My ideal client is used to being the strong one, the fixer, the reliable one and yet they rarely feel truly seen. They want space to be honest, to slow down, and to understand why relationships or big transitions feel harder than they “should.” I work best with clients who are self-aware, ambitious, and ready to do the deeper work they’ve been avoiding.

I am a clinical psychologist and member of the Minnesota Psychoanalytic Association and Institute where I am an advanced candidate (and current president).
People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. A common reason for beginning therapy is that some aspect of life does not feel as though it is working leaving you feeling frustrated, anxious, or unfulfilled. I enjoy working with people who have had successes in life, yet struggle to maintain happiness, energy, and a positive self-view. We work together to identify problems, both current and past, and new ways of working through them. I focus on the whole person in order to help people live their life in a way that feels whole, integrated, and satisfying.

If you are struggling with relationships, mood, self-doubt, or anxiety, I would love to get to know you and together take a careful look at what is causing your pain. I study psychodynamic therapy, which is focused on getting to the root of issues rather than just a quick fix of a few coping strategies. My hope is that even in the first few meetings you will feel something new, something hopeful, or confront something difficult that has been hidden in the background. I have worked with different kinds of people as a newer therapist. I have found particular success with young men who need someone to process relationship issues with.

Therapy can offer guidance and support in times when we find ourselves faced with painful and challenging life circumstances. We may feel stuck in repetitive patterns that we can’t seem to break — feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do. As a psychodynamic therapist, I invite you to explore the places that you tend to avoid or keep hidden. Through this process you will deepen your self-awareness and gain greater insight into any struggles, patterns, and problems you are facing in life, thus opening new possibilities and ways of engaging in life more fully as yourself.

The relationships we form early in life impact how we communicate with ourselves and with others today. Ways we have learned to cope with challenges in the past may no longer be effective in serving our current needs.
Viewing the self as comprised of mind, body, and soul, I aim to understand who you have been and who you want to be. Exploring what is personally important and meaningful is a unique process for every person. I believe that there are multiple ways of viewing a problem and that you are the expert on yourself.

I support individuals navigating life’s complexities—setting boundaries with family or work, building a life that honors both ambition and connection, and making space for joy. I work with neurodivergent clients to harness their strengths in relationships, school, and the workplace. I also hold space for grief in all its forms—loss of a loved one, a role, or a sense of self—knowing there’s no shortcut, only the path through. I don’t have all the answers (no matter what you’re facing), but I believe you do—and I’m here to help you find them through deep listening, reflection, a dose of humor, and a steady focus on your strengths.

I understand that during our life journey, we may experience mental, emotional, and relational distress. Sometimes we know what is causing it but we don’t necessarily know what to do about it. At other times we don’t actually know what is causing the discomfort or pain, but we know we feel it. This is where therapy can be very helpful. I find it a privilege to walk alongside each of my clients as they work to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and experiences and the impact it's had and continues to have on them.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
