Out of Network Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

I focus my practice on helping others manage their anxieties, enjoy their relationships, and thrive in their daily lives. I am relational in my approach, meaning I believe that how well I understand and connect with you matters, as does knowing how you have connected with others in past and current relationships. I seek to help my clients develop resilience, self-understanding, confidence, and deeper intimacy in their important relationships.

If you are reading this, you may be seeking help because despite life appearing good, even great, on the outside, you have experienced (and continue to experience) unbearable hurt and suffering internally. You may feel alone in your pain or ashamed of what has happened to you. You might be confused about why you aren’t happy despite your success. Psychoanalysis with me is an intensive process of healing where you will receive the care, support, and understanding you need to heal and move forward.

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 am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing individual therapy to adults 18+. I take on a respectful, curious, warm, non-blaming approach, perceiving each client as the expert on their own life. My goal is to empower and guide along the journey towards a healthier and stronger version of yourself. As life may appear black and white while experiencing hardship, I choose to incorporate humor when appropriate.

I know choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to provide an atmosphere that is nurturing and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I enjoy helping people better understand themselves as they move toward change and solve their problems. I do this using therapeutic techniques that are evidenced-based which means these methods have consistently been shown effective through research. I balance kindness with a focus on getting you to where you want to be. My practice includes in-person services in Minnesota, along with the ability to conduct televideo sessions in 32 additional states and territories.

I use a holistic and eclectic approach in therapy because I believe our mind, body, and environment impact our well-being. I want to truly learn about the life experience and driving forces for each individual and couple I work with. I specialize in relationships and trauma- high stress jobs (health care, first responders), infidelity and conflict, childhood neglect or abuse, a family member’s death, or abrupt ends or changes in relationships. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life or what to do with your relationships, it's to support you as you find confidence to live a life that's fulfilling and meaningful to you.

Research shows the relationship between the client(s) and therapist is the most important component in creating change and relief from distress. My hope is to create a safe space for you to explore yourself and your relationship(s) and for us to work together respectfully, openly, and honestly to achieve your goals. I am passionate about working with couples and have advanced training in Emotionally-Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). I enjoy working on marital/couple issues, LGBTQ+-related concerns, life transitions, existential issues, and gender identity. I also like working with mental health professionals and therapists!

Life is full of relationships, experiences, and events that impact us and ultimately shape who we are and how we interact with the others in the world. I strive to join with my patients to work through the challenging and painful things in life so that together we can move towards greater understanding. The relationship between patient and therapist creates the foundation essential to explore and ultimately work through these difficulties that cause pain and struggle. In order to move towards healing we need to feel heard, understood, and accepted just as we are.

Couples therapy is my passion. Given the chaos and the way in which human relationships are being undermined in our world today, I feel this work is particularly needed. As far as human happiness goes, I see time and time again that it is the quality of a person’s relationships that makes it or breaks it. This is really the foundation of my couples therapy practice. More than ever, the world needs couples who have each other’s backs, and can bring empathy and intelligent action into the world.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW 23383) and psychotherapist, with a focus on issues related to human sexuality. Connection, intimacy, desire, love, and joy are the things in life that enrich our human experience. When we struggle with these, life can feel very lonely. I believe that you have endless potential, but sometimes life can get in the way. My hope is to get some of the muck out of the way so you can be your best self on any given day.

So often in life we think the key to finding happiness exists in something outside of ourselves. We change jobs, partners, friends and cities only to find ourselves exactly as we were, living with the same problems and patterns, and ultimately in the same self-imposed prisons. As children, we intuitively develop adaptive solutions to maladaptive situations that enable us to protect our hearts and minds. Unbeknownst to our consciousness, these self-deceptions no longer protect us, but in fact compromise our capacity for growth.

As a therapist, it is an honor to be part of another person's process in understanding their personal worth. I respect and value my client's self-determination, therefore, my therapeutic approach is eclectic to correspond with the matter at hand. I am empathetic, patient and respectful, while building a relationship with my client. I believe that progress begins when my client has established trust in our relationship. I have faith that each client has the ability to discover their strengths and to use these strengths to achieve their individual goals.

I believe in the power of synergy! Collaborating together on your concerns, increases the potential for change. You are the expert of you and I am a facilitator of change. Together, we will work on an approach for moving through areas in your life where you feel stuck. Anxiety, depression, low self esteem or relationship challenges need a pro-active perspective. Identifying, eradicating and replacing your sources of pain with mindfulness and intentional balance will bring more joy into your life.

I provide a safe and secure environment where you can feel safe to share deeply personal thoughts and feelings. My psychodynamic process requires both courage and motivation to change. You will move from where you are to where you want to be. Initial concerns may be about self esteem, work or relationships but effective psychodynamic process identifies hidden patterns and themes that cloud the present and hinder the future. Patients describe the process as "empowering" and "life changing", leaving them with increased energy, confidence and creativity for their lives.

You may have stood in a crowded room and feel completely unseen, unheard, and disconnected to yourself and others. On the outside it may seem like you have it all but on the inside it feels like a tornado. This space provides mental health therapy for individuals who are experiencing dissociation whether they were parentified as a child or they experienced traumatic events. We strive to embrace your values and beliefs without the weight of guilt or shame. Here you can feel connected in a community that matters most to you while calming the storm inside.
