HealthPartners of MN and WI Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

I believe that each person comes to therapy with a unique perspective and set of strengths; and that it is through a combination of tapping into these innate strengths and learning new skills that you can begin to live your best life. As a therapist, I believe my role is to provide you with a supportive and nonjudgmental environment to process life's challenges, to support you in exploring and increasing insight into the impact of these challenges on your everyday life, and to facilitate the learning of new skills and perspectives to address these challenges and improve your life.

Sometimes life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, making it seem as if we have little control over the path our lives are taking. Trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and other life challenges can make ordinary life difficult to navigate. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment that allows my clients to gain mastery over their situation rather than allowing their circumstances to run their lives. My therapeutic approach is culturally sensitive, collaborative, unique to each client, and focuses on client strengths.

My therapy style is engaged and proactive. Clients repeatedly tell me they feel safe and accepted in therapy to explore their issues, whatever they happen to be. I ask questions and make frequent observations to help clients (1) increase self-awareness and become more comfortable with themselves and their feelings, (2) to make better choices, (3) toward greater satisfaction in their lives and relationships. My unique history helps me understand and relate to the many struggles clients face, without judgment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Stuck in the same old rut? Have you been to therapy before but your symptoms keep returning? Do you feel like you have succeeded in some areas of your life, but something inside just isn’t right? Are you asking yourself those big questions, like what is the meaning of my life? Struggles like this often prompt us to move toward self-discovery. In a warm and authentic atmosphere, we converse about you. Understanding yourself can not only help alleviate symptoms, but can help you come to terms with the issues underlying them, and in time, helps you live your life more fully.

If you're feeling alone in whatever you're struggling with, I'm here to help. I have compassion and vast life experience to help support and guide you through this. I provide a safe and accepting space, where you can access your most creative, intuitive self, and find answers within. Together, things won't seem so hard. I am offering my regular services via telehealth or in person. Email me for more information.

I am passionate about helping women cope with everyday stress caused by a variety of sources. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, I can help. I believe in helping women achieve a positive relationship with themselves so they feel whole, heard, and happy in life. Some of the issues and life areas I can help you resolve include going through divorce/relationship ending, eating disorders, sexual assault/trauma, work life balance, professional development, depression and anxiety, as well as other mood disorders, sensory processing disorders (including highly sensitive individuals), life transitions, grief/loss.

"I am not crazy," is the first thing many hear when thinking of mental health. Mental health is less about being crazy and more about over all well-being. Research shows that expressing ourselves can lead to positive change and better understanding of ourselves. During our journey together, I respect my clients by bringing in a culturally informed and non-judgmental lens, utilizing personal, religious/spiritual, and/or cultural strengths approach to healing. Together we will work on listening to our bodies and minds, integrating both in ways that bring positivity and restoration to ourselves and our relationships.

Do you want to get to know yourself better? Therapy is a powerful tool in helping you do just that. In our work, I'll create a safe and nurturing space in which we can reduce your symptoms and achieve insight. Through our talk we'll uncover negative patterns. These patterns appear in our personal relationships or professional lives, and often in both. Often they appear most prominently when a life change happens. By understanding these unhelpful patterns, we can then address them so that you can lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life - and get "unstuck!" I work with many who identify as LGBTQ+ and am an ally.
