Clinical Approach

I provide individual, family, and couples therapy to children, adolescents, and adults with a range of mental health issues/disorders.

My areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, depression, family dynamics and conflict, life transitions, grief, and self-esteem. At the core of my work is a passion for supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate future planning, including career exploration and college counseling.

Clinical Approach

Life is constantly changing and seldom leaves sufficient time to pause and reflect on our relationship to it. Therapy is a sacred space in which we can take stock of what’s happened and what we want our lives to be about. Ben is a deeply engaged and reflective therapist who above all seeks to understand the journey of the people he helps. He has 10 years of experience in the field and is continually refining his approach.

His work is steeped in a client-centered approach that emphases the innate wisdom and leadership of the individual. He sees adults of all ages and has years of experience helping those going through difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety, stress and trauma.

Ben has been trained in EMDR as an approach to working with trauma and has focused much of his education in learning Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He has worked in a number of outpatient therapy settings including college student counseling services, community mental health, and a hospital.

She/Her/Hers
Education

Bachelors of Social Work - University of River Falls

Masters of Clinical Social Work - University of St Thomas

Clinical Approach

I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care. My work centers on helping clients heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and distressing life experiences that impact emotional well-being, relationships, and self-worth.

I integrate evidence-based and experiential approaches, including Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and trauma-focused interventions. Brainspotting allows us to access and process trauma stored in the body and nervous system, often reaching deeper healing than talk therapy alone.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and collaborative, grounded in empathy, nonjudgmental acceptance, and emotional safety. I work with clients to identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking, behavior, and emotional responses, supporting lasting change and increased self-understanding. My goal is not only symptom relief, but helping individuals build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward long-term stability and maintenance.

Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors, spending time with my family, practicing hot yoga, exercising, traveling, cooking, watching my kids play sports, snowboarding, and playing sand volleyball.

Licensed Professional Counselor
Education

Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice Administration - Park University

Master of Science in Forensic Psychology - Argosy University

Clinical Approach

Hi, I’m Jill and my goal is to help you feel safe enough to heal

I specialize in inner child work—gently reconnecting with the tender, wounded parts of yourself that may have been abandoned or hurt long ago, offering them the compassion and safety they deserve.

I also specialize in grief - helping adults navigate loss (death, divorce, job, relationship, etc.) honoring what was, and finding meaning and renewal in the midst of the deep pain of loss.

I believe real healing happens in a safe, trusting relationship—where you feel truly seen, met without judgment, and gently accompanied as we explore your unconscious world together with curiosity and care: reparenting your younger self, holding space for grief to transform, and integrating hidden pieces into greater wholeness.

I work with adults, couples and families. I am educated and trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassionate Inquiry, Somatic Experiencing, The Gottman Couples Method, David Kessler Grief Therapy and more.

I have two adult daughters and five grandchildren. When I’m not working, you will find me spending time with my family, playing outside or reading a good book.

I graduated from Viterbo University in 2015 with a Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling. I am currently completing my Ph.D. in Advanced Studies of Human Behavior at Capella University.
