Therapists Beginning With S in Minnesota
Hi! I am from rural MN and have a passion for helping anyone who walks through my door. My approach to therapy is to meet you wherever you are and assist you in reaching your goals. We all need help now and then and it can be challenging asking for it. I am here to listen, validate, and support you through your life's journey. I am a provider who is real and honest. I have a military background and can be blunt if that is desired and needed. Many of my clients tell me how much they love my realness and bluntness so they can move forward and not stay stuck in their old patterns.

I enjoy working alongside individuals (18+) towards their unique goals. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, relational stressors, and concerns related to pregnancy and postpartum. I understand that it can be challenging to reach out for therapy and find the right therapist. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for each client to explore their life experiences, navigate change, and move towards healing and hope.

I welcome clients from all spheres of life & lived realities. I am currently accepting clients for individual, couples (including poly/non-monogamy), & group therapy. Most of my professional experience has been with communities that are underrepresented, under supported, economically limited, identify as BIPOC, neurodivergent, and/or LGBTQIA+. As a gay nonbinary person, I am especially passionate about working with folks from the queer community.

I am a warm, welcoming, inquisitive counselor who wants to get to know you and your story.

I aim to dig through the difficult aspects of life with you, as well as celebrate your victories. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, reading, exploring the beauty of nature, and baking.

Life hands us many experiences. Sometimes we struggle with things beyond our control. Difficult thoughts, feelings or circumstances. Therapy gets to be a space where you are supported with whatever it is. Addressing current stressors, finding new ways to cope or heal from past experiences. You may be focused on self-growth, life transitions or building better relationships or intimacy. In therapy, you get to do those things.

Many of the folks I work with are carrying a lot: navigating neurodivergence, adjusting to a diagnosis, or trying to show up in relationships without losing themselves in the process. Others are part of a couple stuck in patterns where even love starts to feel lonely. Whether it’s individual or relationship work, you might just be looking for a space where you feel understood without having to justify why things feel hard.

Are you contemplating therapy? Asking yourself if you really need it? The decision to participate in therapy is very personal and rarely straightforward. The majority of clients I work with are competent, well-functioning individuals who are struggling in some way or are feeling dissatisfied, unhappy, or stuck. Whether it's regarding a past experience, your everyday life, your relationship, fears about the future, or something more devastating or extraordinary, therapy can help.

"What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us (Ralph Waldo Emerson)." This quote has always been one of the guiding forces in my therapeutic practice. I believe we are all capable of becoming the best version of ourselves, which includes living a life that is healthy, happy, and fulfilling!

Rely on me to help you leave each session feeling accepted and understood. Whatever your hope, the immediate—and often central—aim of therapy is that you feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Perhaps you seek relief from a specific symptom, help addressing a particular diagnosis, or support enduring a difficult time. Maybe you are struggling with low self-esteem, questions of purpose or identity, or with a vague sense of emptiness or disquiet. Or, you may seek couples therapy to reduce the frequency and intensity of fights, resolve thorny issues, or rebuild after a breach of trust.
