Female Therapists in Edina, MN

Each stage of our lives brings its own challenges. And if our lives so far haven’t been particularly rosy… experiences from our pasts can make our emotions overwhelming and unpredictable, and we can feel out of control. They can keep us from forming close and healthy relationships, leaving us isolated and alone. I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults who have experienced adversity in their lives. I provide treatment for traumas and stressors that we sometimes experience growing up including household dysfunction, emotional and physical neglect, abuse, and generational trauma.

My goal is to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment to explore your concerns and feel understood. You will find that I am genuine, encouraging and motivated to help by providing support and validation, psychoeducation and skills. I have over 17 years of experience helping adults with anxiety and panic attacks, mood disorders, life transitions (graduation, moves, new career, breakups, pregnancy, parenthood), trauma, grief and loss, stress management, and low self-esteem. My role as a therapist is to help you better understand your needs and strengths and develop goals and strategies to live a fulfilling life.

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re considering therapy, a brave first step in itself. I enjoy working with adult and emerging adult populations, and I have a particular affinity for working with emerging adults and college/grad students. I believe that a large part of healing happens in relationship with others, and I’m here to build a collaborative partnership with you where together we can create a path towards a more fulfilling life. I use a person-centered, interpersonal, and psychodynamic approach to therapy, while remaining adaptive to the unique needs of each client. I look forward to hearing what brings you here.

When you feel overwhelmed by current conflicts, bound up in a difficult life transition or broken by trauma - then it is time to seek a guide who will hold a safe space, help repair ruptures, see patterns within patterns, and free you to redesign your interior spaces. In therapy we will pull together the threads of your being and weave them into a unique expression, supporting a sense of inner harmony and vitality. All aspects of you, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual, are gathered in to this process as we create healing pathways and animate your core strengths.

As a therapist I work hard to understand my patients at a personal level. I provide a warm and trusting atmosphere where we can explore the difficulties in their lives. Together, through the therapeutic relationship we work on emotional problems to make deep and lasting changes. We address road blocks which may have developed over the years and seem to keep them stuck in negative patterns. Through an increased awareness of these patterns alternative choices can be made by my patients. Working together in therapy my patients are increasingly able to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that hurt? Do you have a vague memory of when things were easier and life was more satisfying? Life, with it's expected and unexpected transitions can be challenging for all of us, even agonizing at times. We all need help from others on occasion...I am a strength based therapist who believes that by design you have everything you need to navigate through these times and I want to help you in recapturing something more promising. I'm ready when you are.

At some point in our lives, many of us look around and realize we no longer like the life we've built - or maybe even who we've become while living it. We may even feel we should like it, but somehow it no longer fits. I build relationships with clients, creating a safe place to explore and express these feelings. Therapy creates change by examining the experiences and beliefs that contribute to feeling stuck and make it harder to hear our own, often elusive, inner knowing. I love working with clients to address the issues holding them back so they can create a life and self that excites them again.
