Relationship Issues Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
I believe there is power in exploring and coming to know yourself. We all carry parts of ourselves that served us at one point, and don’t quite work anymore. In therapy with me, we will adopt a curious approach to you to see what we can understand about you, your patterns, ways of relating, etc. One overarching goal of therapy is to build insight and, ultimately, work toward meaningful change in your life. In our work together, I’ll incorporate psychodynamic, person-centered, and solution-focused approaches to meet you where you are and work together as a therapeutic team. I also utilize EMDR to help people explore core beliefs.

Whether with others or alone, I will do whatever I can to help you find long lasting solutions.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for many years and have extensive experience in working with couples, families, adolescents and young adults in a variety of areas.
I believe you are the authority on your own life. Within you exists the potential to express your authentic self and to live a fulfilling life. However, there are times in our lives when we may experience stress, depression, anxiety, anger, or complacency. When this happens it can be difficult to manage our lives effectively and with peace of mind. This is when professional support can be helpful. Whatever concerns you are struggling with, I will collaborate with you to help you identify your goals and develop a treatment approach to empower you to realize them.

I work with clients individually, lead groups, and teach classes at Dimension Center and Chiron Center for Integral Relational Studies.
I work from an integral perspective and understand human experience within a developmental framework that includes inner and outer experience, varying levels of ego or self organization, and personal as well as transpersonal experience. My work is informed by the idea that while suffering is a part of the human experience, so is healing, growth, transformation.

While we work with a wide range of concerns, areas of focus include anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, identity exploration, grief/loss and self-esteem.
Do you worry that a therapist will provide you with "coping skills," which may provide temporary relief, but no long-term resolution? We are a group of practitioners trained in providing deeper and transformative psychoanalytic psychotherapy. We work to comprehensively understand your symptoms in order to not only provide coping skills, but to also help you understand unconscious patterns, unmet needs, and unresolved parts of your past. We will work with you to identify and address these deeper concerns, to help you find lasting change and healing.

I’ve taught classes to teach parents with cancer how to help their children cope, and trained in Imago Couples Therapy for struggling couples.
Many people are finding life more difficult these days. There is often so much to deal with in our personal lives, add the impact of world events and it can all just be too much. Having someone to listen and support you can make a big difference in coping with your struggles and not feeling alone. I’ve never met anyone that doesn’t like being listened to and understood. My focus in therapy is to help you get relief from your pain and explore ways to cope with life’s ongoing challenges.

I specialize in a intuitive based practice, but also somatic experience, internal family systems, Adlerian, person-centered, and emotionally focused therapies.
I understand that healing is not absolute. Emotions can resurface around experiences you once thought you had healed. I’m here to walk through those moments with you—at your pace—while honoring you. Your healing is a deeply personal journey, and I’m here to support you as you reconnect with your inner wisdom. You are your own best healer. A healer is not someone that you go to for healing. A healer is someone who activates within you your own ability to heal yourself. As an empathy-based therapist, I’m here to connect with your energy and offer guidance throughout your unique healing process.
