounded and deeply human. Whether you are processing change, recovering from difficult experiences, building healthier relationships, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, you do not have to figure it all out alone. We will begin where you are and move at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable. I strive to make therapy feel like a place where you can finally exhale, reflect, grow, and create a life that feels more aligned, balanced, and fulfilling. Outside of the therapy space, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, attending concerts, exploring museums, and relaxing near the beach. Those moments remind me that healing is not only about surviving difficult seasons. It is also about creating room for joy, connection, restoration, and living fully. I currently have openings for adult clients in Illinois, Minnesota, and Rhode Island.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. If you've found yourself wondering why you feel the way you do, reacting in ways that don't fully make sense, or are searching for answers but still feel unsure, you're not alone. I work with adults and couples to help pinpoint what is happening and understand the "why" behind it. Once we have an understanding, we create a clear, practical plan to help you move forward in a way that feels more grounded and manageable at a pace you are comfortable with. I offer a range of services depending on what you are looking for within your specific goals. Diagnostic Sessions: Focused sessions to understand symptoms patterns, or potential diagnosis. Individual & Couples Therapy: Goal oriented treatment, psychoeducation, and support. Crisis Care: Short term support and safety planning following a recent crisis. Psychological Autopsy: Comprehensive report for survivors after a death by suicide. Starting can feel nerve-racking and is a big step. If you're not sure where to start we can figure that out together. If this sounds like what you're looking for, the next step is to schedule a consultation or reach out directly. I'd be happy to connect and see if we are a good fit.
