PHD, MA, LMFT
I have over 20 years of experience working in the field of psychotherapy involving clinical experience, education, consulting and management. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) obtaining a Master’s Degree in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy from the Minnesota School of Professional Psychology. Additionally I hold Doctoral Degrees in both Social Science and Clinical Sexology. I also hold a Master’s of Theology in Pastoral Counseling. I am professionally trained and certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
I have extensive training in Couples’ and Individual Counseling utilizing many therapeutic approaches to work with the restoration of relationships. The clinical frameworks that I draw from to help clients are CBT, Mindfulness, Family Systems, Codependency, Human Development, Attachment Theory, Development/Complex Trauma and more. I also integrate emerging neuroscience research about the brain and how early experiences affect human development. My clinical background includes helping couples and families working with diverse populations and cultures both nationally and internationally; including African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos, Hmong, Eastern Europeans Russians and Ukrainians. I am bilingual, speaking both English and Russian.
My current clinical interest includes working with individuals and couples as they work through their personal or relationship challenges. I address concerns such as infidelity, addictions, communication issues, complex conflict cycles, family/blended family issues including parenting concerns, work/academic stress, anger management, ADHD, emotional/behavioral disorders, depression and OCD/anxiety. As a Clinical Sexologist, I work with Individuals and Couples in the areas of sexual dysfunction, sexual intimacy and sexual addiction. I have extensive experience and expertise using both EMDR and TF- CBT to help clients work through past and current trauma, abuse, PTSD or betrayal trauma (Post Infidelity Stress Disorder). It is my hope and desire to help adults, couples and families heal to find restoration and happiness in their lives.
I see clients at our Edina location either in-office or virtually.
