Medical Assistance Therapists in Saint Paul, MN
I’m passionate about helping BIPOC teens and young adults navigate the challenges of growing up in a fast-paced and often overwhelming world. With a deep belief in the power of genuine connection, I work to build strong, trusting relationships with every client—because I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and heard. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I try to create a safe, non-judgmental space where teens can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence. I aim to walk alongside my clients as they find their voice and grow into themselves.

I know it can be hard to reach out for help, especially when you're reaching out to a stranger. I really hope that you take this important step. You deserve to feel better. I promise to listen to what's bothering you, what's important to you, and to help you be the best you. I'm not here to judge or make you into someone you don't want to be.

I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic space that honors and affirms the rich diversity of human experience. I am committed to helping individuals explore identities that are important to them, whether that involves navigating LGBTQIA2S+ experiences, traversing the complexities of neurodiversity, exploring gender expression, processing relational stress and miscommunication, working through the highs and lows of parenthood, or overcoming challenges related to substance use and addiction. I belong to many of the communities that I serve, and I strive to provide a non-judgmental space, while also challenging rigid thinking patterns.

I am passionate about meeting people right where they are emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Many clients who felt anxious about beginning therapy have expressed how quickly they felt comfortable with me. I consider it a great privilege to work with individuals and families during formative years of growth and transition. My goal is to provide a safe environment that is both supportive and challenging.

When life gets hard, practicing self-compassion often takes a back seat to your problems. You may be finding that feelings of hopelessness and negative self-talk have become barriers to your healing. Through therapy, we can work together to ignite your self-compassion by re-working your patterns of thinking, exploring your past experiences, and connecting yourself deeply with your emotions.

You feel shut down, trapped by negative feelings and memories. Unhappiness and worry are familiar companions. Negative emotions and thoughts interrupt the ability to be your full self. Unsatisfying relationships with friends and family sap your energy. You’d like to change the patterns in your life that don't seem to be working, but can’t find a way to do so. You want a therapist who accepts, understands and validates you, while offering real skills and strategies for dealing with your distress.

I have 7 years of experience working in the human services field with a variety of populations. I work with anxiety, depression, behavior issues, attachment issues, and trauma. I pull from multicultural therapy, person-centered therapy, and heavily from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to meet clients where they are at and inspire change. I believe in cultivating a strong therapeutic relationship to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment for clients to explore their story and initiate healing.

Therapy is a lot of work. I’m here for the hard work though. I’m eager to accompany clients in the work and be a supportive listener all throughout. I believe that humans are capable of a lot, and even in the face of something big, small steps can be taken to make progress. In working many years at an abortion clinic, I realized that I enjoyed listening to and being an advocate for individuals in their pregnancy and major life decisions. I make an effort to not shy away from difficult conversations. I try to be straight forward and transparent in my approach.

I strongly believe the days of stuffy therapy are in the past. I'm all about creating a laid-back space where you can just be yourself, process life, and work through whatever's on your mind without any judgment. I've been described as down-to-earth, relatable, quirky, and maybe even a little fun. Let's work together to make life a bit less overwhelming and a lot more manageable. Therapy with me is a space where we laugh, cry, smile, frown and - most importantly - grow.

Whoever you are and whatever you bring with you, I'm glad you're here! I'm a relational therapist who enjoys supporting people across the lifespan in navigating transitions, exploring identity, and strengthening relationships. I am particularly drawn to working with teens, Jewish folks, couples—particularly those in interracial/intercultural relationships, those working to heal personal, relational, or intergenerational trauma, and anyone desiring depth work and personal insight. I have particular skills working with Neurodiverse clients, drawing on my personal experience and clinical practice.

When it’s too hard to find words for your big emotions, experiences, dreams, and ideas, art therapy can be a vessel for new ways to express yourself and work towards healing. Some of my clients already consider themselves artists, but many of them don’t. Often, people come to me with harsh self-criticism, negative self-talk, and perfectionism (frequently stemming from internalized oppression, marginalization, and other traumatic experiences) that has kept them from exploring and developing their creativity and left them feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I love working with adults and teens of all backgrounds.

I'm a psychologist assisting people with a wide variety of problematic situations. I have 40 years in the field of mental health counseling and consulting. My practice consists of Telehealth & (limited) home visits during the afternoons and evenings, and consulting in the community in institutional settings. My 4 decades in mental health have taught me the importance of critical lifestyle practices and habits that make or break our mental health, and our overall well being. These include circadian health, sleep hygiene, and a healthy relationship with food, movement, and good ol' Mother Nature.

If you're looking to feel more solid, confident, and sure of who you are, I offer a space where you can grow roots that lead you to feeling like a sturdier version of yourself. I believe that healing happens best in the context of connection with others, experimenting with ways you can grow your willingness to choose vulnerability. You can count on me to be a compassionate, present listener, with a sprinkle of warm humor and authenticity. Difficult experiences shape the way that we see the world and navigating that alone can feel overwhelming.

I'm an Indigenous (Sugpiat and Anishinaabe), nonbinary, queer, currently non-disabled, covid conscious, justice-oriented provider. I believe therapy is not meant to "fix" or "solve," rather a place to be curious, explore, learn/unlearn patterns, and invite flow, grace and compassion. I primarily use a present-centered, relational, somatic-based approach, as well as center collaboration and consent, and acknowledge various ways intersecting oppressive societal structures shape us.

Welcome! I'm glad you found my profile. Even if you decide I'm not the right therapist for you, I want to commend you for taking the first step toward improving your mental health. Often, finding the right provider is the hardest part of therapy. I might be the therapist for you if any of the following apply: you've experienced traumatic events and feel stuck, you're grappling with professional burnout or compassion fatigue, you're breaking a family cycle of abuse, or if you've tried traditional talk therapy and need something different.

To be more productive in your work, having healthier and deeper relationships, and to be more comfortable with yourself, are among the many benefits of therapy.

Life is constantly moving, changing, and evolving. Sometimes it feels like too much to take on alone. In a fast-paced world with many truths, I enable individuals to fully understand themselves in a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free environment. I know what it feels like to be scared to take the first step; to go through the hard work in order to grow. Because of that, it makes me the therapist I am today. Empathetic, understanding, and compassionate. These qualities are what I bring into our sessions in order to support you in becoming the best version of yourself.
