Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
I primarily use evidence-based systemic/relational modalities and Internal Family Systems ( IFS) in my work.
My passion for being a therapist is rooted in relationships. We cannot survive and thrive without connection to others - yet how can it get so messy and complicated!? As a couples and family therapist, I am dedicated to support you through those hard times. Viewing your relationship as my "client", I aim to help identify patterns and cycles that are keeping you stuck and disconnected. Your differences are complex, but I view them as possibilities to build a strong team. In addition to couples work, I enjoy working with individuals experiencing family and relationship issues, career concerns, anxiety, and difficult life transitions.

With curiosity and care, we’ll draw from narrative, IFS, and reality therapy to explore patterns, support the parts of you that need attention, and build practical tools for meaningful change.
Hi, I’m Kevin—a mental health therapist, father of two young children, and a lifelong musician. Each of these roles shapes how I show up: with curiosity, patience, and deep empathy. Life doesn’t always go as planned, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space where your story is heard, respected, and valued. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, reconnect with your inner strengths, and move forward with clarity and purpose. I believe lasting change begins with self-compassion—and from that foundation, healing, growth, and meaningful transformation can take root.

I am an EMDR certified clinician and consultant who is also trained in IFS and many advanced EMDR protocols.
I provide therapeutic treatment for adults struggling with a variety of concerns such as: trauma and abuse, intense anxiety or depression, relationship struggles, persistent negative beliefs and unwanted intrusive thoughts, body sensations and emotions that are overwhelming and/or confusing.
