Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Welcome. It Is Your Time to become more of the person you want to be. Set goals to address codependency, procrastination, the impacts of trauma, self-criticism, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism. Increase your assertiveness, communication, and boundary-setting skills. Improve mindfulness and life-work balance. I will combine my compassion, openness, and attentiveness with my 29+ years of experience, training, and knowledge. I offer a space where oppression and injustice are understood as having a direct correlation to our health and well-being. A relaxed confidential space where you are welcome to be your whole self.

Stressors in our lives often become overwhelming and confusing. They challenge our ability to cope. In collaboration with you, I provide practical guidance, support, and compassion to understand what might be helpful. I will gently and consistently challenge you to effectively change and move towards a meaningful and purposeful life.

I believe the problems we experience in living are woven into the fabric of our lives and rooted in enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others. These problems develop in relationship to others over the course of our lives. And it is in relationship—a relationship in which the attentive presence of another is truly and deeply felt—that these problems can be healed. In an atmosphere of curiosity and acceptance, we will work together to deepen your awareness and understanding of your needs, desires, and patterns of relating so you may experience greater freedom and fulfillment in your life.

I also provide couples therapy aimed at enhancing emotional connection, refining communication, and nurturing trust and intimacy.

As your therapist, I see myself as a guide and my approach is very much strength-based and person-centered - aligned with Carl Rogers, who believed that “every person is unique and, therefore, everyone’s view of their own world, and their ability to manage it, should be trusted”. I lead with curiosity and see you, the client as expert of your life and experience. My approach is designed to validate your experience and help you reveal your inner strength and gain awareness so that you can finally heal and recover from traumas that are keeping you stuck. These interventions are the catalyst to growth and hold transformative power.

With a combination of humor, wisdom, metaphors and professional experience, I enjoy working with folks to help them live a more fulfilled life. I work together with my clients to create a safe environment, where they are encouraged to take risks and explore the challenges they are facing.

Having someone listen to you, without judging or minimizing what you feel and think, is powerful. I provide a safe, supportive and collaborative environment where you can develop a greater understanding of yourself and your relationships, improve your emotional health and well-being, and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges. While searching online for a therapist can be overwhelming, I encourage you to trust in your ability to find the right person to help.

I provide collaborative, respectful psychotherapy for adults struggling with a variety of concerns including: trauma and abuse, intense anxiety or depression, relationship struggles, persistent negative beliefs and unwanted intrusive thoughts, body sensations and emotions that are overwhelming and/or confusing.

I use a whole brain, relational approach that is creative and responsive to my clients' unique needs, strengths and circumstances.

Now Accepting New Clients! My area of expertise is centered around working with individuals with a history of mental health disorders such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

I help people find the tools they need to navigate the changes and challenges that occur in life. I believe every individual's therapeutic journey is unique. In my sessions we work to create a customized approach that builds on strengths and helps create a reliable platform for meaningful growth. I integrate a number of techniques including mindfulness and other skills that can be used in everyday life. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, including young adults, older adults, couples, families, and adolescents 16+.

I believe most individuals are much stronger than they realize, and possess an inner wisdom and resilience from which they are currently disconnected. Life is hard. And it is perfectly normal to struggle with anxiety, depression, and stress when facing upheavals and transitions. Tremendous change and growth is often possible through adjustments in lifestyle and thinking patterns, and the tapping into inner resources that are presently underutilized.

I believe that the foundation of growth begins within the relationship between individual and therapist. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is universal and is an essential part of our overall well-being. I celebrate the courage of individuals who take steps into healing by engaging in the therapeutic process to manifest the life they desire. I am passionate about working together to ensure that you become an expert on yourself and believe in your own insight, strength, and self awareness. I believe that humor and laughter bring out our authentic selves and utilize this philosophy in my work.

My goal is to help you bridge the gap between the person you are now, and the person you want to be. My collaborative approach with individuals and couples strives to understand where we come from, why we do what we do, where we are going, and how we can get there. Through our work together, we can explore what gives you a personal sense of meaning and purpose in the world, and how you can make lasting change in your life.

I believe that each person has their own narrative. I want to comprehend who you are as a person. Things for you to think about as the client: What brings me to therapy? What are my goals? What do I need from my therapist? These are just a few questions to contemplate. It's understandable if you don't know what to focus on as long as you're ready to just start.
