Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Are you feeling like you're stuck in a relationship you want to enjoy being a part of again? Or feeling like parenting is so much more complicated than you had originally thought? If so, please don't wait any longer to reach out! As a Licensed Practicing Clinical Counselor, who is also a board approved Supervisor, I specialize in helping couples work through challenging seasons and find a life that sparks a new joy for both individuals. I also specialize in parenting, which often has a large impact on relational satisfaction. Together, we can build the life you desire.

Life can be a little overwhelming sometimes and it can be easy to feel stuck. Therapy can be a great space to help you reflect and gain the tools and insight to address what is and what isn't going right. As a therapist, I am passionate about providing a warm and therapeutic environment for clients to explore themselves and whatever issues bring them to therapy. I am passionate about helping you find your inner voice and intuition to create long last change and improvement in your life. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

Are you overwhelmed with motherhood? Maybe you've only started the journey to motherhood and are facing infertility, or are pregnant or postpartum. Perhaps you have small kids and are still wondering when you'll feel like yourself again. You aren't sure if your feelings are "normal", and feel alone and isolated. You might expect too much of yourself, and then struggle with guilt or shame when those expectations are not met. Motherhood and parenting are hard, though this reality is not often normalized. Let's work together to process your unique experience of becoming a mom, improve your confidence, and find more joy in motherhood.

Do you or your family feel tired, stuck in chaos and ready to throw in the towel? Adoptive families may face unique challenges that require a supportive professional who has personal and professional knowledge of attachment adaptations, trauma responses, anxiety, grief, and the adoption circle. As a parent of three, all adopted transracially, I have faced both the joy and struggle of parenting. When working with you, I will bring my personal and professional experience using a sensitive, non-judgmental approach as I help you find renewed hope and joy for yourself and your family.

Getting help from a therapist can be a difficult step -- finding someone you can relate to, who understands, and who provides help in a straightforward, positive way is so important. I am warm, nurturing, and direct. I strongly believe in the importance of our relationship: I help you to establish goals, and we work together toward achieving these goals. I provide practical advice and assistance in handling the issues of daily life, and with addressing and healing from the struggle and pain of the past.

Expertise: I work with women and non-binary folks age 14-65 who are looking for a space to explore how their lives, experiences, & behaviors shape their understanding and authentic needs. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, high-conflict/division of labor couples, and children age 0-10.

Feeling down lately, unable to cope, overwhelmed and nothing seems to lift your spirits? Does stress, anxiety or excessive worry affect your daily routine and your relationships? It might be time to seek help from a licensed professional. Together we concentrate on how you are currently feeling emotionally and physically, how your thoughts and feelings are affecting your relationships and your daily life. We will focus on how we can work together to lift your spirits and help you cope with the challenges that come your way.

***Not taking new clients at this time*** Taking a step towards healing can be difficult. I hope to make this process a bit easier for you. Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time, currently in crisis, need help for something specific that has recently happened, or just value having space to talk through what is on your mind, my intention is to create a safe space for you to do so. Together, we will develop a curiosity about how to effectively make positive changes to assist you in decreasing your current distress and living a more fulfilling life.

My clients tend to be creative over-achievers who need support to make positive changes for enhancing their personal and professional lives. I specialize in substance use disorders and/or mental health issues with an emphasis on co-occurring disorders. Exploring life satisfaction in the 8 dimensions of wellness is one approach I use to identify potential areas for change. Tapping into intrinsic motivation is a primary focus of treatment as we work collaboratively to identify strengths and set/implement goals.

HOPE amid challenges. You've come here looking for hope and have taken the first step toward making changes in your life. I believe you possess a powerful innate source of strength and resilience. This resilience enables you to grow beyond where you are today, heal relationships and change the quality and path of your life. I work with individuals who are bright, motivated people facing challenges with stress, anxiety, depression or dissatisfaction in their relationships. I also work with couples who recognize their relationship deserves more time and attention and who are motivated to seek change.

I have a few current openings for both in-person and telehealth appointments. Being willing to work on bettering yourself takes a lot of bravery and hard work. I am here to help you along this journey. To support, validate, and lift you up. To help you gain a better understanding of yourself. To teach healthy ways of coping with life’s hardships. To encourage you when things are tough, and hope seems lost. To challenge you to do, think, and feel different as you work towards having a life that feels worth living.

For me, it’s all about relationships and community. Parents and their children - kids and their parents, and their siblings. People and coworkers, and neighbors, and folks from church, and everybody else they interact with on a frequent basis. These relationships help us get by when things are challenging - and when these relationships become challenging they can throw everything off balance.

Wild Plum Therapy serves families, couples, and individuals. What do you need now to live as yourself? What tools does your family need to thrive? What are you holding on to that used to keep you safe and now keeps you isolated? What are you and your partner fighting about, and is it time to change that script? We are here to help.

I employ an integrative approach to therapy that implements various treatment modalities, nutrition, physical activity and psychoeducation. I believe in working collaboratively so that together we can reach a deeper level of understanding, consider new perspectives, behaviors, and feelings towards challenging life situations.
