Starting therapy can often feel like writers block. You are ready to compose and illustrate your story, but may feel bewildered on how to begin. The scene is set, the characters are in place, but the plot lines may be out of focus or seem beyond your grasp. This is where I can be of help. It is my privilege to hear your narratives, your characters and your scenes in order to validate, honor and share in your growth. It would be an honor to assist in making meaning of your story for whatever chapter of life you are in.

Hi! My name is Huda, and I am based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I offer both telehealth and in-person therapy services. I am passionate about working with teenagers and adults who are navigating periods of growth, transition, and change in their lives.
My goal is to provide a respectful, genuine, safe, and accepting space where a strong therapeutic relationship can develop. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life story, and I feel honored to partner with clients as they slow down, explore their experiences, challenge unhelpful patterns, and move toward greater balance and well-being.

People who seem to have it together often feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected inside. If you’re navigating complicated relationships, worn down by work stress, or feeling stuck in perfectionism, you’re not alone. We can work on setting boundaries, managing burnout, and finding ways to feel more like yourself. I also support kids and teens who need a steady, calm space to work through big feelings or tough transitions. Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. Together we slow things down to notice patterns, understand what’s underneath the stress, and try new ways of responding.

As a psychologist, I work collaboratively with individuals ages 18+ to help them explore what has led to current life difficulties and to work toward the changes they desire. I am a generalist in that I work with many different presenting issues from relationship difficulties to anxiety and depression. However, I have developed particular interest in working with trauma, adult survivors of childhood abuse, cancer issues, spiritual concerns, and with people with intuitive and empathic gifts. I take an integrative approach to my work drawing on interpersonal, psychodynamic, IFS and mindfulness -based cognitive therapy models.

I've worked in a variety of settings over the years: in schools, community mental health, in home therapy, pregnant and parenting youth programs, grief/hospice, inpatient/residential/outpatient eating disorder treatment and college counseling. In these settings I've been fortunate to work with clients at different stages of life and circumstance. I also consult with parents who are preparing to launch their young adult to college, as this can be a confusing, challenging and emotional time for all. Additionally, I'm certified in Prepare/Enrich, working with engaged and married couples in strengthening their relationship.

No matter who you are or what you’re currently struggling with, one thing is for sure: Your life (and your happiness) is deeply influenced by your relationships with other people. By things that happened in the past, yes. And also the dynamics and patterns that are playing out today. Do you feel frustrated and powerless about how others are acting or the ways their behavior is impacting you? Or perhaps stuck in your own misery and muck. No matter what the situation, you have far more choices and control than you think.

My name is Michael and I'm a psychotherapist based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. You're probably visiting my page because something isn’t working in your life and you are considering making a change. I work with individual clients that are 18+ who desire their lives to be different. I consider myself to be a generalist, but I do specialize in men’s issues, life transitions, grieving fathers, mood and trauma disorders, relationship distress, and other medical providers seeking support. I see a lot of people who have some ambivalence to meeting with a therapist, but have been “encouraged” by their partners to seek help.

You have a trans child and Trump will be our next president. Now what? You have been put in an impossible position: to advocate for your child’s needs and to protect them from a bigoted world. How do you balance these seemingly competing needs when so many unknowns are looming? In short, how do you honor your child’s safety and sovereignty?

Meet Claudia, a sassy boss babe who survives off of memes, froyo, and dark humor.
I am sassy, knowledgeable, and will be straight to the point with you. This is your time so I want you to use it the way you want. Most of my clients are in transitions, such as coming out as LGBTQIA+, having babies, or changing their relationship style (poly/ENM). I also work with clients who have religious trauma and have struggled with purity culture. I am neurodiverse-affirming and love helping find ways to make your brain work for you instead of against you.

My approach is based on the idea that our struggles are due to not having enough room inside of us and this congestion is because of the traumas, abuses, and overwhelming and neglectful experiences we have had in our lives.

Are you seeking a new life PATH? Something CALLING, but you're uncertain where to start? Perhaps you’ve gotten started but find yourself stuck, overwhelmed or disenchanted by the whole process; feeling perched on the edge of CHANGE, uncertain what comes next. Commonly experienced as anxiety or depression (and everything in between), these feelings of DEEP yearning for TRUE connection can be heavy as a ’dark night of the soul,’ or simply part of the unique path YOU are navigating in this world.
Moving through these spaces is my specialty and my JOY. If you're highly sensitive, weird, wonderful or woo, you FOUND the right place.

Writing about therapy is hard, particularly if you are not inclined to use tree or water metaphors. Instead, I invite you to reach out if you are an anxious, perfectionistic (don't stop reading because you think you aren't perfect enough to be a perfectionist) individual who is struggling anywhere on the disordered eating to eating disorder spectrum. Throw in a liberal arts education, and we might be a great fit. I primarily work with older adolescents (17+), young adults, and early career helping professionals (therapists, social workers, nurses, med students, etc).

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.
As both a human and a therapist, I approach life with warmth, authenticity, and compassion. My goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel truly seen, valued, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I meet clients where they are, while also gently encouraging exploration outside of their comfort zones. I try to help folks develop insight into themselves, shift patterns that no longer serve them well, and know—deeply—that they and their needs matter. It’s an honor to walk alongside people through both the laughter and the tears.
