Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

As a therapist, my primary goal is to create a warm and inviting space where you feel safe to explore your emotions at your own pace. I believe that healing happens best when it's guided by empathy, understanding, and a genuine connection. In our sessions together, I'll be there to listen without judgment, offering support and guidance as we navigate your journey towards personal growth and transformation. I understand that each individual's path to healing is unique, and I'm committed to meeting you where you are on that journey.

When working with clients, I use a collaborative approach. With this in mind, I want to make sure the relational aspect as well as interpersonal aspects of a person are an important part of the process. I work with adolescents, adults, families and couples struggling with interpersonal issues, relational discord, life transitions, familial conflict, body imaging struggles, trauma and other stressors that may arise. I have experience working with adults and adolescents in generational poverty, domestic violence survivors, teen pregnancy, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, sexual trauma and social justice concerns.

Too often we get caught up in worrying about things we cannot control, yet don't know where to start in making a change in the right direction. Perhaps you're noticing more conflict in your relationships? Maybe you know what you'd like to be different in your life, but feel stuck or paralyzed in taking the first step? Or possibly, there are things you experienced growing up and you just can't seem to 'let it go.' As your therapist, I will take the time to get to know and understand your experiences, areas of stuckness, and overwhelm, as we work together to create meaningful changes.

Lasting change is possible through a therapeutic relationship that is safe, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and engenders openness and trust. Our work together also values your uniqueness and specific goals. The client-therapist relationship is a chance to try new ways of thinking and feeling, being heard, understood and knowing yourself in a profound, new way.

I've been at this for 5 years now, and I am always fascinated by the infinite variety of ways people can get themselves in and out of trouble. I work with adults to overcome roadblocks, better understand themselves, and otherwise self-actualize. My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, self-esteem, unwanted substance and behavioral patterns, lifespan growth, among others. I value empowerment highly in the therapeutic process and work well with motivated clients.

Beginning the process of self discovery can be overwhelming, making life changes can be equally challenging. My aim is to provide a safe space for you to cultivate greater self-understanding, compassion for yourself, and your ability to navigate life’s experiences. I am EMDR trained.

I understand that during our life journey, we can experience mental, emotional, and relational pain. Sometimes we know what is causing it but don’t necessarily know what to do about it. At other times we don’t actually know what is causing the pain and where it’s coming from, but we know we feel it. This is where therapy can be very helpful.

My style is to support you in connecting with and understanding your deepest agendas and to facilitate the expansion of your capacity to live authentically, with all the parts of yourself. Many people have an intuition of when it's time to make changes, but are uncertain about how to do this, or where to begin. I'll help you generate the right conditions for change by first working to thoroughly understand your inner landscape, and what it’s like to be you. I'll assist you in refining your own instruction manual, find a useful balance between self-acceptance and self-discipline, and live a life with more self-compassion.

I smile at the paradox that even though I'm a work in progress, with problems of my own, I can try to help others navigate the challenges they are facing. Each of us lives a unique and complex life, populated with our own ambitions, friends, routines, fears, and inherited craziness. Our lives create an epic story that continues invisibly around you with elaborate and meaningful experiences. At times we can feel stuck, unhappy, or even lost. Each time we consciously work with our pain, we are working towards a more nuanced understanding of ourselves - an understanding that is less binary and more inclusive of our humanity.

Is your inner critic the loudest voice in your head? Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions or stuck? Being human can be incredibly difficult. It can also be incredibly beautiful. Do you find yourself losing sight of the beautiful parts? I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and difficulty with their self-esteem to overcome these experiences and build a life that is more satisfying and in line with their values.

Are you looking for a way to feel better and to start taking steps toward the life you want to live? Perhaps you've been putting everyone else's needs above your own, or maybe you've been holding up everyone else while you're struggling to just hold onto yourself. If you've lost yourself along the way, I know how hard that can be, and you no longer need to suffer in silence. Whether you’re feeling stuck in depression, anxiety, overwhelm, emptiness, or loneliness, together we can start moving you toward relief from the pain you're experiencing and toward a life you feel excited to live.

Immediate openings available for new clients. Life can be challenging for all of us sometimes, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to offer a safe space for you and your story.

Together, we can explore your experiences, feelings, and thoughts and work toward developing a greater awareness of underlying patterns, needs, strengths, and dreams.

I am a Latina therapist with experience supporting others through self esteem concerns, life changes, grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma(s).

I work well with people who are willing to explore and unpack their thoughts and feelings from a depth perspective.

I have the honor of working with people experiencing a wide variety of concerns including: depression; anxiety; grief/loss; life transitions; chronic illness; postpartum depression; sexual abuse; relationship problems; low self-esteem; family of origin; stress and more. My relational approach is based on the belief that within the framework of a trusting relationship with a therapist, clients can explore patterns of behavior and emotions which may relate back to earlier relationships. Once a better understanding of the origins of these patterns is developed, people often find lasting freedom from their hold over their lives.

Therapy provides a safe space for exploring challenges, developing strengths, gaining coping skills and growing to a better understanding of ourselves. We can share and process our experiences, emotions, beliefs and thoughts without fear of judgment. Therapy is a team relationship, we work together. My goal is to be your teammate, cheerleader, sounding board, empathetic confidant, and guide. As the therapist, I am there with some humor, support, curiosity, compassion, and understanding. I want to empower you so you can regain confidence in your resilience. Be yourself, you matter! You are worthy to get your needs met.
