Hi! My name is Ty, and I can’t wait to work with you! If things have been just a little stressful, or you have gone through really difficult stuff–you have come to the right place, I’ve got your back, and we can work through hard things. If you are wanting someone who is going to listen non-judgmentally, who can understand and who can support whatever it is that you are dealing with, I would love to sit down and talk with you. If you are looking for a provider who can understand what it is like to go through the world as a part of the queer community and dealing with LGBTQ+ cultural issues and discrimination–yep, that’s me, too!

Together you will work collaboratively to determine, adapt and develop a new mindset and behavioral actions to help you develop the needs and goals you want.

Licensed for 17 years, serving clients via teletherapy in the Mpls/St Paul metro and surrounding areas (including Hennepin, Carver, Scott counties), as well as outstate Minnesota, my focus in therapy is to: 1) assist individuals and couples to clearly identify the root causes of the challenges and difficulties they are facing; 2) work together to identify real-world solutions which they feel will best address and resolve their unique life situations. I do not use a one-size-fits-all, or cookie-cutter approach.

I truly believe that all human beings have the ability to be mentally well; however, I recognize there are life experiences that can affect the human spirit deeply, guiding you to believe you are damaged, unlovable, or mentally unwell. It is my passion to guide people back to seeing themselves and life through a more positive lens where hope can be awakened and where peace, security, contentment, and joy can be found. I believe all people are affected by life's hardships differently, however we all have one thing in common: the ability to be well.

I am devoted to working with clients who are looking for professional support in achieving their goals with their mental health needs. It is rewarding to give them the necessary and applicable tools to navigate life's obstacles and unexpected turns. I take an empathetic, caring, and strengths-based approach, which allows foundational support to individuals of all backgrounds, distinct needs, and strengths.

I understand you may be hurting, worried, feeling lost, scared, frustrated, or overwhelmed. At moments like this, it may be hard to see how things can get better... That's what I'm here for. Let me help you. You are strong, skilled, and capable of improving your situation. I will listen, support, care, and ultimately help you make your life better than before. I know how bad it can get, but I also know how much things can improve; I know because I've been part of that happening for so many over the course of many years.

Are you noticing patterns in the way you react, behave, and feel in response to people in your life? Are you tired of feeling stuck in an emotional loop that sometimes feels out of your control? Do you experience anxiety, depression, or difficulty connecting with others?

I specialize in Borderline Personality Disorder and other Cluster B personality Disorder and mood disorder. Clients who benefit most from therapy sessions with me are often experiencing feelings of low self-worth, suicidal ideation, depression, social isolation, restlessness, and sometimes describe "wanting to feel normal again," "feeling crazy" or have feelings that they are so anxious that they feel paralyzed and can't be present when they are doing an enjoyable activity, or when they need to focus on something important but can't bring themselves to start the next activity because of their worry.

Our relationships are a fundamental part of our lives, bringing both immense joy and complex challenges. If you have found yourself struggling with communication issues, conflicts, or a potential or realized breakup, I am here to provide a safe space for growth and transformation. I am passionate about meeting the needs of my clients in therapy. I will help you foster healthier connections by enhancing your communication skills, learning to build emotional intimacy, and establishing boundaries that honor your needs.

It can be hard to feel different. Many people receive messages their entire lives about not being good enough. I'm here to be a supportive, thoughtful and empathetic response to this. I have experience supporting individuals as they take the steps to build a more fulfilling life. I am passionate about intersectional feminism, disability rights, queer rights, trans rights, fat liberation, and health at every size (HAES). I especially enjoy working with folks who experience challenges related to neurodivergence and trans identities.
