Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Do you question if your wants and needs are reasonable? Have you been told you're "too sensitive"? Are you finding yourself in relationships where you give more than you get? Does it seem impossible to get out of your own head? As a therapist, I am committed to empowering women to trust themselves, understand the science behind their "symptoms," and ultimately improve their relationships (whether in one or not). I'll help you develop skills to support connection while reducing self-doubt and worry.

I help women use the wisdom of their own bodies to heal from traumas large and small. I believe unrecognized trauma is the core and cause of much suffering women experience in daily life. I also believe, no matter your past experiences or your story, that you have the innate ability to feel whole again.

As a mental health therapist, my mission is about enriching lives, invoking hope, and instilling positive interactions into my clients' memories and hearts. Guiding individuals through their darkest moments and witnessing their journey towards healing is a privilege I hold with profound respect. By fostering an environment of trust and mutual respect, I aim to empower clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace. I am dedicated to contribute to a world where mental and emotional health is prioritized.

Psychotherapy is something that happens between people...you and me. It is a process that I expertly and sensitively guide, but it is something that we experience together. Relationships, past and present, may be a source of pain, frustration, or fear...but they are also the key to unlocking your full potential. Together, we will work to alleviate your most pressing problems as well as to develop a fuller understanding of the deeper, underlying issues that keep you stuck in emotional and relational patterns that limit your capacity to more fully give and receive love.

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 have practiced for 36 years in Minnesota, seeing children, adults, couples and families. My practice currently is primarily with adults and couples (and teens) who are seeking a therapist who is collaborative, offers guidance and new perspectives, and believes the client is ultimately in charge of change. I value awareness, mindfulness and the process of living out a personal story that is based on strengths and hopefulness. Above all, I believe that if people feel respected and cared for they are capable of growth and moving through even the most difficult times.

Are you a kind and thoughtful person who cares for others yet struggles to find time for yourself? Do you find it difficult to relax?

My warmth, collaborative approach, and expertise guides clients to be self-reflective, develop tools, and create lasting change.

I work with individuals who seek to better understand themselves and how they interact with the world. My job is to build meaningful connections with my clients so that I can identify relational patterns that contribute to depression and anxiety, guilt, overwhelm and shame. I have learned that how we chose to relate to caregivers in childhood influences how we create and maintain relationships in adulthood. I help clients become aware of the cycle that is being unconsciously repeated so that they can eventually exercise choice to change.

My commitment is to help you make positive life changes. There are times when we are faced with obstacles and difficulties that interfere with growth and development, preventing us from achieving goals and aspirations, and diminishing our happiness and wellbeing. Psychotherapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental setting to discover solutions to challenges. With the powerful tools of communication and insight, I will help you identify counterproductive patterns and habits preventing you from living an optimal life. Together we will recognize and build upon your strengths and skills, develop new resources and strategies, and discover beneficial, healing ways of approaching your life.

I come to the mental health field with a desire to serve my community, you, to connect to your authentic self and ignite your healing journey. I believe you already have the internal resources for your healing. I am here to walk with you to discover how to access those resources. I am passionate about social justice and equity in mental health and strive to provide counseling services that address cultural and contextual factors in diverse communities to ensure all members are psychologically and physically safe and secure.

I primarily work with children experiencing behavioral struggles, difficulties in the parent-child relationship, anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or life stressors. In addition, I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life stressors, interpersonal relationship difficulties, and/or parenting stressors.

I am passionate about working with individuals who feel disconnected from parts of themselves. Perhaps you are highly logical but struggle to identify or feel emotions. Or maybe you feel emotions so intensely that your sense of self gets lost. I use various modalities including narrative therapy, mindfulness, and the use of symbols and metaphors to assist in the discovery of a more expansive self where there is love, again or for the first time, for rejected parts.

Feeling down lately, unable to cope, overwhelmed and nothing seems to lift your spirits? Does stress, anxiety or excessive worry affect your daily routine and your relationships? It might be time to seek help from a licensed professional. Together we concentrate on how you are currently feeling emotionally and physically, how your thoughts and feelings are affecting your relationships and your daily life. We will focus on how we can work together to lift your spirits and help you cope with the challenges that come your way.

Life brings challenges for us all! I offer a person-centered therapeutic experience that is deliberate, supportive, and empowers you to change and grow in intentional and meaningful ways.

Changing our lives takes courage and unfolds in the context of a nourishing and accepting environment where one can explore new possibilities for their life.
