Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Minnesota

I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management of ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your mental health journey.

I incorporate medication management with supportive counseling and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and Motivational Interviewing, to help you build practical coping skills and achieve lasting improvement.

My education and training have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide effective, evidence-based therapy to my clients.

I have worked collectively for 31 years in public safety, crisis work, training and mental/chemical health. During my 16 years in law enforcement (LE) my experiences included being a Sergeant, SWAT Team Leader, Negotiator, Critical Incident Facilitator and Trainer. My experience in LE has led me to my passion in how trauma impacts our first responders. I have used my own experience as a first responder and woman in recovery, to transcend into my current role of a mental health and chemical health therapist working with not only first responders - police, fire, military, dispatchers, front line workers and corrections officers, but also any survivor, individual struggling with LGBT issues, addiction, relational struggles or trauma. I am able to be a conduit of change, sharing the journey with those who face the everyday stressful events, trauma or finding one's true identity. We are never alone. I am here to be a safe place and safe person to share and divide your pain. I am here to honor your experiences, share your success and build your resilience and healing.

Hi there! My name is Will and I’ve supported people going through different stressors in a variety of settings. I have experience supporting a variety of people with different mental health disorders in residential, intensive outpatient, and the outpatient settings. I’ve worked with people who have experienced severe trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism spectrum disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia, attachment related disorders, among others.

My experience as a social worker, herbalist, and therapist has convinced me of the following about humans:

• we thrive on connection
• our bodies are trying to tell us what we need, we just need to learn how to listen
• connecting to nature is paramount to a high-quality, lasting healing journey
• we ALL can experience joy and live in our highest being

My background/focuses in integrative mental health (connecting the mind and body's wellness), trauma work, nature therapy, and spirituality guide our work together. I love working with folks who are ready to dive a little deeper, find purpose and meaning in life, and rewrite their story.

I believe in meeting people where they are—with honesty, warmth, and a steady presence. My approach is calm and straightforward, focused on creating a space where you can be fully yourself.
