Hello, and welcome! My name is Kyle, and I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Minnesota, offering telehealth (video) appointments to individual adults ages 18 and older. I’m so glad you’re here, and I recognize the courage it takes to seek out therapy—this first step is a meaningful one. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I take an eclectic and personalized approach to therapy. I believe that no two individuals are the same, and I tailor my techniques to meet your unique needs, goals, and circumstances. Together, we’ll create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges. My focus is on helping you build healthy coping strategies, resilience, and the lasting change you’re seeking. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, whether it’s your first time or you’ve tried it before and are looking for a different experience. My role is to walk alongside you, providing warmth, compassion, and guidance at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to support you in finding greater clarity, balance, and fulfillment in your life. If you’re ready to begin or are just exploring your options, I’d be honored to be part of your journey toward healing and growth. Together, we can create meaningful change and work toward the life you envision.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Before our first session, you’ll complete an intake form to share what’s bringing you to therapy and the goals you’d like to work on. You’ll also fill out a few assessment tools, which will help me better understand your concerns and identify areas to focus on in our work together. In our first session, we’ll take some time to get to know each other. I’ll provide empathy, compassion, and understanding as we begin exploring your concerns. Together, we’ll refine your goals and start building a treatment plan to guide our work and track progress over time. Throughout our sessions, I’ll ask questions in a supportive, non-pressuring way to better understand your situation while focusing on building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is laid-back yet professional, creating a space where you feel safe to share whatever is on your mind. I value collaboration and open communication, so if something doesn’t feel right, I encourage you to share your feedback—we’ll work together to adjust and find an approach that fits. I strive to walk alongside you, helping you gain insight and create lasting, meaningful change in your life. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to build strong, meaningful connections with the people I work with. I believe trust and understanding are the foundation of a successful therapeutic relationship, and I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen and supported. I bring a warm, approachable, and laid-back presence to our work together. I’m a strong listener who offers genuine empathy, positive regard, and effective guidance to help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals. I aim to elicit meaningful, positive change by providing techniques and tools that align with your needs. I also enjoy incorporating humor and a sense of light-heartedness whenever appropriate—therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy! My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered to make lasting changes.
