First Health Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
Individuals find their way to therapy for many reasons. Perhaps you are suffering the stress of a relationship breakup, loss of a job, death of a loved one or parenting pressures. Or, maybe you've decided it's time to address a long-standing issue that is interfering with life satisfaction. It could be as specific as an unresolved childhood trauma or as general as nagging doubts about your self-worth or a feeling that you're not living your life in ways consistent with your core beliefs.

Accepting new clients! You’re doing your best to keep it all together — working hard, keeping up with life’s demands, and showing up for everyone who depends on you. From the outside, it looks like you are doing just fine. But inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted. You keep pushing through, but deep down, there is a sense of disconnection and unfulfillment you can’t quite explain.
You’ve considered therapy, but a part of you feels guilty reaching out for support. You compare your struggles to what others are facing and tell yourself you “should be fine,” that you have plenty to be grateful for.

My favorite quote is by Diane Ackerman, an American Poet, “I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.” We could all use some help navigating big events, the roller coaster of life, a high stress career or simply losing sight of who you are. You can learn to be resilient, recovered and refreshed. The body/brain that takes over can be understood and rebalanced. We can learn to understand and navigate it together.

As a therapist, I believe that authenticity and the therapeutic relationship are invaluable. I believe that therapy will not work if there is not a strong therapeutic alliance. I tend to be a laid back, compassionate clinician who values humor in session, but I am also not afraid to challenge you and be direct. I believe each individual is unique, therefore I do not believe there is one set way to do therapy. I value meeting individuals where they are at and learning about their strengths to help them in session. I work with adults ages 18+.

A mirror allows us to see ourselves; however, sometimes that mirror becomes distorted through chronic stress or repeated life experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope. Over time, this can shape how we see ourselves, how we handle stress, and how we show up in relationships. I believe therapy can help create a clearer, more accurate reflection—one that supports real, sustainable change and a healthier, more balanced life.

They don’t need to have it all figured out—just the willingness to show up and be real. Together, we work toward relief, growth, and lasting change.
