"I earned my masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Mary's University. Since graduation I have enjoyed working with a variety of clients from diverse backgrounds. I have experience working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and men's mental health. I believe that every person can benefit from therapy and I approach my clients with an open and honest attitude. I strive to facilitate healthy growth for individuals and families that feel stuck, confused, and discouraged."

"Do you spend too much time comparing yourself to others? Are you frustrated in trying to communicate with those you love? Does your career feel like a dead end? There is HOPE and a way forward. I see people change their lives on a daily basis. I will be with you on this journey, understanding you, helping you to identify patterns that are getting in your way and encouraging you on your path towards an internal revolution and becoming the best version of you. "

"I am a relationship therapist that specializes in working with sexuality. I have more than 8 years experience as a sex educator working from a sex-positive feminist lens. I have worked extensively with queer (LGBTQ), non-monogamy and kink communities. Queer, trans, kink and body positive communities and theorists inform my professional disposition. I specifically enjoy working with clients exploring gender identity, couples and individuals that are navigating communication issues, and issues related to life-stage dynamics and body change as it relates to their sexual identity."

"Are you struggling with anxiety or depression and would like to make changes in your life? Have you been faced with transitions such as relocating, career shift, or relationship struggles? Leaving a partner or community can be painful and isolating. By working together in a supportive environment we can find positive solutions to life's problems. I enjoy providing therapy for clients with anxiety and depression, as well as assisting adults with life transitions such as relationships, career, and relocating. I believe that honesty and a sense of humor create positive relationships."

"Are your thoughts worrying you so much that being asked to make seemingly small decisions feels overwhelming? Have you tried, with little success, to get your partner, friends, even family to understand the stress in your life? If you are someone being impacted by anxious feelings and loneliness, please know, feeling understood is a reasonable and realistic need. I invite you to give me a call or send an email, together we can explore ways you can successfully reduce stress and anxiety and increase the odds of you getting your needs met in a healthy way. "

"I believe lasting change takes place over time in the context of a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I strive to provide a non-judgmental and supportive space where you can begin exploring frustrating relationship patterns, and become more aware of your feelings and deep assumptions that may be continually preventing you from reaching your goals in life. I believe everyone has inner potential for growth. In therapy, we can work together toward helping you find courage and your natural capacity for growth so that you can live a happier and more empowered life."

"With almost 35 years working as a psychologist, I work with a variety of clients struggling with mental health and life issues. Many clients seek my help for anxiety, depression, serious and persistent mental illness and life transitions. My patients include children as young as 7, adolescents, adults and seniors in their 80's. Clients are often referred to me for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relationship issues and sports-related performance concerns. I also have experience working with individuals and families where there are life-threatening health issues, infertility and pregnancy loss for both mothers and fathers."

"It's our reality that human beings struggle at times along the road of life. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and families get over and through these life obstacles. I have been honored and amazed to witness people conquer fears, addictions and harmful experiences that have left them tired and gasping on that road, and once again pick themselves up and journey onwards."

"After experiencing a devastating series of personal, relational, occupational, family, social and spiritual obstacles in my life, my self-talk was often times self-defeating. I was discontent, lacking purposeful meaningful contact with others and felt empty inside. Instead of accepting my reality and the changing interaction between the environment, others and myself - I was caught between staying the same or recognizing and embracing change. Whether you are in a time of transition or a time of pain, I believe that we all have the tools we need to walk toward a loving and meaningful life."

"My name is Michael and I'm a mental health therapist based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I work with individual clients that are 18+, college students, and adult men and women who are seeking brief supportive counseling, as well as more depth-oriented emotional work. I emphasize safety, attunement, curiosity, and humor when I collaborate with my clients. It's your wilderness, and I'm here to help you navigate it. My goals are that you feel safe, seen, heard, and challenged to create the life that you want."

