We are here to cry with you, cuss with you, call you on your shit, and help you actually change what isn’t working.

Results-Driven and EMDR Therapy, Anywhere in Minnesota & North Dakota.
Not-your-average-therapy for the highly driven, ambitious, ready-to-transform humans who don’t want to settle.
You’re getting shit done, holding everyone else together, and quietly thinking, “I cannot keep doing this like this.”
Maybe it’s your relationship, your business, your past, or just being so f*cking tired of being the strong one.
You’ve thought about it, talked about it, read the book, saved the podcast, asked Tom.
At some point, you just want your life to feel different.
You know that version of you who laughs easier, doesn’t replay everything, and isn’t carrying everyone and everything all the time?
Yeah. We want more of that version of you back.
We’re not here to turn you into some shiny new version of yourself. We’re here to help you feel more like YOU again while changing the patterns that keep messing with your relationships, work, and everyday life.
Start with a straightforward 15-minute Consult. No weird sales pitch. Just a real conversation to see if you leave thinking, “Yep. These are my people.”
10+ years helping people through trauma, relationships, business pressure, family stuff, and life being a lot.
Here’s what some of them had to say.
-
“Within several months my perspective had completely changed and I was able to make progress and move past emotional obstacles that had been blocking my ability to proceed forward.”

-
“I have been able to move past some things that were holding me down for well over a decade. I feel lighter and am able to deal with setbacks easier than before therapy. I have done both traditional talk therapy and EMDR…and there isn’t anyone I would recommend more!"

“I have left every session ... feeling like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I am ready to go enjoy the rest of my day with a clear head. I highly recommend... Silver Birch Therapy to anyone struggling and in need of a little extra help!”

“She has helped me overcome past fears and traumas and has helped me mature into a more confident and well-rounded individual. She is always there to support me, but also challenge me and push me to be better…Through traditional talk therapy and EMDR she has helped me develop and learn to deal with my traumas in the past and present."

-
"I look forward to my monthly sessions as I always come away from them with a renewed sense of my own value…insight and feedback has opened my eyes to my own thought patterns and how they impact my well-being.”

-
“I began therapy and EMDR believing it was some voodoo magic that wouldn't help at all. Now I find myself looking forward to every session… I have noticed progress and healing in myself, my emotions, and my every day life. I'm not sure where I would be without this experience and the time spent in therapy…I do know that looking back, I wish I had started down this long road sooner…"

-
“…the first therapist I have had that has really challenged me to look deeper and really help to form the new perspective that I need to heal from past trauma. I would highly recommend her to anyone!"

-
"Tangible results. … Having been to many, many therapists - I can easily say she has been the best. I’m happy with the results I have seen and look forward to seeing what comes now!"

" She laughs with me, lets me cry it out when the feelings get too big, and reminds me that a lot of this is normal. …I feel so much lighter after my sessions, and they're something I look forward to!"

-
“…helped me navigate through some very traumatic past experiences, while teaching me the skills to face those traumas and come out stronger on the other side…. I never thought I would be able to find someone who I could talk to openly, all while not feeling judged or foolish… I would recommend her to anyone who is looking! The leap of faith that I took in working with Silver Birch… is one that I am so incredibly grateful that I took!"

-
“…While sometimes challenging, I always appreciate the intention of being the architect of my own growth and progress. While initially, I sought 'answers' from her, now I am learning to seek within myself alongside a guide."

-
“…The best part of my therapy has been that I’m now learning new skills to build a life that I’m proud of. I've been able to form deeper relationships and I've even been able to help others. I’m reaching a point that I didn’t realize was possible when I first started my sessions a year ago.”
Privately Disclosed
-
“…I appreciate how she is able to be fully supportive of me, hold me accountable in a direct way, provide an objective perspective to my fears and/or anxiety, and then being able to report back to her (and celebrate) when I follow through with difficult tasks.”
Privately Disclosed
-
“I didn't know where to even begin trying to work through the issues I was struggling with… I'm capable and confident that I can work through things and be my best self. The personal growth I've experienced since I started therapy is truly amazing! I'm in a much better and much happier place in my life and I'm thankful for it every day.”

“I am deeply grateful for the support given… the progress made I made in our short time together…was extremely helpful at a crucial time/within a crucial season of my life. I will always be grateful for that.”

“I don’t quite know how she does it but I always feel calm, supported and capable of tackling really big goals.”

“My wife and I did a two day couples therapy session… to help us deal with infidelity that had occurred. This is obviously a very tough topic with a lot of emotions and stress. After two days of very intense work my wife and I were in a much better place, and had a plan and vision of what we wanted to do….I cannot say enough great things…”

exhausting. At times it was painful. And it was so worth it. I felt a deep connection that I hadn’t felt in years, a connection I didn’t think was possible to feel again. Intimacy returned. Communication improved. Surely a magical wand was involved. The retreat was tailored to US. To OUR marriage. Everything we did had a deep impact on our relationship. Not once did I feel like we were wasting time with an exercise. I never thought a retreat would be able to help heal so much. And connect us in ways we hadn’t connected in years. But it did.”

"This retreat may be the biggest single event that has saved my marriage, I would recommend having mini retreats every so often to do a refresher or clean out clutter that get moved off to the side but linger and affect the connections between my spouse and I…This experience was exhausting for both me and my spouse, yet at the same time it was very energetic for our relationship.”

“…We came to the couples retreat with an infidelity issue that felt as if it might destroy us and we left feeling hopeful. We had less pain. We were able to imagine our future together. We know we have continued work to do and both of us desire to work with her individually and together in the future. Forgiveness may not have been complete, but we are on our way.”

You know that moment when you think… “I cannot keep doing this like this”?
→ your kid squeezes an applesauce pouch onto the couch and you react like they just keyed your car.
→ finishing another podcast, texting your friend Tom for the 14th time, and still thinking, “Cool… so why am I still doing the exact same thing?”
→ staring at your laptop at 8:42 PM wondering when the business you wanted so badly started feeling like another person who needs something from you.
→ hearing your partner sigh from across the room and immediately thinking, “Ohhh here we fucking go.”
→ being totally pleasant all day, then standing alone in the kitchen eating something over the sink because you have absolutely nothing left for anyone.
→ one random comment, memory, or look hits weird and suddenly your whole night is shot.
You’re allowed to want this to feel different.
Okay… but what if life actually started feeling different?
→ you look at your partner and think, “Oh yeah. I actually really like you.” More laughing in the kitchen, random touching again, way less feeling like roommates who discuss groceries.
→ your kids get more of the version of you you hoped they’d grow up with. More being silly on the floor. Less apologizing at bedtime because everyone lost it over getting shoes on.
→ you make a decision and let the decision be done. No group chat committee meeting. No asking Tom. No lying in bed wondering if you just ruined your life.
→ your business becomes part of your life again instead of the background tab that never freaking closes. You can eat dinner, take a day off, or watch a movie without mentally answering emails.
→ the stuff from your past stops choosing your relationships, reactions, and boundaries for you. You still remember it. You just don’t have to keep living from it.
Meet The Therapists.
Hey, it’s so nice to meet you.
If you’ve already opened 14 therapist tabs trying to figure out who you could actually talk to, we get it.
We’ll laugh with you, cuss with you, gently call you on your shit when needed, and help you make changes that actually show up in your real life, not just in a notebook you forget about by Tuesday.
Basically…we want you to leave feeling lighter, more like yourself, and a whole lot more sure of how you want to show up in your life.
If that sounds like where you want to be, let’s get to work.
