Life is complex and we can process it together. As a clinical social worker, my approach to mental health is rooted in unconditional positive regard for the client with a healing orientation. We identify your strengths, wounds, and the complexities of the systems you are a part of within a highly attuned, trauma-sensitive space. I see the therapeutic relationship as a space for undoing pain and welcoming your wisdom forward.

I help people find their voice and true selves, whose lives have been impacted by trauma and various forms of abuse in their childhood. By engaging in deep meaningful conversation and exploring with art materials in sessions, we can choose to move from survival and reactions to owning and living our lives fully. Much of traumatic experiences reside in the non-verbal part of the brain. The use of creative art therapy allows the individual to express feelings in a visual and sensory way, allowing for a better understanding of the feeling which allows us to find our own buried truths.

Life, am I right? We can't do it alone. I work with people just like you; People seeking support to find their voice, set better boundaries, have compassion for themselves, heal trauma, or challenge self defeating patterns. I have extensive experience (12+ years) working with a variety of concerns ranging from life phases, self esteem, anxiety, depression to PTSD, Interpersonal Violence and sexual violence. My goal in therapy is to create a safe, collaborative space, where we can work together to address ALL parts of self - allowing you to feel more whole and in control of your own life/emotions and relationships.

If you are reading this, you may be seeking help because, despite life appearing good on the outside, you may be struggling to set boundaries, assert yourself, and develop a strong sense of self. I specialize in working with trauma survivors who are healing from people-pleasing and co-dependency. As a compassionate psychoanalyst with over ten years of experience, I offer intensive psychotherapy to provide the care, support, and understanding necessary for patients to move forward. Let's work together to foster healing, growth, and the development of a more empowered and authentic life.

I help women use the wisdom of their own bodies to heal from traumas large and small. I believe unrecognized trauma is the core and cause of much suffering women experience in daily life. I also believe, no matter your past experiences or your story, that you have the innate ability to feel whole again.

Wherever you are on your journey of seeking therapy, I’m happy you’ve made it this far! As a fellow human, I’ve had my struggles as well. So as a therapist, my goal is to see you, listen to you, and help you get back into your groove. I am an LICSW, Master Accelerated Resolution Therapist and certified in Perinatal Mental Health.

As a somatic (body-centered), trauma-informed, and relational therapist, I take a holistic approach to therapy. My clients tend to have a history of complex trauma that impacts both their relationships with others and their relationship with themselves. I'll support you in uncovering underlying patterns contributing to present day suffering, such as relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and feelings of low self-worth, and help you move through life with patterns that feel more aligned with your goals. From a somatic perspective, I safely incorporate body awareness on the path towards greater self-confidence and empowerment.

I have current openings for both in-person and telehealth appointments. Being willing to work on bettering yourself takes a lot of bravery and hard work. I am here to help you along this journey. To support, validate, and lift you up. To help you gain a better understanding of yourself. To teach healthy ways of coping with life’s hardships. To encourage you when things are tough, and hope seems lost. To challenge you to do, think, and feel different as you work towards having a life that feels worth living.

Psychotherapy involves working together to build connections where safe communication can occur. Most of my patients seek a guide, confidant, teacher, or objective bystander who can help identify difficulties in relationships & devise strategies/build skills to help them cope with struggles in life. I work primarily w/ adolescents/young adults who struggle with "launching" into the adult world of school & work, with adults who have a hard time managing pain & chronic health problems, with people who have struggles related to sexual health, and with people experiencing grief & loss. Contact me directly via my office cell number at (612) 396-6949.

Has the cost of therapy been a barrier to you in receiving the support that you would like? Our vision is to make quality psychotherapy available to all. Our clinical staff offers day and evening appointment times.