"As an experienced and mature therapist, I value client privacy, confidentiality and respect. I attempt to be non-judgmental and prefer a more interactive, intellectual & therapeutic environment. I value honesty and integrity and ultimately encourage clients to expand their personal vision and awareness. I make suggestions, but don't tell people what to do. I place significant emphasis on the client's ability to make their own decisions, and take responsibility for them. I make referrals when appropriate and encourage assigned readings. I will suggest psychological testing when necessary."

"Have you ever been completely listened to from the heart? Do you know how healing that experience can be? Most of the challenges people experience boil down to: I don't know who I am...I don't feel confident... I don't feel worthy. Let's work together to build your self-identity (so you feel fully at home in your own skin). Let's build your confidence and self-esteem. You can learn to love who you truly are! Let's increase your sense of self-worth and you can experience all that life has to offer."

"I am an artist and therapist (she/her) who helps people create the lives they want to live using art and creative expression in therapeutic and educational ways. I help people develop meaningful relationships with their problems in order to transform difficulties into creative projects that move them towards preferred ways of living and being. I am passionate about co-creating a world of possibilities and positive growth to foster well-being. My work honors people's knowledge and perspectives and seeks to connect them with the things they give value to and treasure."

"Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do your thoughts keep you awake at night? Do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning? Do you just wish you could find a way to feel better, happier, more like you? If you're feeling these ways, I can and want to help. Together we will work towards freedom from limiting thoughts, freedom to be who you want, and to become who you know you can be."

"I believe there is a wise self in all of us that finds ways to communicate distress, and we have it in us to recognize these troubling symptoms as powerful messages that can be transformed into becoming our greatest strengths. Once symptoms are recognized and patterns understood, they can illuminate a path and open the door to healing and improved function. With use of Art Therapy and narrative methods, I work with clients to externalize difficult emotions - creating a new way of thinking that facilitates the development of skills that can support individuals to navigate through life with a renewed sense of self and purpose."

"Therapists can't be good at everything. That's why I devote the vast majority of my practice to couples. Relationships are hard and we can find ourselves acting in ways that surprise even ourselves when things go wrong. So, you won't find me occupying the moral high ground, playing therapy tricks on you, or judging you. I'm marriage and relationship friendly, so I won't push you toward a crisis, a divorce or a break-up. As it is 50% of marriages end in divorce and upwards of 65% of second marriages end in a break-up, so if you have hopes and dreams for making things work, I'll be behind you 100%."

"Life hands us many experiences, some of which can be difficult to handle on our own. Whether you are struggling with issues beyond your control or with difficult aspects of your emotional experience, often healing is needed in order to feel content with life. Together we can identify what's contributing to current difficulties / dissatisfaction and then we can work together to develop your whole self, leading to a more balanced and content you."

"The shame of not being in control of your life can feel so isolating and anxiety provoking. And the thought of talking about it with someone else can feel paralyzing at times. How did I get here? Why can't I fix this on my own? Why do I keep going back? What is wrong with me? Do I have a drinking problem? Why can't I sleep? Do I need to quit or can I just cut back? Why is my relationship so difficult? These nagging thoughts could go on and on."

"We all came into this world with central personality tendencies that have been impacted, for better or worse, by our life experiences and the influences of other people. Nonetheless, our tendencies endure, we're hard-wired. When our life choices and circumstances are compatible with our personality, in our relationships and work, we experience a sense of well-being. However, incompatible choices and circumstances undermine us psychologically and emotionally. Striving to become someone other than who we are always comes up short. Success comes with knowing who we are and working from there."

"I have a deep passion for sitting with people during their darkest times to uncover their truths and strengths that lie within. We all need help along our journeys and it takes great courage to reach out. I see safety as key to help people heal and strive to provide that sense of safety to every client that I work with so that we are able to work towards solutions. Together, we will build more meaning, connection, intimacy, and hope in your life. I affirm the dignity, value, and worth of all clients and promote an atmosphere of openness, security, and respect."
