Therapists for Adults in Arden Hills, MN
You can make the change you want. And I can help. I can assist you in transforming negative and destructive thoughts and behavior into more helpful and compassionate responses. I start with assessing your particular patterns that are self-defeating to what you would like to change in your life. Then I design a program to help you change these behaviors and cope with your existing situation. This mindfulness-based therapy emphasizes working together to help you with depression, anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, and chronic or emotional pain; resolve relationship issues; or recover from trauma and grief.

I'm a Licensed Graduate Social Worker who brings a blend of warmth and directness into the therapy space. My approach is grounded in a deep respect for the complexity of being human. I value creating a space where all parts of someone—messy, vulnerable, and everything in between—are welcome and worthy of care.
I work with children (ages 6+) and individuals across the lifespan, supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My work draws from somatic-based practices and integrates polyvagal theory, nervous system regulation, play therapy techniques, and mindfulness.

When a couple steps into my room, they experience a warm welcome, a lack of pressure, and research-backed help. We use Gottman, Relational Life, and other concrete tools to break toxic communication loops, rebuild trust after an affair, strengthen intimacy, and find real clarity at a marital or other long-term relationship crossroads. We notice whether trying something different works for you. (It often does!)
I also provide specialized care for Relationship OCD (ROCD). Together, we disrupt the intrusive doubts and compulsive urges that drain your connection. You do not have to carry this weight alone.

Whether you're seeking support during a challenging time, experiencing relational stress, or embarking on journey of self-love and personal growth, I'm grateful to walk alongside you. I enjoy working with a wide range of themes including interpersonal and relationship concerns, emotional distress and dysregulation (including anxiety, stress, and depression), women's issues (e.g. intersection of mental health and menstrual cycle), life changes, explorations of spirituality, values, vocation, and life purpose, and more.

I am a therapist, clinical supervisor, and trainer with almost 15 years of experience in providing services to children, teens, families, and parents. I have specialties in early childhood mental health and permanency/adoption concerns. I am trained in Trauma-Informed Child Parent Psychotherapy (TI- CPP) and completed the Permanency and Adoption Competency program through UMN in 2015. Every person and child is different and I work to use many techniques based on development, age, and presenting concerns. I am also passionate about including parents in a child's treatment and love working with parents individually as well.

Do you find yourself wondering why you feel a certain way, why you behave the way you do, or why you have difficulties in your relationships? A lot of us have open wounds or negative beliefs about ourselves that cause problems- for example showing up in the form of depression, anxiety, panic, self-doubt, or relationship issues. As a human, I know how much it sucks to feel stuck, alone, or like no one understands. As a therapist, I will hold space for you to explore, learn, and heal from these wounds.

Welcome! I found my niche as a therapist when I became aware of the disability rights movement when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed. From then on my clients have been my best teachers when it comes to developing their disability identity and increasing my disability competence. As an ally I have the privilege of seeing clients with many disabilities, chronic health conditions, and DSM 5 diagnoses. Below are some life work experiences that built this specialty and often my clients tell me it is witnessing personal growth and exploration of disability community and culture that opens the door to our work together.

While I work with adults of all backgrounds, I especially enjoy working with young adults.
I’m glad you're considering help for yourself or a loved one. The thought of working through hard things in your life may evoke feelings of anxiety, discouragement, indifference, or even anger. And yet, the next steps may feel confusing or intimidating. I want to be the one to help you with those next steps. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to work with people who’ve experienced the above thoughts and feelings but were willing to go through some discomfort to ultimately be free from long-lasting, sometimes life-long, mental health difficulties.
