Authenticity serves as a catalyst for personal and communal growth. I firmly believe in the transformative power of genuine connections, where trust and respect flourish. Within such relationships, individuals find fertile ground for self-discovery and development beyond their expectations. I am committed to embracing my true self, and I extends this ethos into my therapeutic practice, infusing it with warmth, respect, guidance, humor, and unfiltered honesty.

Being raised by a narcissist may have led you to hide your true self in favor of acting like the version of you they wanted. As you’ve grown older maybe you’ve been tickled by the feeling that your parents' love for you was - or still is - conditional; you had to “earn it” by behaving a certain way. Perhaps it's time to live as your true self again and leave behind those masks you've felt forced to build. You deserve a life where you can be genuine with others, enjoy deep connections, and seek your own purpose.

Immediate openings available! I specialize in working with adults who seek to understand, process, and heal from childhood trauma. Trauma experienced in childhood can have lasting effects on self-perception, relationships, and feelings of safety. As children, we absorb messages without the ability to discern their truth, leading to harmful beliefs about ourselves, such as feeling worthless, like something is wrong with you, or feeling guilty and deserving of mistreatment. These messages can profoundly impact our adult lives, often affecting how we relate to ourselves, our family members, our jobs, and others in our lives.

I work with LGBTQ+ and polyamorous folks. I recognize that many of us have experienced relationship challenges, trauma, and discrimination, and that our identities are a critical component of how we heal and grow. Finding a sense of who you are is never an easy process, but receiving invalidating messaging from the world while holding past and present wounds makes it even more difficult. The stories we tell about ourselves, inside and outside the context of personal identities, have power over how we understand our emotions, relationships, and experiences. What might it be like to tell your story in a new way?

Many people face issues with mental health, identity, work, and relationships. Men, however, often encounter unique societal pressures that can lead to unhealthy negative consequences such as emotional suppression and mental health problems. Men from diverse backgrounds (race/ethnicity, sexuality, gender) may struggle to seek help or express themselves emotionally with loved ones. Men are seeking guidance and support to understand their emotions and navigate problems related to work, mental health, identity and relationships. Reaching out is the hardest first step, but you're already here! Looking forward to meeting you!

I have practiced for 39 years in Minnesota, seeing children, adults, couples and families. My practice currently is primarily with adults and couples (and adult teens) who are seeking a therapist who is collaborative, offers guidance and new perspectives, and believes the client is ultimately in charge of change. I value awareness, mindfulness and the process of living out a personal story that is based on strengths and hopefulness. Above all, I believe that if people feel respected and cared for they are capable of growth and moving through even the most difficult times.

My experience as a therapist for over two decades has shown me that we have been programed through the hormones of stress and traumas to repeat the same thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Without changing and deprogramming from the inside out our lives and our relationships become dysfunctional and problematic. If you ever asked yourself if you may be narcissistic or someone might suggest that you are it's possible that your thoughts and behaviors become harmful to yourself and others. If you've ever thought that depression and anxiety have taken a real life than you have been programmed through the hormones of stress.

I offer ADHD and Autism Spectrum neuropsychological testing for children, teens and adults between the ages of 7 and 70. I have extensive training and experience in mental health assessment, including a year at the University of Minnesota Discovery Clinic, the UMN child/adolescent neuroscience center during my doctoral studies. I completed my doctoral Internship at Fraser where I also specialized in assessment. Testing is not just about the process of testing, but the quality of feedback and recommendations that can be made based on feedback. I am happy to offer detailed testing results to my clients and their families.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
