Life can oftentimes feel overwhelming and if you have wished for an instruction manual or 'how-to' guide, you are not the first, nor will you be the last. My approach works to help you better understand how best to navigate the world around you, especially if the world was not built with you in mind. Together, we can develop the support, structure, and safety that you deserve while going through life. My practice is neurodivergence-affirming and queer-positive. I strive to foster an environment where you can belong, instead of one where you have to fit in.

Someone with the wrong prescription of glasses will inevitably trip and fall, regardless of how good or bad their vision is, and regardless of how many coffee tables they’ve kicked. I aspire to help clients in finding their exact lens, both providing clarity and decreasing undesirable symptoms–even if that’s only coffee table bruises.
I'm currently only taking Minnesota clients. Although it might seem counterintuitive, having your counseling at your fingertips with someone that doesn't live near you guarantees PURE confidentiality both during and even after the therapeutic relationship ends. You can REALLY tell me everything.

Is the thought of life itself overwhelming or are past experiences holding you back? Whether you are struggling with family challenges, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, PTSD, I offer therapy tailored to address your needs and use your strengths to achieve great outcomes.

I find that many people just want to feel better, be happier, feel less anxious. They want to change their lives or at least become aware of their desire to improve the situation. I like the challenge of assisting people with self-limiting beliefs that can create anything less than a fulfilled and happy life. I enjoy helping people with their relationships, marital or otherwise and relish working with couples, helping them redefine their differences, improve communication and rejuvenate their intimacy, sexuaI and emotional.

I work with those who feel like they're carefully managing their relationships and feeling unfulfilled, over-extended, and chronically flooded by the demands of showing up for themselves. They find themselves in dynamics that are impactful in distracting and painful ways, with much of their effort often driven by a sense of scarcity. In my practice, I seek to help restructure the relationships clients have with maintenance, abundance, and reciprocity in their inner and outer worlds.

Hey lovely people!
My name is Jordan and I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and questions surrounding identity. Day to day life can sometimes present a challenge and many feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are or where they’re headed. My role is to provide a space to help clients better understand their experiences, recognize patterns that may no longer serve, and build on strengths. Together, we’ll develop practical tools and deeper insight to help you move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and meaningful.

As a queer, non-binary therapist, my work emphasizes creating a space for other voices and individuals on the gender and sexuality spectrums. I work with all mental health concerns, however my specialty is supporting clients navigating chronic illness and/or neurodivergence. I have lived experience with these conditions and want every person to feel heard, seen, and believed.

To do this, I share pieces of my life such as my interest in drawing or Dungeons and Dragons, being a transgender person with ADHD.
My name is Samantha, and I'm a psychologist. I enjoy working with teens and adults, especially those who have experienced intense pain and struggled with their identity. Individuals who trauma, engage in self-harm, have ADHD, and/or identify as LGBTQ+ bring a lot of emotional depth to sessions which can be channeled into growth. One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is watching a client own their story in a way that helps them find fulfillment in life.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
