Women's Issues Therapists in Uptown, Minneapolis, MN

Are you considering making a change to your substance use or problem behavior? I specialize in working with clients who either don't want to pursue the typical rehab approach or who have tried it and want something different. Many clients come to me because they're looking for an alternative to typical treatment. I provide guidance to clients as they change their lives while still being able to manage responsibilities at home and work. Most of my clients are working professionals who are looking to make lasting change. I frequently work with couples & families as they navigate problems related to disconnection or problem behavior.

If you are reading this, you may be seeking help because despite life appearing good, even great, on the outside, you have experienced (and continue to experience) unbearable hurt and suffering internally. You may feel alone in your pain or ashamed of what has happened to you. You might be confused about why you aren’t happy despite your success. Psychoanalysis with me is an intensive process of healing where you will receive the care, support, and understanding you need to heal and move forward.

I am a white, ciswoman, eager to work with adults interested in integrating Somatic Experiencing work into psychotherapy, a body based trauma therapy. If you recognize that your personal struggles are connected to the pervasive impact of the social, political, structural and power dynamics in which we live, working on that connection can be powerful. Embodied psychotherapy can be helful if you are feeling stuck and flat, or anxious and feel like you can't turn off, or if you flip back and forth between anxious and despairing. I hope to support your natural resilience so you can move through the stressors of life with more ease.

Your moods are out of control. At times, you don't even feel like yourself and the things you've tried to help you cope up to this point either don't help enough or don't help for too long. People you love start to annoy you...and then they feel hurt in return. Whether you are a parent looking for a therapist to help your teenager or a new mother to a beautiful baby, learning how to manage our moods is no easy task. Together, I will help you understand what's going on, why you feel so anxious, down, or moody all the time and offer a collaborative and goal-oriented approach to help improve your mood and ultimately, your life.

*I have openings for new clients on Mondays and Wednesdays* I work with couples and individuals who feel stuck and are seeking a warm, safe space to explore change and to grow. If you are ready to dive in deep and put in the work to explore yourself, your relationships and create positive change, we will be a great fit. I particularly enjoy working with pre-marital and newly married couples who are seeking increased closeness and support navigating conflicts/arguments, as well as women going through relationship and life transitions such as dating stressors, break-ups and divorce.

As a therapist, my goal is to meet people where they are and walk alongside of them as they work towards who they want to become. I believe you are the expert of your own experience and it is an honor and a privilege to support you through life's trials and tribulations.

It's important to me to individualize care to best fit your needs and address the goals that are most important to you. Having trouble knowing what your goals are? There is no such thing as a problem without a goal, so if you are facing problems in your life it's likely because there are feelings, and experiences you want in your life. The more in touch we become with our wants, needs and values, the more satisfaction we can get from our lives.

If you're feeling burned out, stressed, or overwhelmed, I'm glad you're here. Maybe you're struggling with anxiety, feelings of low self-worth, or with relationships (family, friends, or significant others). Burnout and stress can show up in dissatisfaction with our body image or a difficult relationship with food. Maybe you're feeling stuck or unhappy with your current job. While it is normal and natural to experience discomfort, I am confident we can work together to help you feel more at ease more of the time and to connect your life with your values.

My work at NeuroCALM explores why people struggle to focus and function effectively. Children and adolescents in a school setting or adults in the workplace benefit from a deep investigation of how their brains work. There's wisdom in your story and experiences. I specialize in the process of Collaborative Neurocognitive Therapeutic Assessment (CNTA), identifying problems with attention, learning, and memory. The ability to pay attention is essential to learning and working. If you are easily distracted, have trouble focusing, experience poor memory, or struggle to learn new things, you may benefit from CNTA.

As a therapist who believes in the transformative power of therapy, I work alongside clients as they address problems big and small while balancing acceptance and change. I take a non-judgmental stance and strive to remain client-centered. I believe change takes place through our co-created relationship. With experience supporting clients with a wide range of symptoms, labels, and concerns I work to join clients on their journey to identify and achieve their therapeutic goals.

I have over 35 years experience providing therapeutic services to clients of all ages and with a variety of mental disorders. I am passionate about engaging with clients to help them find their highest potential of health and wholeness. I use a client-centered approach, letting the client determine their own path, identifying strengths and roadblocks, searching for more adaptive coping strategies. I am eager to be your personal coach. I will join you on your journey of examining where you are today and how to reach your aspirations. Together we can examine relationships, professional as well as spiritual goals.

Many people struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety or insomnia. Others have difficulty in relationships, are dissatisfied with work or face serious health challenges. And many others struggle to adapt to life changes, or simply feel discouraged or unhappy. I work collaboratively with my clients to target the issues most challenging to them and use evidence-based approaches to improve those problems. I believe that developing a strong relationship with my clients provides the essential base from which sustainable change can be achieved. I am PsyPact certified and can practice telepsychology in those states.

I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples to live their lives fully and in balance. I work with a variety of clients on abundance of issues. Whether you are a couple who has relationship or parenting issues, or an individual dealing with retirement, loss or job transitions, I am there with you on that journey too. I also have experience and passion working with clients who are suffering cognitive changes. I strongly believe that they deserve to get the support as well as their caregiver to live a vibrant and full life.

***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.

Through deep listening and curiosity, I create a safe space to openly examine and gain insight into their challenges, helping them to relieve stress and achieve a sense of wellbeing. Using strategies from narrative, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness therapies, my sessions are an opportunity to nurture my clients' positive personal growth and change.

You're sure the average therapist can't handle or accept you, because that's what you get everywhere else you go. School, work, almost everywhere, it's been an uphill struggle to fit in and feel understood -- IF you even bother anymore. If you DO find YOUR people, YOUR tribe, you spend the whole time secretly terrified they'll figure out you're not good enough and kick you out. You've been burned a few too many times, which just reinforces your belief that you'll never belong. All that rejection and pain sits in your body and spirit, grinding you down every day. But there's still part of you that believes you can find your place.
