Therapists in Minnesota

I specialize in assisting individuals who have anxiety, depression, and trauma using EMDR and IFS modalities, as these are the primary modalities I use in my practice. However, I personalize my approach to meet each client's specific needs and utilize tools from CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness therapy.

I believe the problems we experience in living are woven into the fabric of our lives and rooted in enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others. These problems develop in relationship to others over the course of our lives. And it is in relationship—a relationship in which the attentive presence of another is truly and deeply felt—that these problems can be healed. In an atmosphere of curiosity and acceptance, we will work together to deepen your awareness and understanding of your needs, desires, and patterns of relating so you may experience greater freedom and fulfillment in your life.

Helping people who feel stuck get unstuck is my passion. Finding balance and addressing feeling disconnected or overwhelmed. Offering enthusiastic support and new perspectives on the underlying reasons a person or couple is struggling and then how to make real change. We will build awareness and incorporate new skills to address whatever feels hard right now. And working towards being more content. Often, this includes helping people learn how to better identify and communicate their needs and hopes and desires.

Come as you are, but don’t stay that way. Life is hard, challenging, and overwhelming. I offer a safe, caring, and warm environment where you are free to be your most vulnerable, authentic self.

I have a passion for helping build stronger connections in your relationships, including the relationship you have with yourself. I believe that change and growth happen through those trusting relationships.

I welcome clients from all spheres of life & lived realities. I am currently accepting clients for individual, couples (including poly/non-monogamy), & group therapy. Most of my professional experience has been with communities that are underrepresented, under supported, economically limited, identify as BIPOC, neurodivergent, and/or LGBTQIA+. As a gay nonbinary person, I am especially passionate about working with folks from the queer community.

My goal is to create a space for us to work in therapy that nurtures vulnerability, curiosity, and compassion. I believe meaningful relationships are what helps us heal, so I focus on helping you develop more secure patterns of relating - to yourself and to your loved ones - so you can experience deeper connection and understanding.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of everyday life? Would you like to get beyond your past and/or resolve current struggles?

My therapeutic style is to hold space for a collaborative conversation, and approach each session with curiosity.

Licensed for 17 years, serving clients via teletherapy in the Mpls/St Paul metro and surrounding areas (including Hennepin, Carver, Scott counties), as well as outstate Minnesota, my focus in therapy is to: 1) assist individuals and couples to clearly identify the root causes of the challenges and difficulties they are facing; 2) work together to identify real-world solutions which they feel will best address and resolve their unique life situations. I do not use a one-size-fits-all, or cookie-cutter approach.

I once read a story about a sea lion that somehow ended up in a barren desert. It was dry and parched and the closest thing resembling the sea was a mud puddle. He was sad and lost and knew he didn't belong, but he had been there so long and knew of nothing else, so he considered it "home". Too often, we find ourselves like this sea lion, living an unfulfilling existence, or in surroundings that aren't consistent with who we are. We passively accept our lot in life or sabotage efforts to live with passion and joy.

Welcome to Through the Woods Counseling! I am a feminist therapist licensed in the state of Minnesota to treat co-occurring disorders - that’s just a way of saying I’m trained in working with folks that struggle with more than one issue at a time. Think things like anxiety and alcohol abuse, trauma and depression, stress management and ADHD, and so on… I believe mental health diagnoses can be helpful in giving us a starting point for evidence based ways to improve our mental wellness, but they are also labels rooted in and created by classically oppressive systems, so diagnosis is not a primary focus of sessions.

Are you or a loved one suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma? Are you tired of your mental health interfering with your daily life? Are you ready to make a change? Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) may be the answer you've been searching for. ART is a highly effective form of therapy that can help individuals process difficult memories and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

Deciding to change takes courage. Starting therapy takes courage. Many only call a therapist when they have tried everything they know to do. Others are tired of reaching the same crossroads time and again - whether in our personal lives (with issues such as anxiety, depression, fear), in our relationships (communication, intimacy, etc.), or a past experience that keeps one from living the full life once imagined. Whatever brings you to therapy, Conscious Healing Counseling is happy to discuss the many options available to you and how we can be most helpful.

I believe sustained joy is possible even in the deepest trenches of human pain and circumstance. I've supported clients who have experienced traumatic events, have been excessively reliant on someone emotionally or physically, feelings of anxiety or depressed, substance use concerns, and relationship or martial guidance.

The therapeutic process can be challenging and at times uncomfortable, but I will walk this journey with you, asking the hard questions, listening intently, and exploring perspectives. I hope that you will contact me when you are ready to venture into this wonderful new place.
