Therapists in Minnesota
Hello! I am a strength based, narrative, emotion focused therapist, and self-identified philosopher. I’ve been working in the field since 2012 with experience in multiple settings, including outpatient, in-home, school-located, and residential dual, mental health and chemical dependency, services and have worked with diverse individuals, couples, and families. However, my heart lies with adolescents, couples, and family work. As an artist, I enjoy helping others find their own creativity and hold a deep passion for life and its beauty. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships dynamics are areas of specialty.

Are you stuck? Have you tried the traditional paths of medication and therapy and been unsatisfied with the outcome? Would you like to address the root cause and directly train your brain to become more efficient and effective? I am a registered nurse who worked in the hospital providing direct patient care for 20 years. I have witnessed the debilitating effect that dysregulated nervous systems have on patient's mental and physical well being. Traditional treatments of medication and therapy alone may not be sufficent for addressing brain dysregulation.

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 problematic and often repetitive relationship patterns. In the process you will 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.

Depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, loss, and traumatic events all have the ability to disrupt our lives, interfering with a clear focus on what is truly fulfilling and rewarding. I believe that each person has the ability to deeply connect with their unique life perspective to clear the confusion, develop their own internal wisdom, and begin living life more fully.

Feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Aware of patterns that aren't serving you but having difficulty disengaging from them? Wanting to make changes but unsure of where to start? We may be fit. In my approach, we will work to understand how previous experiences shape your current reality, and give space to consider alternative and more authentic ways of living. Together we will sit with and process the difficult, celebrate good, and honor growth. We will promote the attunement and connection you have with yourself and others, and build the coping and interpersonal skills it takes to live a regulated and value driven life.

You just don’t know what to do. Feeling stuck and struggling to make a decision. No matter what you do it’s never enough. Overwhelmed and frustrated, the fear of doing the wrong thing is paralyzing. Everything is on the line and you need help figuring things out. Exhausted from the worrying, tired of the feelings of sadness, preventing you from thriving. You are ready for relief, you are ready for help.

I specialize in the treatment of OCD, hoarding disorder, and all other anxiety-related disorders: social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, PTSD, generalized anxiety, tics, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (e.g., nail-biting). As part of my practice, the primary treatment for these conditions is exposure and response prevention therapy, or ERP. What maybe differentiates my practice from others whose principal therapeutic modality is ERP is that I am able to accept a wide variety of insurances. Additionally, I am one of very few clinicians in the state of Minnesota who specializes in the treatment of hoarding disorder.

My therapy model begins with its roots in authenticity. How can people engage with one another, specifically on sensitive or difficult topics, if they feel that the other person is not truly being themselves? I bring a steady presence to the therapy relationship to help manage difficult times and difficult interactions. Through therapy I hope that clients gain awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and actions and in doing so gain the ability to utilize this awareness to create a positive impact on their lives.

As a mental health therapist with a passion for empowering individuals, my practice is centered on helping clients build confidence and reclaim their sense of self. I believe that every person carries innate strength and resilience, but often, life's challenges—whether from personal trauma, societal expectations, or self-doubt—can cloud that inner power. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where my clients can feel heard, validated, and equipped to confront these barriers. Throughout my career, I have worked primarily with individuals from diverse backgrounds, guiding them through journeys of healing and self-discovery.

Hello! What is bringing you to therapy? For many, it's feeling lost, confused, hurt and disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. We can come to feel lost and disconnected because of trauma or stress (either in this lifetime or in your lineage) that hasn’t been digested in our body/mind. It can happen from living in an increasingly lonely and disconnected world. I would like to support you in finding connection and meaning in life so you can experience satisfying relationships with yourself, friends, family and the natural world around you. This is what being alive is about!
