Blue Shield Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
The foundation of growth begins within the relationship between individual and therapist. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is universal and is an essential part of our overall well-being. I celebrate the courage of individuals who take steps into healing by engaging in the therapeutic process to manifest the life they desire. I am passionate about working together to ensure that you become an expert on yourself and believe in your own insight, strength, and self awareness. I believe that humor and laughter bring out our authentic selves and utilize this philosophy in my work.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, stress, or perfectionism—especially when they're feeling stuck in rigid or overwhelming patterns of thought or behavior. I also often support young people navigating relationship challenges or major life transitions, such as changes in school or family, moving, or coping with grief and loss. I believe that a strong therapist-client relationship is at the heart of meaningful therapy, and I bring authenticity, empathy, warmth, and a touch of humor into sessions to help clients feel comfortable and understood.

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a pattern that isn't serving you? Asking for support can often be a step toward healing. I am passionate about walking alongside your journey to recovery, resilience, and self-discovery. By exploring the relationship between the brain, body, and our need for connection, we can understand and heal the parts of ourselves that are hurting. I emphasize holistic health and enjoy bringing humor into navigating everyday stressors and life transitions. Before starting my practice, I worked in management & non-profits and bring this diverse set of skills to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, self-discovery, rumination, and building a loving relationship with themselves. I also support those navigating estranged relationships. With couples and parents, I help them navigate shifts in their relationship dynamics—whether expanding their family, managing parental burnout, or feeling the weight of the invisible load. I encourage couples to embrace healthy communication, approach conflict with curiosity, and cultivate safety during vulnerable moments. I also specialize in supporting mothers with boundaries, anger, community building, and the challenges of PPA/D.

My passion for being a therapist is rooted in relationships. We cannot survive and thrive without connection to others - yet how can it get so messy and complicated!? As a couples and family therapist, I am dedicated to supporting you through those hard times. Viewing your relationship as my 'client', I aim to help identify patterns and cycles that may be keeping you stuck and disconnected. Your differences are complex, but I see them as opportunities to build a stronger, more connected team.

Are you feeling lost or like you’re not where you should be? Are you struggling with feeling like a failure or comparing yourself to others? Are you feeling disconnected from your partner or your friends and family? Any of these feelings can bring up deep fear and pain that can be difficult, or nearly impossible to shake. You might even be worried that the spark inside you has gone out. It hasn't. It's just covered up with layers of guck and muck that may have accumulated over many years. What you need is help digging down and uncovering your spark so you can live joyfully as your most authentic self.

I take great joy and have the most experience supporting individuals in the transitional age of 18 through 25 years old. Although, I am open to, and have history in, supporting people 18 years and older. As a queer provider, supporting individuals within the LGBTQIA2S+ community is personally important to me. This has always been an important population as this community has been under-represented and under supported by knowledgeable therapists.

I work with individuals navigating challenges related to mental health, trauma, substance use, and family dynamics. You may be seeking support in recovery, healing from past experiences, or finding balance during a major life transition. Many of the people I work with are motivated to understand themselves more deeply, improve relationships, and build healthier patterns. They’re looking for a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Life may look good out on outside —a job or a career, solid relationships, a family maybe, and a circle of friends. But on the inside, things might feel different. Perhaps you find yourself feeling unfulfilled, stuck in recurring emotional struggles, or disconnected from the people and moments that matter most to you. Maybe you feel weighed down by comparisons, regrets, grief, or the constant push to do more, leaving you unable to pause and appreciate your progress. No matter how hard you work or how much you give, there’s a sense that it’s still not enough.
