Teletherapy for Minneapolis, MN

Are you feeling stuck, sad, anxious or simply feeling that you are not good enough? Do you find that you constantly compare yourself to others? Do you have a hard time communicating with those you love? There is hope! If you are ready for change, I will accompany you and focus on your inner strengths in order to meet your desired goals.

I am a compassionate, humorous and enthusiastic therapist with my master’s degree in counseling psychology, licensed in Minnesota as a professional clinical counselor. It wasn’t until I discovered the healing power of the mind, body, and spirit approach that I saw lasting change and healing in myself and in my clients. I am client centered, radically non-judgmental, authentic, and honest. I believe in meeting each individual where they are and joining together on a path to growth. I am strongly influenced by Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which focuses on the link between our bodies and our psychological wellbeing.

I have the honor of working with people experiencing a wide variety of concerns including: depression; anxiety; grief/loss; life transitions; chronic illness; postpartum depression; sexual abuse; relationship problems; low self-esteem; family of origin; stress and more. My relational approach is based on the belief that within the framework of a trusting relationship with a therapist, clients can explore patterns of behavior and emotions which may relate back to earlier relationships. Once a better understanding of the origins of these patterns is developed, people often find lasting freedom from their hold over their lives.

I love to work with folks who are ready to connect with their innate power to heal and flourish in their lives. These folks may be feeling stuck in one way or another pushed to experience more, but not sure how to get there. They may be experiencing symptoms such as anxiety or depression because of this internal tug of war, or a sense of dissatisfaction in their jobs, relationships, or the accomplishment of their life goals. We all want to feel empowered to fulfill our dreams and potential in this life and I am here to help you connect to your innate ability to do so.

I strive to join with individuals to create a space of support and compassion where healing can begin. I believe we all deserve to experience a life worth living. Whether it is trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, an eating disorder, or another form of mental health challenge that is preventing you from embodying your highest expression of yourself I will work with you to remove barriers and work toward your vision of happiness and contentment.

I believe that every individual/relationship is unique and I will collaborate with you to customize your therapy experience to fit your needs. I approach therapy with a calm and inviting presence to support open and direct conversation that explores all aspects of relationships and life. I believe in a holistic approach to one’s well-being and I consider the mind-body connection in my approach.

Life can be wonderful, exciting and full of joy! However, sometimes the continued stress and challenges of today's world have made it difficult for individuals and couples to find time to be loving, compassionate, and kind to themselves and others. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted. They are looking for support as they re-engage in loving themselves and growing their capacity for self-compassion and care. Many individuals I see are hoping to relieve and manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and apathy. I help guide clients as they reflect and identify areas for growth and change.

I see life as a mosaic of experiences, and we all do the best we can with what we know at the time. But sometimes, anxiety, depression or the simple challenges of daily life can hold people back from living the fullest, best story of their life. My goal as a therapist is to explore and bring to light a person’s inner strengths, so they can overcome their personal obstacles and enjoy better, more productive lives and relationships. Everyone, regardless of life’s stumbles, deserves the best life they can imagine, and my goal is to walk with them and help them along this journey.

My approach is strength-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I strongly believe that treatment is most effective when it is collaborative, and clients are met where they are in their journey towards healing and recovery. Together we will build a strong therapeutic alliance to address the struggles and stressors that are present in your life.

I am fascinated with the idea of therapy being a form of art that beams in our most difficult times, like an individual’s strength and abilities to seek steps towards becoming whole. I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.

We each have an authentic self, and things we know to be deeply true about our hearts, minds, identities and lives.

She remembered who she was and the game changed - Lalah Delia - Deciding to seek therapy can stir up all kinds of emotions. Maybe it’s been a long time coming, perhaps the thing you used to do to get by isn’t working anymore, or maybe life recently threw you a difficult curve ball. Either way, it can feel isolating trying to figure it out alone. Friends and family can be helpful, though sometimes you just need a safe space of your own to regroup and a safe person to walk with you while you do the hard work.
