UCare Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
I'm accepting individuals, couples, and families! My passions are relationships and how we process trauma. I love to explore how systemic and societal power structures influence how we connect with our partners, family members, and friends. I work with couples, families, teens, and individuals in areas such as polyamory, boundaries, queerness, anxiety/depression, autism/neurodiversity, masking, sex and sexuality, trauma, stress, life transitions, chronic illness, shame, and anything else that affects our ability to be authentically and safely ourselves. I'm now also trained in brainspotting for individuals looking to process trauma.

Blue Thistle is now accepting new clients!
Through early connections we learn about ourselves, others and our world. Sometimes, safe connections and acceptance have been missing in our lives due to neurodivergence, social rejection, abuse or neglect. We may walk through life feeling like outsiders struggling to understand the world and ourselves. I work to provide a safe place to unmask and develop self compassion, self acceptance and healing. I offer collaborative, nonjudgmental support to explore your strengths and manage life's challenges. My style is compassionate yet direct, and utilizes multiple evidence-based therapy models.

From an outsider’s perspective, you’ve got a great life. You’re accomplished & admired, dependable & driven. But on the inside, you never feel quite good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. You've spent the last however-many-years trying to keep it together, but it's exhausting and you don't think you can do it for much longer. You’re tired of giving so much to everyone else while you continue to come last on your list. But not anymore. It's time for a change.

“Stuck.” This is a word that often comes up in therapy: feeling stuck with painful feelings, with past traumatic experiences, in unhealthy ways of coping, or in challenging relationship dynamics. When stuck with thoughts of the past or worries about the future, this gets in the way of living in the present. Especially as environments are often invalidating of emotional experiences, getting unstuck is about making room for what we've learned to avoid. Through a close and meaningful relationship, I am passionate about creating a safe environment in which we can get to the bottom of what is keeping you from the life you want to lead.

As part of our human experience, it is inevitable that we will face countless transitions, uncertainties, and challenges. These experiences, whether subtle or profound, shape our internal landscapes and narratives we carry forward. If you have something you have been carrying with you for some time or have just been handed a load that you aren't sure how to bear, you are not alone. Therapy offers more than a structured dialogue; it is an intentional space for reflection to explore the past, make sense of the present, and thoughtfully craft your future.

Just existing as a human being can feel so hard right now, and many of us feel like we’re doing it all without any real support. That’s where I can come in - whether it be as a listening ear, a curious investigator, or a gentle push.
I will approach our work together from a systems-oriented, anti-oppressive perspective - with a little comedic relief when needed. I am also a sex-positive and LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician.

I love working with GLBTQ+ individuals, couples, and parents. I am passionate about supporting people who are wanting to; explore their sexuality, desires and/or gender, feel more agency, critique dominant culture, or feel a sense of belonging to something bigger. It is my hope that the therapeutic journey will lead you to feel a deeper connection with yourself and a richer set of community/spiritual connections that let you experience full aliveness. I want to co-create a space of courageous introspection that allows you to look back at your past and to name the moments in your present that need tending.

Life can feel overwhelming—stress builds, anxiety lingers, and old patterns resurface no matter how hard you try to move past them. Maybe you've reached midlife and suddenly feel like you don’t quite recognize your life - or even yourself - anymore. Maybe you are longing to feel more grounded and connected. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a supportive space to find relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of balance. I welcome exploration of alternative and holistic paths to wellness, honoring that there is no single “right” way to heal—only the way that feels most authentic and empowering for you.
