Welcome! I specialize in working with clients between ages 14-40, non-monogamous/polyamorous clients, and people experiencing major life transitions. That includes life events like reconsidering your relationship structure, navigating estrangement or reconnection, welcoming a new family member or saying goodbye, career shifts, and everything in between. It is important to me that you feel anchored in my presence, and that you can also trust me to give it to you straight. We are also going to take it sloooooow - pausing, reflecting, and being present with the big and small feelings that we unearth in this work together.

I have specialized training in many therapeutic practices: career counseling and assessment; cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia; mind-body skill work; dialectical behavior therapy; prolonged exposure and cognitive processing therapies for PTSD; and cognitive behavior therapy.
Many people struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety or insomnia. Others have difficulty in relationships, are dissatisfied with work or face serious health challenges. And many others struggle to adapt to life changes, or simply feel discouraged or unhappy. I work collaboratively with my clients to target the issues most challenging to them and use evidence-based approaches to improve those problems. I believe that developing a strong relationship with my clients provides the essential base from which sustainable change can be achieved. I am PsyPact certified and can practice telepsychology in those states.

For many people, career challenges are inextricably linked with mental health, personal identity, other roles, and life stressors.
Feel purposeful, energized, and balanced in your life and career. If you have found yourself disconnected from your values, stressed, and overwhelmed, I will work with you to forge a path forward with reflection and intention. I enjoy working with people during times of stress and burnout, transition, grieving, and decision-making. I employ an eclectic approach with practical tools to meet individuals' personal and career counseling needs. Our sessions may be focused on self-assessment, goal-setting, processing difficulties, or concrete skill development. You may choose to complete a more comprehensive assessment process.

All counseling I do is related to work and career issues. You may be thinking about a different career, trying to figure out a major in college, considering re-entering the job market after an absence, questioning what's next after graduating, or are unhappy with your current work situation. We explore characteristics such as values, interests, and motivators through counseling sessions, assessments and exercises. It's a very active process with the goal of discovering what best suits you, keeping in mind the realities of the job market and individual needs.

Adoptees do the best job informing about adoption.
Please visit therapyredeemed.wordpress.com/about/ for more info & resources! Have you ever wondered about your adoption story? Has there ever been doubt, fear, anger, pain or confusion when it comes up? What’s it been like for you to process your personal experience of birth family, loss, grief, race, identity, or even those seemingly benign curiosities about your narrative that come up from time to time? For parents, of course you want to help your children as they embark on that path. This can often feel uncertain or overwhelming, with so many subtle nuances that feel way too complicated to handle without appropriate support.

Are you feeling stressed and fear you will "burn out?" Are you grieving the death of a loved one or loss of something important to you (e.g., job or relationship)? Are you going through a life transition (e.g., leaving home for the first time, health change, retirement, aging)? Even positive changes can leave us feeling unsettled for a while! Have you experienced trauma (e.g., car accident, sexual assault, natural disaster) or vicarious trauma as a healthcare provider who has heard about or witnessed traumatic events of your patients? If any of these fit for you, I'd love to assist you in your journey back to vitality.

Over my entire career I have served as a faculty member training other therapists at the University of Minnesota and Capella University.
I've been working with adults and teens for over 47 years. My approach is empathic, direct, and thoughtful. Given I have a wide background in my training, I adapt my therapeutic approach to your needs. I find that effective therapy is a collaborative approach where we work together to understand your concerns, their origins and most importantly what can be done to bring about both the internal and behavioral changes that will be beneficial to you. My goal in therapy is to help integrate your shame and vulnerabilities into a healthy identity grounded in self-esteem and pride.

Transitions such as relationships, challenging family dynamics, identity crisis, trauma, career, abuse, divorce, loss, and grief.
Often a question asked prior to counseling is, am I thriving or simply surviving? Individuals question their life path and need help to figure out where to start exploring. We work together to identify strengths, areas of growth, and both are used to help cultivate a fulfilling life experience. Clients may feel there is a mismatch between their head and hearts so we also work to connect them which in-turn causes less uncertainty and confusion in life choices.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
