INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Individual therapy with a trauma recovery expert, tailored to your needs and preferences. Over nearly 40 years of study and practice, my toolkit has been packed with insights and approaches including DBT, somatic trauma therapy, ecotherapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
Learn how your emotions are designed to work for you, protect you, guide you, restore you, and help you build a life that you truly love. I am honored to partner with you, walking together exploring ways to heal and grow a life you truly love.
Sessions can be structured or free-flowing, in office, by teletherapy, or out in nature. Most start with weekly sessions.
GROUP THERAPY
We strive to create an atmosphere in which you feel heard, understood, and respected. We come to this work knowing that you are the director of your life. We are here to support, assist and empower you to build a life that you truly love, and to heal and restore that which has held you back from fully embodying your true nature and your best self.
We bring with us curiosity and trust in your ability to heal and aim to empower you to move in the direction that will bring you peace and joy, meaning and purpose.
We hold space for you to explore and discover the answers and solutions you have been looking for. We are your partners in building an affirming, welcoming community in your treatment team, your circle of family and friends, and in your life.
We work with you collaboratively, bringing our creativity and expertise for you to use in the ways you see as helpful.
Nature’s Gate therapists are highly trained clinicians who provide holistic and equitable therapy services to adults dealing with a variety of presenting concerns.
We specialize in concerns that include but are not limited to the following: out-of-control or highly painful or problematic emotions, impulsive or compulsive mood-driven behavior, alarm reactions, addictions, thought disturbances such as rumination, intrusive thoughts, catastrophic thinking, identity confusion or self-loathing, entanglement, feeling trapped in, or repeatedly experiencing abusive conditions in relationships, at work, or in communities, generational trauma (traumatic patterns echoing down from grandparents to parents to self to children to grandchildren), attachment disruptions, family and relationship conflicts, treatment resistant depression and anxiety, unremitting grief, and difficulty functioning in life.
We aim to get you where you are going. If something isn’t working, we go to work solving it or figuring out what will work better. We know that healing takes a mysterious, often winding path, and that trauma recovery can be a lifelong journey. It is our experience that when traveled mindfully, what had been a painful path of suffering can become a meaningful and inspiring adventure.
Place of Service
We offer services by teletherapy or in person at our office at The Nest, 4801 1/2 Nicollet Ave. Minneapolis, MN. Individual and group nature-based therapy can be arranged for a nearby park, river, garden or natural space of your choosing.
