Welcome to my website. I'm a psychologist in private practice who provides counseling and psychotherapy for individual and couples in the Minneapolis
area. I've included information here to help you see if I'm the right therapist
for you - and you can also feel free
to call me at (612) 926-8802. Messages can be left 24 hours a day. I return
calls during regular business hours and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
I see a wide age-range of clients from older teens to seniors, in both individual and couples therapy.
I believe in individualized care for your difficulties. We will begin with an initial session where we will discuss in detail
the nature of your concerns and begin to develop a plan for your care. I will treat you as a whole person and will try to
treat not only the current symptoms but, if you wish, longstanding patterns of behavior or belief that may interfere with
optimal self-care.
I work with many different concerns such as depression,
anxiety, and relationship difficulties.
I have extensive experience in the treatment of eating disorders such as binge eating, bulimia and anorexia. In addition, I am a certified EMDR practitioner which you may
find helpful either as the first treatment
to try, or when talking about a problem doesn't resolve it. I have received advanced training and supervision in use of EMDR
for a variety of problems.
Examples of Problem Areas I Treat:- Mood difficulties including: depression, post-partum depression, general feeling of low mood
- Anxiety:
general fears, specific fears, panic disorders, stress disorders
- Eating disorders: binge eating, bulimia, anorexia,
chaotic eating
- Body image
- Stress reduction
- Problems in relationship to others: significant others,
parents, children, friends
- Self-care related to chronic illness or life-threatening disease
- Self improvement
