Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

I don't believe that therapy has to be painful and it should not induce shame. I practice in a way that will invite you to name what is important to you and together we will discover, recover and enlist available resources that will help you address the problems in your life.

Maybe you're coming to therapy to manage the stresses of life, be they situational, systemic, or internal. Maybe you need the space and acceptance to grieve, rage, explore, question, or strategize. Maybe you're navigating your gender or sexual identity, or your space within the LGBTQ community. Maybe you just feel stuck under the weight of emotions, or you wish you could access emotions that feel distant. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I'm here to help in your journey towards finding belonging, purpose, and healing.

Would you like to quiet the internal voice that is negative, afraid or self-critical? Do you feel stuck or unhappy and not sure how to make changes? Are you curious about clarifiying your needs, wants and patterns in your relationships, whether past or present? I offer outdoor therapy, office therapy and health and wellness coaching. For outdoor therapy, I bring chairs and anything else we need, and we meet in conveniently located quiet parks. Some conversations are better suited for a traditional office environment; we can chat and decide what is best for you. Please see my website if you are curious about coaching.

Chaos and misery are consuming you, your relationships, and your entire life. You have to figure out how to take the reins and get control of your life. You can no longer stand feeling so miserable. If you are wondering if this is just the way life is - it doesn’t have to be! I have seen so many people crawl from the depths of despair to see the light of day - get their relationships in order, build respect and love for themselves, get people to take them seriously, and live desirable lives, all while managing the inevitable pain that comes with it. It is possible and humans are incredible - I see it all the time.

**Please note: E-Mail strongly preferred** Defining oneself and discovering your own inner truth in the face of adversity can be challenging. I can say from personal experience that psychotherapy was immensely helpful on that journey. One of my goals in life is to pay it forward by joining others on their quest.

Feeling overwhelmed with day to day responsibilities, or certain relationships in your life? Feeling unsure about what's next or what you should be doing? Are you experiencing difficulties with your partner? Do you feel if you talk to friends or family you will be judged or dismissed all together? Have you had a traumatic experience/s and tucked it away in the back of your mind? Navigating life's hardships can be a lonely and somewhat scary task; however you don't have to face it alone. My goal is to help you move past the fear and doubt, and take hold of the clarity and peace that so rightfully belongs to you.

I value and understand the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, and work collaboratively with clients to tailor their therapy to meet their unique needs. I work with children (ages 3+), adults, and families and have experience with a variety of therapeutic techniques including play therapy, art therapy, solution focused, psychodynamic, EMDR and CBT.
