My clients are working to become self-love warriors, truth-seekers, and aliveness-pursuers! If that sounds like your journey also, I can help. Maybe you can recall a past when you felt more alive, connected, grounded, lovable, and your needs were getting met. Maybe now your challenge is figuring out how to get back to that place. Or maybe you've never felt this way and you desperately want to learn how. Either way, I can help you!

I specialize in working with the LGBT+ community, people who identify as neurodivergent, those with trauma and relationship issues (queer, ENM, Kink etc. I don't work with CIS, straight couples). I have a passion for supporting trans identifying clients as they advocate for their needs within the medical system, supporting clients navigating open relationships, and supporting parents who are navigating the needs of their neurodivergent children. I practice from a sex positive, health at every size, harm reduction lens. I ask my clients to show up as their authentic self and my clients can expect the same from me.

Entering into (or even the thought of entering into) a therapeutic process takes a lot of ambition and courage. The therapy process is not an easy one, but it can be a highly successful and rewarding one when it lessens your suffering, reduces troubling symptoms, and increases your ability to cope with the stressors of life. These are all outcomes that are best achieved within a nurturing and supportive relationship with a helping professional. It would be my honor to support you in your quest towards health.

Accepting residents of MN. Do you often feel misunderstood, scared, stuck, unheard, or like you don't matter? Sometimes life experiences have us feeling like we are constantly struggling or fighting to survive. Maybe you feel like it's difficult to connect with others or even find it difficult to love yourself. This can leave you feeling lonely and unsure of the future, possibly even unsure if you can trust anyone to understand your struggles. I have interest in helping those who struggle with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, and psychological trauma.

I am very passionate about working with teens and young adults, as well as parents. When working with teens and young adults, I use an eclectic approach, and often work with client’s to meet their needs- no one fits in a box, and no one approach helps everyone! This period of life often includes difficult transitions and personal growth, which is perfect for getting the extra support you might need through therapy. I prioritize creating a space where clients feel empowered to process at their own pace. I encourage open feedback, understanding that the therapeutic relationship is collaborative and dynamic.

I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing distress and concerns regarding anxiety, self-esteem, focus, obsessions and compulsions, interpersonal relationships, and depression. I recognize that every perspective holds a strength built from each day experienced, and I value utilizing the unique values in every individual to tailor an experience of comfort, motivation, and positive growth.

Navigating the modern world's stresses can be overwhelming. It's common to seek escape from difficult emotions and thoughts and to disconnect from oneself. My aim is to help clients feel their emotions, allow them to pass, and liberate their minds from destructive thinking patterns. In my sessions with clients, I pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other trauma-informed modalities.

One of the most important relationships you can work on is the relationship you have with yourself. Can you envision a life where you give yourself more grace, are more fulfilled in your relationships, and that aligns more closely with your deepest values? Are you ready to recognize and overcome the thoughts, patterns, and relationships that no longer serve you? I enjoy helping clients navigate the complexities of work, life, and relationship issues and deconstructing the barriers that are holding them back from achieving their deepest dreams and goals.
