CAREFREE THERAPY

Experiential and EMDR Therapy for Teens,Tweens, Young Adults & Parents

LICENSED INDEPENDENT CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER IN MINNESOTA & ARIZONA

Feeling stuck? Or feeling like you have to go it alone because no one will understand or listen? What if you could connect with someone who would support and help?

I use experiential and EMDR therapy approaches to help you express feelings and heal trauma through your mind and body. Expressive arts therapies such as music, movement, visual arts, and writing can provide a nonthreatening way to access and process past trauma and move toward personal growth.

Hello! I’m Tina. I’m here to help you feel seen and understood, build connections, and finally heal from past trauma. I'm passionate about helping teens, young adults, and parents transform and live more fulfilling lives. I’ve seen healing and growth happen during extensive experience as a therapist working in schools, day treatment programs, crisis settings, and community mental health. I’ve seen the power of building connections and relationships to promote healing and growth.

I can help with

Individual Therapy

This is ideal if you are looking to feel less stressed out, learn skills to manage problems, feel less isolated and alone, become more self confident, and develop a better understanding of self.

EMDR

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach to help you heal and experience freedom from past trauma, engage in healthy relationships, and manage stress. EMDR can help you heal from traumatic events like abuse, bullying, grief/loss, or attachment issues. EMDR can be useful in an integrated treatment of issues like anxiety and depression.

Parenting Support

I walk alongside parents to help you manage daily stressors, build parenting skills, increase communication, reduce conflict, and feel supported through family struggles and life transitions.
