Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
I am passionate about helping women cope with everyday stress caused by a variety of sources. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, I can help. I believe in helping women achieve a positive relationship with themselves so they feel whole, heard, and happy in life. Some of the issues and life areas I can help you resolve include going through divorce/relationship ending, disordered eating, work life balance, professional development, depression and anxiety, as well as other mood disorders, sensory processing disorders (including highly sensitive individuals), life transitions, and grief/loss.

I've been working with adults and teens for over 47 years. My approach is empathic, direct, and thoughtful. Given I have a wide background in my training, I adapt my therapeutic approach to your needs. I find that effective therapy is a collaborative approach where we work together to understand your concerns, their origins and most importantly what can be done to bring about both the internal and behavioral changes that will be beneficial to you. My goal in therapy is to help integrate your shame and vulnerabilities into a healthy identity grounded in self-esteem and pride.

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.

I enjoy working with individuals who feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, whether related to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or relationship challenges. Many of the people I see are seeking greater self-awareness and emotional balance and want to better understand how their personality, experiences, and emotions shape their lives. Therapy is a space to explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, uncovering deeper insights that lead to real, lasting change. My goal is to provide support, clarity, and practical tools to help clients navigate life with confidence and purpose.

When working with neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and young adult clients, I don't shy away from those who struggle with traditional power dynamics and authority. I embrace clients’ need for their autonomy to be respected and honored in our sessions. I have a genuine curiosity to learn about others’ experiences, and a desire to co-create with my clients what our sessions will look and feel like. I enjoy working with both young adults and adults who are struggling to find their identity, those who have experienced trauma or attachment disruptions, and autistic clients- particularly those with PDA traits.

When we feel stuck in life everything can feel difficult and like a battle; I believe there is no need to face issues alone. With a collaborative approach, I can help people better understand the life events that have shaped their view of the world. Every individual experiences events that can discourage us. My goal is to help highlight the unique strengths that lie within all of us. I strive to help children/adolescents, families, and adults to recognize the meaning they attach to life experiences. When we understand the meaning we attach to events, we better understand our choices.

All counseling I do is related to work and career issues. You may be thinking about a different career, trying to figure out a major in college, considering re-entering the job market after an absence, questioning what's next after graduating, or are unhappy with your current work situation. We explore characteristics such as values, interests, and motivators through counseling sessions, assessments and exercises. It's a very active process with the goal of discovering what best suits you, keeping in mind the realities of the job market and individual needs.

Like many things in life, in therapy the journey is every bit as important as the destination. An indispensable part of this journey is the relationship between client and therapist. My first priority in getting to know a new client is to work together to form an alliance that feels supportive, trusting, and empowering. In addition, I also strive to create an environment where it feels safe to say the quiet parts out loud, where you can fully express yourself without fear of judgment, and where you can begin to experience new patterns of interaction that enable you to increase satisfaction in your interpersonal relationships.

Working with people overwhelmed by trauma, depressed, anxious, or simply stuck, is a passion of mine. Why? Because I have found in both my own life & professional experience that, paradoxically, these painful areas of our life can offer us opportunity for personal growth and understanding ourselves. To be clear, this is not easy, and takes lots of courage. It's a journey, a practice, which leads to self-compassion & a healthy way to live authentically in the world. In a relationship of trust, I will support & challenge you to find your own inner wisdom, your own answers to wholehearted living.

I believe that healing is a highly unique journey that takes courage, curiosity, and acceptance, but frankly, it looks just a little bit different for everyone. Over the years, I have developed a strong interest in working with individuals navigating life transitions whether that is college, graduate school, becoming a parent, significant relationship changes, grief and loss, or career related shifts. Oftentimes we can feel overwhelmed, disengaged, anxious, and uncertain about what is yet to come amidst all this change. You are ready for something different, you are ready to live a more fulfilling and connected life.

I focus on helping you build and maintain healthy relationships: personal, professional, romantic and sexual relationships. This includes individual counseling, couples counseling, and sex therapy. In individual counseling we can talk through trauma, negative thoughts, adjustments, questions of identity, happiness, or life goals. If you are having questions about intimacy, desire, shame, kink, sexual performance or desire, sex therapy may be right for you. You may be feeling a loss of connection, a wall of miscommunication and a mountain of unmet needs within your relationship and I will help you find that connection and joy.

I see life as a mosaic of experiences, and we all do the best we can with what we know at the time. But sometimes, anxiety, depression or the simple challenges of daily life can hold people back from living the fullest, best story of their life. My goal as a therapist is to explore and bring to light a person’s inner strengths, so they can overcome their personal obstacles and enjoy better, more productive lives and relationships. Everyone, regardless of life’s stumbles, deserves the best life they can imagine, and my goal is to walk with them and help them along this journey.

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.

As an anxiety and OCD specialist, I primarily utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, and ERP (exposure) therapies to help you better manage your symptoms. I have extensive experience treating social anxiety, health anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias, and every subtype of OCD. Depression, trauma, and other co-occurring disorders often exist alongside anxiety or OCD, and can be treated simultaneously. As an ASD specialist, I am also familiar with treatment modifications that could help neurodivergent clients approach their symptoms and manage them more effectively.
