Welcome to Kairos! My name is Ruth and I will be your therapist. I am so excited you decided to come to Kairos for your needs and I would love to speak about what I can do for you. My Personal Life I am a mother of three children living in Webster, MN with my husband, Ben, and our two dogs. I enjoy spending time with my family, laughing with friends, traveling, and jogging. Your mental health is so important to me and I truly have a passion for what I do. I would love to connect with you to help with your mental health today! My Background The desire to facilitate true connection and growth in relationships, heal trauma, and navigate through the difficulties in the lives of others has led me to Marriage and Family Therapy. I attended the University of MN for my Bachelor's in Family Social Science and Saint Mary's University for my Master's in Marriage in Family Therapy. I have been providing therapy to couples, families, and individuals for years and would love to meet you where you are today. My Specializations To provide you with the best possible care, I am experienced in trauma and PTSD, couples and relationship concerns, prenatal mood disorders and postpartum depression & anxiety, military families, grief and loss, parenting, sexual concerns, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in Brainspotting, a treatment method to process, release, and heal painful emotions, memories, and trauma. I also utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Narrative Therapy to alter stuckness and achieve lasting change.
