Do you wish you could put a spark back into your marriage? Are you tired of trying and feeling hopeless? I take a no nonsense approach to therapy and use razor sharp precision to get to the core issues.

I'm here to help you, as an adult, address the challenges of trauma, anxiety, and depression symptoms.

I utilize a solution-focused approach and aim to empower, while integrating the body, mind, and spirit. Through bringing compassion and listening to your story, I work with you to find the root causes of your challenges, identify beliefs, and help you transform them into positive ways of thinking so you have a more joy-filled and fulfilling life.

Whether you are new to psychotherapy or have had multiple experiences in your journey to total mental health, I am here to walk this journey with you. I am a psychotherapist of about twenty years experience, who has worked with populations with diverse mental health challenges. Working with individuals, families, and communities in post-conflict countries in Africa, inner cities, rural America, the suburbs, and the school districts, make me your choice for interpersonal therapy sessions. Remember that the journey to full mental and behavioral health begins with a call. I am a BIPOC Psychotherapist in the Twin Cities.

Have you adopted a child with an FASD? Families often struggle parenting a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with prenatal exposure to alcohol or other substances. Unfortunately, typical parenting strategies usually don't work leaving the parent and child feeling frustrated and hopeless. Furthermore, these children may also have trauma histories, attachment and sensory integration issues that complicate behaviors. I help parents understand the purpose of their child's behavior in order to develop accommodations that will lead to greater satisfaction and success. I provide psychoeducation, school consultations and resources to support the family's journey.

I work with couples, families, and individuals to find their strength, helping to guide them towards healing and a better tomorrow. My work with couples and families is designed to strengthen their relationships. I also work with individuals experiencing the pain of depression, dealing with anxiety, those struggling with the weight of grief, having trouble getting past anger and much more. My passion is to help others grow relationships and become stronger individuals.

I currently offer telemedicine and office visits. I believe each person is unique and possesses the ability to discover his or her answers in an environment without judgment. My goal is to facilitate the path of discovery with each client while providing encouragement, hope, understanding, and education. I value the relationship between therapist and client and the ability to meet an individual where he or she is wanting to focus therapy. I am trained in trauma therapy (EMDR) and specialize in relationship issues, codependency, women's issues, anxiety, depression, chemical abuse and self-esteem.

If you're ready for a change, you're in the right place. I love being able to help my clients release ties that have kept them stuck or in pain. Together we will work to identify wellness goals, assist in building healthy relationships, and move you toward a stronger more vibrant life. My clients say that I am easy to talk to and authentic, compassionate yet challenging. I help my clients to gain insight and tools so they can move on to live a life they feel good about. I work with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples to solve immediate issues, like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life dissatisfaction.

I am a warm, welcoming, inquisitive counselor who wants to get to know you and your story. When in therapy, I employ laughter with a combination of serious conversation to assist you in reaching your goals. I utilize an eclectic approach in guiding you through your therapeutic process, finding the right combination that works for you. 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.

In my work at Innovative Psychological Consultants I know that finding the right connection and fit is one of the most important things in therapy and counseling. I work hard to understand the individual needs of each client. Many people simply need a safe place to process and bounce around ideas. Others are looking for specific tools to help move them in a certain direction. We work together to figure out what will be best for you and how to get there.
