Therapists in Minnesota

The process of finding a therapist can feel overwhelming! If you’re reading this, you have officially taken the first step in finding a therapist that is right for you. Im proud of you! The clients that I work with are ready to show up to continue their pursuit towards awareness and change through therapy. Together, we will explore the narratives that have been helpful as well the narratives that are not serving you anymore. I provide an approach that is flexible and adaptable. I recognize that you may need to be challenged and validated all in one session.

Hello! Welcome! Are you looking for help and support to make changes in your life, work through life transitions, grief, identity, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, emotional pain, abuse, sexuality, growth and development, or spirituality? Would you like to gain awareness of old, stuck patterns and break through to discover a new version of yourself?

I work with adult and adolescent clients who are experiencing difficulty in managing anxiety, anger, trauma, depression and relationship-based concerns. I invite you to consider the idea that you are the author and director of your thoughts and emotional responses. Put differently, you have within you the power to rewrite the "script" on how you see yourself and the role that you play in your life, regardless of what you may have experienced in your past. In our shared journey, I hope to help you feel more empowered as an active agent of change in responding to suffering, depression, anxiety and trauma.

Deciding to make changes in your life can often be overwhelming. Uncertainty and self-doubt can make a path forward seem impossible. Through our work together, I can assist you in identifying the changes you would like to enact in your own life and help establish how to get there. If you find yourself feeling stuck in emotional pain or problems, therapy can be a catalyst for change you seek. Learning how to manage stress more effectively gives us access to new opportunities.

As a therapist, I am committed to being a source of unconditional positive regard, asking hard and important questions, offering observations to identify connections in experiences, exploring and challenging negative self-beliefs, offering tools and skills in the capacity desired, and celebrating the ups and the downs of the process.
