Happy to meet you! While this “therapy” thing can feel intimidating, trust and believe you will find no judgment from me. My goal is to give you a space where you can share your whole story, and know you are being heard. I believe therapy is most successful when I let you sit in the drivers seat - you are the main character, I am walking with you on the road to your goals. I make space to process the present and explore the past. I enjoy getting creative and experimental while making space for humor - this road can be rough, let's appreciate the moments of joy! Additionally, I offer guided Brainspotting as a tool for exploration.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and co-creating an environment for you to share and explore your most authentic range of emotions, especially the ones you were taught to hide. I often work with trans and queer community and folks with marginalized relationship structures/embodiments. I use a contemporary relational psychoanalytic lens, and am informed by queer and post modern theory. My work primarily focuses on assisting folks exploring their self through our collective experience in the therapy room together and prioritizes working in depth through interpreting the unconscious.

“Just because the pain is comfortable doesn’t mean you have to wear it.” -Blake Auden-
Change can be scary, even when staying the same feels just as unbearable. Reaching out for therapy, whether you are in a moment of crisis, anticipating upcoming life transitions, or have been waiting for the right time to sift through your past to better understand your present, can be terrifying. I'm here to sit in the thick of it with you and create a safer, contained space for you to discover who you are now, what you want, and what your future holds in your own time.

“Stuck.” This is a word that often comes up in therapy: feeling stuck with painful feelings, with past traumatic experiences, in unhealthy ways of coping, or in challenging relationship dynamics. When stuck with thoughts of the past or worries about the future, this gets in the way of living in the present. Especially as environments are often invalidating of emotional experiences, getting unstuck is about making room for what we've learned to avoid. Through a close and meaningful relationship, I am passionate about creating a safe environment in which we can get to the bottom of what is keeping you from the life you want to lead.

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly". The therapeutic relationship is a partnership between two people who endeavor to co-create change. I have helped clients examine a wide range of issues (relational conflict, workplace difficulties, eating disorders, body image distress, addictions, trauma, spirituality, gender identity, aging, grief and loss, and sexual orientation). We will work together to alleviate your most pressing problems as well as develop a fuller understanding of the underlying issues that keep you stuck in emotional patterns that limit your capacity to enjoy the quality of life you desire.

Seeking support, relief, and possibilities for change, people arrive with concerns, complexities, and often hope and their dreams. They may feel stirred by events in the world, within their families, or unsettled by something within their very selves – the boundaries not always clear. They may be aware of stress in their bodies – some sparked in the present, some from the past, all deserving attention and care. They seek perspective to make sense of what is, what was, or what may yet be. Often, too, they bring longing for a life less cluttered, for a life more meaningful and present.

I'm a licensed MFT and AASECT certified Sex Therapist, located in Minnesota and Arizona. I'll help you find grounded, positive approaches to shift your situation. Whether you're dealing with relationship frustrations or personal issues, it's difficult to wonder if things can get better - and to think you should be able to figure it out on your own. If fights with your partner go nowhere, your sex life is disappointing (or non-existent), you suffer with anxiety or depression, or you or your partner struggle with out of control sexual behavior or drug/alcohol use, I can help. I am engaged and active in sessions.

It’s difficult enough to figure out what you want. But saying it out loud to a partner? That can be even scarier. What if we don’t want the same things? Or, worse still, what if I hurt them? Does any of this sound familiar? Many people live in silence to avoid the pain of hurting another. But at some point that backs up on you. Therapy is your place to give voice to those feelings and decide what, if anything, you want to do with them..

I have 35 years of experience helping a wide variety of people find their way to living a richer and more satisfying life. I have a deep respect for the mind and emotional life and believe it's difficult to change without resolving the internal conflicts (which are often out of our awareness) that lead to emotional distress, unwanted behaviors or physical symptoms.

Life is difficult. Feeling better is possible. We all have the right and the ability to feel some peace and acceptance about our lives; the things we can control and the things we can not. We may often believe the negative thoughts we have (that we often make up) and act accordingly. You can change your life, your outlook and the way you think and feel about yourself and your relationships. I believe changes and growth occur when an individual is able to challenge their thoughts, examine their perspectives and learn how to be true to themselves.

I provide a safe and secure environment where you can feel safe to share deeply personal thoughts and feelings. My psychodynamic process requires both courage and motivation to change. You will move from where you are to where you want to be. Initial concerns may be about self esteem, work or relationships but effective psychodynamic process identifies hidden patterns and themes that cloud the present and hinder the future. Patients describe the process as "empowering" and "life changing", leaving them with increased energy, confidence and creativity for their lives.
