Hello! I appreciate your inquiry.
Let’s talk about healing—what are the struggles that are truly ours to work through, and what might we be carrying that was passed down to us? Offering yourself grace and compassion in the healing process can shift not only your relationship with others but also how you relate to yourself.
As a relational therapist, my work centers on creating space for people to explore how mental health impacts their lives. I believe that trust, empathy, and a strong therapeutic relationship are essential for meaningful growth and healing to take place.

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. I offer many helpful tools and insights on my website (see my contact info).

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in evidence-based psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have an expertise in evaluating and treating anxiety, depression, trauma, current life stressors and transitions, grief, loss, and relationship difficulties.

Before moving to Minnesota, I served as faculty at Weill Cornell Medical Center and Columbia University Medical Center in New York and Case Western School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio.

People come to therapy for many reasons. In the first few sessions, I want to get to know you--what you are struggling with, your hopes and fears for the future, what seems to be getting in the way, what strengths and assets you bring. Together, we arrive at a plan, identifying your goals, sources of distress, and how best to work toward symptom relief and greater satisfaction with life and relationships. My approach integrates several treatment modalities, including psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based therapies, life-span developmental approaches, attachment theory, family and couples therapy.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion and respect. I believe that you are the best expert on yourself, and that my role as a therapist is to create a safe and open space to deepen your awareness of yourself and to explore if, when, and how it might be the right time to make changes in your life.

I have a special passion for working with couples navigating conflict and everyday relationship challenges. When communication feels stuck or patterns repeat, I help partners understand the deeper emotional experiences and attachment needs beneath the surface. I also enjoy working with children and teens, meeting them in ways that feel reassuring and developmentally attuned, and supporting caregivers in making sense of what behaviors may be communicating and how connection at home can be strengthened.

I believe that therapy is a journey of self-discovery, and I consider it is a privilege to walk alongside my clients on this path. Developing a strong, trusting relationship is essential to this process, and it allows us to work through the challenges and achieve the changes that are meaningful to you. My approach to therapy is holistic, recognizing the mind-body connection and drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques to create a safe and personalized experience for each client.

I specialize in working with adults who are looking for a space to learn about and feel compassion towards themselves. I became a therapist because of the inherent value I believe that being seen, known, and held by another can provide. I understand the significance of and deeply value the therapeutic relationship, which I believe is one of the most powerful tools for change. I use warmth, humility, humor, and empathy to approach my clients. I often work with adults coping with depression, anxiety, grief, the after-effects of trauma, perinatal and postpartum concerns, and familial and relationship issues.

Therapy can offer guidance and support in times when we find ourselves faced with painful and challenging life circumstances. We may feel stuck in repetitive patterns that we can’t seem to break — feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do. As a psychodynamic therapist, I invite you to explore the places that you tend to avoid or keep hidden. Through this process you will deepen your self-awareness and gain greater insight into any struggles, patterns, and problems you are facing in life, thus opening new possibilities and ways of engaging in life more fully as yourself.

My work as a therapist centers on my core values of humor and authenticity. My mission is to join with you to understand your story and join on your journey toward self-improvement.

I have practiced for 40 years in Minnesota, seeing children, adults, couples and families. My practice currently is primarily with adults and couples (and adult teens) who are seeking a therapist who is collaborative, offers guidance and new perspectives, and believes the client is ultimately in charge of change. I value awareness, mindfulness and the process of living out a personal story that is based on strengths and hopefulness. Above all, I believe that if people feel respected and cared for they are capable of growth and moving through even the most difficult times.
