Meritain Health Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

As a licensed mental health therapist for over 35 years, what is most important to me is understanding what the people that I work with want in their therapy. As we face stressful challenges in our lives, we can all benefit from gaining another, independent perspective to help guide us to solutions. The connection between a therapist and those they work with is most important. Finding the right "fit" may take some time, however therapy is most successful when this occurs. I use a combination of Person-Centered, Collaborative and Solution-Focused Therapies.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, but rather it is shaped by your needs and life experiences. Starting therapy can be daunting but I am here to make it feel less intimidating. It is my purpose to find what sets everyone apart, helping you discover and develop the tools you have within you. We are all human. With that comes imperfections, differences, and experiences that impact who we are. Therapy is a non-judgmental space to remind the inner critic that it does not belong. Humanity is strength. I value showing up authentically and genuinely. I am human too, imperfections and all, and I seek to remind you that you are not alone.
