Grief Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Being a person can be hard! I'm passionate about helping clients through depression, anxiety, grief / loss , and relationship and substance use issues. If you are struggling with any of the difficult feelings of being human, I want to help! When you learn to trust your own intuition, identify your needs, and define your boundaries, you are better able to advocate for yourself and the life you want. I focus on helping each individual to make deep connections, uncover your own inner strength and wisdom, and cultivate a meaningful, fulfilling life. At times you may just need a little extra support where you're at, and I'll meet you there!

Grief can hit you like a ton of bricks, out of nowhere or over the smallest things. It can feel all-consuming, lonely, and confusing. I’m talking about all sorts of loss ; death of a loved one, loving someone with a terminal illness, losing a family pet, losing a job, breaking up with a partner, pregnancy termination, and more. Each one has it's own unique character and pain, just as no loss is the same as another. And still, we can find connection through loss to ourselves, our loved ones, our humanity and our future.

There are times in life when we feel anxious, depressed, confused, angry, grief -stricken, lonely or overwhelmed. My approach in supporting you during those times is flexible and person-centered. I have a special interest in assisting people with life transitions, relationships, grief , positive aging, and LGBT issues.

Therapy can offer guidance and support in times when we find ourselves faced with painful and challenging life circumstances. We may feel stuck in repetitive patterns that we can’t seem to break — feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do. As a psychodynamic therapist, I invite you to explore the places that you tend to avoid or keep hidden. Through this process you will deepen your self-awareness and gain greater insight into any struggles, patterns, and problems you are facing in life, thus opening new possibilities and ways of engaging in life more fully as yourself.

I value collaborating with people to find a healing path together. I will work with you, keeping your goals uppermost in mind, while tailoring a therapy to meet your particular needs and circumstances. I have successfully helped many people find relief from a wide variety of difficult life issues. I would like to speak with you to determine together how I may be of help to you.

In my lifetime, I have learned the value of letting go of habits that harm me and developing perspectives that open me to love and hope. I enjoy exploring therapy in partnership with people who are going through difficult and challenging times. I believe that by working together lasting change can be realized. My experience has brought me expertise in grief and loss , parenting, aging, anxiety, depression, professional challenges and interpersonal conflicts. I am a good listener, hold much compassion and have a sense of humor about life.

I am passionate about working with a variety of ages from children through older adults who are curious to learn more about themselves. I particularly enjoy working with young adults. I am energized by working with people who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss . Whether a client is interested in exploring their past, navigating the present or gaining coping strategies, I do my best to meet a client where they are at, and support them in reaching their goals.
