About
You feel overwhelmed as a woman, thinking that you’re either too much or not enough. You’re trying to be a good wife, mother, daughter, employee, friend, but feel like you rarely get it “just right”. You’ve become disconnected from yourself. You want to feel confident and have your joy back. You want to feel like yourself again. Or as a couple, you keep having the same conflict over again, leaving you feeling disconnected. You’re arguing much of the time or not talking at all. It's hard to find joy and feel love. You want to make it work. You’re ready to stop fighting and feel happy again. You want real change in your relationship. I specialize in using IFS and EFT through Therapy Intensives & Retreats to help women and couples in Minnesota who are struggling with relationship issues and life transitions to stop feeling unhappy and disconnected and find themselves and their partners again. I offer the time and space and the compassionate presence for you to feel connected again. Connection with ourselves and others is vital for our sense of peace and joy. I offer sessions longer than 50 minutes because clients deserve to have all the time and space they need to reconnect with themselves and their partners. Email me or go to my website to schedule a free 30 minute consult call. I’d love to be a part of your healing journey. Specialties: I offer attuned and compassionate therapy for women trying to reconnect to themselves and couples trying to reconnect with each other. I specialize in serving my clients through Therapy Intensives and Retreats. Learn more about how therapy intensives can help you by checking out my website. Credentials & Experience: I am a Level 2 trained IFS therapist (Internal Family Systems) and have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.
"EFT believes that the primary need in all of our relationships is connection and safety. The work we do with EFT is to help change the patterns of interaction in your relationships so the way you communicate begins to heal and rebuild that connection and safety. The goal in IFS is to help us connect with all of our internal parts and bringing healing to the burdened and overworked parts."
