Divorce Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Considering therapy is courageous! I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and validating space for couples, individuals, and families to gain clarity about unhelpful patterns, get support as they work through emotions that are tough to feel and even tougher to share. I hope to help clients build a solid emotional intelligence tool kit to respond more intuitively to themselves and more effectively to the people around them. I believe that in the face of life’s challenges, people are capable of change and of living their best lives. My hope is that you will be empowered to believe that, too.

We are all in the midst of a challenging transition with so many continued unknowns and frightening stressors. We're trying to figure out how to hold onto ourselves, what we know, and the things that we hold dear. It's all so unfamiliar and filled with whirlingly uncomfortable emotions. It may seem like too much to even get your head and heart around. My passion lies in supporting and empowering people to bravely move through the complex transitions that come up in their lives - divorce , shifting away from codependency, and pandemic stress; I am part therapist, holding space for life's ambiguities, and part coach, cheering you on.

Have you been considering therapy, but the idea of being stuck in an office, session after session, is just a bit too much? Over the years, I've found that an office setting isn't always the most comfortable environment for sharing personal struggles or issues. However... imagine going for a walk. Not only is it good for your health, but it can make sharing whatever is on your mind, far more comfortable! We can always remain in the office (and online therapy is an option too!), but if you like the idea of having the option to get outside for a walk now and again, then I invite you to come take a walk with me...

Have you ever had that moment when you're at the mirror, staring at yourself and you wonder, “how did I get here?” Maybe you’re navigating a divorce /breakup, intense work stress, or having difficulty making sense of past trauma. Perhaps you struggle to "open up", or you rarely speak your mind because you're afraid of being judged or upsetting others. You may also be extremely hard on yourself, to the point you’ve become your own worst enemy. So, to cope with all of this, you might turn to substance abuse, overworking, isolation, or spend too much time gaming. But what if it doesn't have to be this way?
