Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

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.

I offer therapy for people looking for compassion, accountability, & even humor in their therapy journey. Leaning into my own life experiences, I aim to be radically curious about your unique perspectives and adaptations to life’s challenges. Through conversation we will examine patterns, explore values, clarify emotions, and sit with the complexity and duality within each person and the world around us. I welcome open conversations about race, gender, class, power, & sexuality. I invite exploration of how history, systems, and forces like current events & pop culture shape your life and inform your mental health & relationships.

Navigating the world as a teen, or the parent of a teen, can be exhilarating and challenging. I am passionate about supporting youth, families, and also adults, in thriving, not just surviving! Being able to identify and express feelings, communicate assertively, and problem-solve are essential lifeskills which I can help you strengthen. I’m here to listen, to care, and to support you as you embrace your strengths, engage meaningfully, and live your life authentically.

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed isn’t proof there’s something wrong with you; it’s proof you want to take the courageous path to grow and heal. Most of the folks I work with are unhappy with the patterns that play out in their lives and are looking for something better. They often wonder if deep down there is something wrong with them. My belief is that you are not wrong - you are human. Our troubling patterns are often protections built to survive the perils of bad relationships, trauma, and systemic oppression. Dismantling these patterns and building new ones can lead you to a more hopeful, more connected life.

I work with adults facing a variety of challenges who desire to make meaningful changes in the ways they understand and work with emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I draw from psychodynamic and existential perspectives and use an empathic, relationship-based approach to tailor our therapy process to your unique needs, circumstances, and goals. By looking together intensively at the historic roots of problems, insights can develop into ways that old solutions get perpetuated in the present and new possibilities for more satisfying ways of being can emerge.
