Blue Shield Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Utilizing EMDR, CBT, ACT and IFS, I strive to help my clients identify where they are getting stuck, processing the pain and emphasizing a path forward.

I work with adults who feel stuck, lost, or disconnected from themselves and others. At the center of my work is safety and trust. Nothing heals or changes unless we feel genuinely safe and held in an embodied relationship of trust. This means being truly seen, heard, and understood — not just as a set of symptoms or struggles, but as a whole person with your own unique gifts, strengths, and capacity for growth. Finding the right support can transform how we relate to what is arising in our life. The goal is moving forward with greater resilience and authenticity. If any of this resonates, I'd love to connect.

Andy believes in warmly collaborating with clients to face challenges side by side, working together to foster authenticity, awareness, empowerment, vitality, healing, and growth. His work blends our emerging knowledge of neurobiology with a grounded and human perspective on the contexts of our lives. Our experiences, family, relationships, values, beliefs, and narratives interact with our brain, mind, and body in complex, amazing ways that can take some time to sort out, understand, and learn to master. Exploring these contexts is what energizes Andy’s approach to helping people work through obstacles and learn to thrive.

Something has felt off for a while, but you can’t quite understand why. You’ve tried coping strategies, yet relief feels temporary or incomplete. You’ve begun to notice your symptoms and how they’ve strained relationships, clouded your confidence, and affected the way you engage with the world. It may feel like something outside your awareness needs attention — a deeper layer that has yet to be understood. What you’re experiencing isn’t random, and it isn’t a personal failing. You likely don’t need another coping strategy. Understanding where your symptoms began can keep them from controlling your life.

As a therapist for individuals and couples, I provide a safe setting to develop self-awareness and understanding, and to explore a wider range of emotions. In my view, people have an innate drive to heal and develop, and some wisdom about how to go about this. But there are obstacles, and becoming aware of and finding ways to handle these obstacles can be a complex, at times difficult process. You may have had past experience with therapy that does not seem to go deep enough. We work to understand the underlying issues that cause distress.

You may be seeking to therapy because something feels heavy, stuck, or out of alignment. You might be navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, identity questions, or a major life transition. Perhaps you’re seeking greater clarity, emotional relief, or more meaningful connection with yourself or others. Many people I work with want a space where they can slow down, make sense of patterns, and feel genuinely understood while working toward lasting change.

Are you struggling with depression or feelings of profound disconnection from your partner or friends? Feeling isolated is exhausting. You may have achieved professional success, yet inside, you feel adrift.

You need more than just coping skills; you deserve to reclaim your spark, rebuild authentic connections, and foster the emotional maturity and resilience you need to thrive. I work with creative men, women, and LGBTQ+ clients ready to transform isolation into insight and be seen.

Life seems stuck in the same place. Inside it feels like rush hour traffic, so many thoughts, so many noises, it can be so hard to keep track. Your thoughts are not the kindest and feel scattered all over the place. Your emotions make it feel impossible to figure out the missing pieces. You’re trying to start new habits and make life changes, but you keep finding yourself back where you started. These messages from society and life creep in and it feels like there is something wrong with yourself and your brain. Here is the thing, there’s nothing wrong with you. Sometimes, we adapt to our strengths. Other times, it backfires.

As Rumi says, “This being human is a guest house…” for joy, depression, awareness, meanness, shame as well as the peace or the chaos they can bring into our lives. They come as guides and often don’t leave us until they teach us what we need to learn. Learning to meet and face these guests head-on can require compassion, non-judgmental guidance, patience, support and to know that you are not alone in this human experience. I believe that everyone deserves a safe place to discover who they are. A place to be honest and to be vulnerable without fear or judgment.
