Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

If you're navigating work-life balance, stressors, and likely facing the ongoing challenges compounded by the pandemic, I am here to come alongside you as you seek healing, health and wellness. I have a special interest in serving adult-aged clients in the BIPOC community. Whether you are in college, graduate school, or a working professional, I'm taking new clients in Uptown (& telehealth) at this time. Maybe you are finding yourself at a crossroads, facing a major (or minor) life change. Therapy with me will be holistic, person-centered, integrating your story as you slow down, seek clarity and pursue a conscious, welcomed change.

Every person needs a secure space where they can become their most authentic selves. I strive to approach therapy with radical genuineness, compassion, warmth, and humor. I believe that therapy at its best is a creative, judgment-free space between equals. This creates an environment where you can be yourself and learn to manage thoughts and emotions getting in your way. I like to incorporate techniques from DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, attachment theory, body-centered approaches, sports psychology, mindfulness, body positivity, trauma-informed practices, and sometimes a dash of geek culture references.

As a somatic, trauma-informed, and person-centered therapist, I take a holistic approach to therapy. My clients tend to have a history of complex trauma that impacts both their relationships with others and their relationship with themselves. I'll support you in uncovering underlying patterns and finding relief from experiences such as relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and feelings of low self-worth, as well as help you move through life with patterns that feel more aligned with your goals. From a somatic perspective, I safely incorporate body awareness on the path towards greater self-confidence and empowerment.

Maybe you're looking to focus on yourself in this season. Or, perhaps you're needing to attend to your relationship right now. You could be seeking some premarital counsel. Regardless of what brings you here, I would be honored to walk alongside you in the journey and explore resolve together. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate difficulties in life, communicate better and connect more deeply to themselves and the people they love.

I love to take an integrated approach to working with people and seeing people in the context of all aspects of their lives.

I am passionate about supporting women as they navigate the perinatal period - pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This is a period of transformation, where we may experience changes emotionally, physically, interpersonally, and in identity. The experience surrounding pregnancy and birth, especially when one or both don’t go as planned, can increase feelings of distress, isolation, and overwhelm - adding challenge to an already intense life transition. We tend to have a lot of judgements about how we "should" feel during this time, and it can be quite upsetting when that doesn't match our experience.

I am clinical trainee at Rainbow Health under the supervision of Leah Bonine (LICSW). My values center around decolonization, anti-racism, and social justice. As a queer and non-binary person myself, I understand the need for validating, judgement-free, and shame-free spaces in which we can feel liberated to be our full authentic selves, an environment I strive to build in therapy. I am passionate about working with other queer-identifying individuals overcome interpersonal and structural barriers associated with their identities.

"I am not crazy," is the first thing many hear when thinking of mental health. Mental health is less about being crazy and more about over all well-being. Research shows that expressing ourselves can lead to positive change and better understanding of ourselves. During our journey together, I respect my clients by bringing in a culturally informed and non-judgmental lens, utilizing personal, religious/spiritual, and/or cultural strengths approach to healing. Together we will work on listening to our bodies and minds, integrating both in ways that bring positivity and restoration to ourselves and our relationships.

Do you feel alone in your struggles, whether those are battling depression or anxiety, exploring sexuality, navigating cultural generational divides in your family, avoiding burnout, or how to survive/thrive amidst racism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, and other isms? I work with clients to create a safer and more affirming space to explore their identities, navigate complex relationships, and address the effects of systemic oppression, discrimination, and trauma on mental health.

I have a passion for working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, and navigating the "deep, dark spaces" of life. I also focus on working with clients who have borderline personality disorder, and who feel life's ups and downs intensely. I work with adults of all ages, especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community, folks across the gender spectrum, and folks who have experienced religious trauma or spiritual abuse.

There is power in uncovering and looking more closely at what may be causing stress or strain in our current life. Working through these concerns with another can increase personal growth and foster well-being and resilience.

I currently have openings within 1-2 weeks. Someone who would best fit my practice is motivated to create change in their life, even if they aren't sure how to do that yet. Someone who is seeking help with improving their mental health, working toward a personal or professional goal, coping with stressors of daily life, and/or wanting a space to be seen and heard would do well in my practice. I have experience working with a variety of goals including mental health, addiction, trauma, life transitions, chronic health conditions, as well as clients looking to explore spirituality, LGBTQ identities, gender and sexuality.
