Are you in recovery or suffering from an addictive behavior? I run a DBT skills-based treatment for addiction recovery focused on emotional regulation, relapse prevention, and building a meaningful sober life. If you recognize that any of these are getting in the way of your recovery and you are medically stable, this may be the right option for you:
• relapse despite motivation
• emotional triggers
• loneliness and isolation
• self-destructive coping
• impulsive behaviors
• shame spirals
• black-and-white thinking
• difficulty tolerating distress sober
• relationship chaos
• “white-knuckling” recovery

The men I work with care deeply about their relationships. They want to be steady, reliable, emotionally present partners. But no one ever taught them how to do that. They were raised to provide, protect, and stay composed. Now they’re being asked for emotional openness, honest communication, and vulnerability—and they’re trying to figure out how to meet those expectations without shutting down or getting angry.
If you’ve ever thought, I want to be a better partner, but I don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Nikki and I believe in the power of storytelling and the inherent wisdom of our embodied experiences. Each person in this world is an expert in their own life and you have permission to be human, imperfect, and vulnerable without shame. I see therapy as a collaborative, liberatory practice for us to discover, understand, nurture, and develop your authentic stories and selves. I dream of co-creating a space where we can connect, explore, try new things, and develop functional therapeutic practice for your life together. I hope to help you find a soft spaciousness within yourself that feels connected to who you are.

You may feel like you will never find a therapist you connect with, or that no one could understand what you are going through. The pain of struggle and daily life, especially now, can be overwhelming. You may feel alone in this world struggling with daily life tasks. My passion is helping couples who feel completely stuck in their relationship learn how to communicate effectively, as well as individuals seeking therapy who need support to find themselves again. I have competency in all types of relationships, people with physical &/or intellectual disabilities, OCD and anxiety, parenting, sexual orientation, and addiction.

Are you thinking about changing your drinking or substance use, but not sure the typical “go to rehab” approach fits for you? I work with people who want a more individualized, thoughtful way forward. Some have been through treatment before and are looking for something different. Others don’t need a higher level of care, but want to take a closer look at their use while still managing work, family, and daily life. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in real-world addiction treatment. We’ll work to understand what’s going on and build a plan that fits you.

I primarily see adults.
I work with clients feel their positive and negative emotions deeply. I work by listening closely and pushing clients know what's going on inside that is driving anxiety or depression, or causing relationships to falter. My hope is that clients are open to this collaboration to explore emotions, relationship patterns in their lives and seek new ways of being.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to look within and explore the patterns that have shaped their life—someone who may feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain but still has a deep desire to grow and heal. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or unresolved family dynamics that continue to influence their present experiences. Often, these clients have spent much of their lives caring for others or managing responsibilities, and now they are realizing it’s time to turn inward and nurture themselves.

Current afternoon openings. Clients often tell me they feel overwhelmed with anxiety in parenting or their marriage. They feel unable to manage daily stressors or keep up with expectations at home and work. Daily stressors feel heavy and they end up arguing with their spouse, kids or coworkers. There are evidence-based techniques that can help you feel more in control to manage conflict effectively and role model better strategies. Triggers feel awful and there are proven remedies to stop them. Together through therapy we can eliminate negative thoughts and memories that prevent you from being your best self and feeling happier.

I work with adults 18+ and specialize in life transitions, managing stress, anxiety, trauma and addiction, and have a particular interest in how our childhood experiences impact us as adults.
Welcome to Through the Woods Counseling! I am a feminist therapist licensed in the state of Minnesota to treat co-occurring disorders - that’s just a way of saying I’m trained in working with folks that struggle with more than one issue at a time. Think things like anxiety and alcohol abuse, trauma and depression, stress management and ADHD, and so on… I believe mental health diagnoses can be helpful in giving us a starting point for evidence based ways to improve our mental wellness, but they are also labels rooted in and created by classically oppressive systems, so diagnosis is not a primary focus of sessions.

Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or a quieter existential weight, and have tried hard to feel better, without things quite adding up. They're thoughtful, self-aware, genuinely trying. What's rarely obvious is that the mind and body are deeply intertwined, and that our most natural responses to suffering, pushing it away, waiting it out, working harder to control it, can end up keeping us more entangled. That's not a personal failing. It's just how the mind works, and fortunately, there is another way.

People who have experienced specific traumas work well with me, as do those who have struggled for a long time with hard-to-define, deep-seated patterns of thinking, feeling and relating.
As a therapist I have some annoying tendencies. I think everything you say and do is meaningful (especially when you deny it), I always suspect you are caught up in some feeling or other about me, and I often answer questions with questions. If you can put up with it, you’ll gain a compassionate listener and ally. You’ll also quickly get a sense of the freedom and peace that can be achieved through the type of therapy I practice - psychoanalysis.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
