I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma or mental illness that may have contributed to problematic substance use. I am passionate about working with individuals who want to grow and change their lives. I push back against the stigma society attaches to mental illness and substance use, championing the belief that we all do the best we can to survive and connect with others. At the same time, I recognize that the coping skills we develop are not always sustainable and can cause other problems in our lives.

If starting therapy with a new therapist feels a little bit daunting, that’s alright! Life and all its stressors can be difficult to manage sometimes, and having positive support can make a huge difference for our mental health. I believe that everyone deserves to have a safe space where they can openly share their story, regardless of their various identities, background, or personal experiences. Healing is not linear; healing can be slow, stressful, and confusing. Sometimes we aren't quite sure where to start. My intention is to meet you with empathy and nonjudgmental care.

Many of my clients identify as "people pleasers", and say they feel stuck in a difficult relationship with their family or partner. They may struggle setting boundaries and have a history of abandoning themselves in order to "keep the peace" with others. Some grew up in erratic or dysfunctional families where "walking on eggshells" was common and familiar. As adults, they have learned to tolerate dysfunction and may subconsciously select partners who are similarly invalidating, defensive, critical or otherwise difficult to please. As a result, these inner child wounds now show up in their adult relationships.

I work with clients who want to heal from PTSD using creativity to explore and tell their story in an empowered way using neuro-based art therapy in a cozy art studio or online. My clients usually have done some talk therapy or self discovery work in the part and are ready to dig deeper to heal and build wholeness and meaning. In art therapy sessions I give my clients opportunities to explore and find what art and crafting materials they like to work with. I will follow your lead on subject matter, as we tell your story in a new way, exploring what feels important to you at this time and discovering what needs re-working.

Are you struggling with life's challenges, Are you hopeless or overwhelmed? Do your relationships, work, or other obligations generate more Anxiety, Depression or stress than you can manage? Perhaps, you're turning to alcohol or other drugs to cope. Maybe you're ready to make changes but don't need the stress of one more person telling you what to do. With the guilt and shame our society places on people in all these situations, it can be uncomfortable seeking therapy. Let me guide you as you find your own answers and solutions, at a pace that works for you.

I work with clients who experience the following challenges: finding compassion for self and others, having difficulty maintaining healthy relationship, experiencing road blocks (Unprocessed Grief, suppressed anger and resentment, debilitating fear, addiction, betrayal, shame filled internal messages, anxiety and depression). Are these obstacles keeping you from experiencing serenity and inner peace, lack of engagement and connection?

I am a compassionate, humorous and enthusiastic therapist with my master’s degree in counseling psychology, licensed in Minnesota as a professional clinical counselor. It wasn’t until I discovered the healing power of the mind, body, and spirit approach that I saw lasting change and healing in myself and in my clients. I am client centered, radically non-judgmental, authentic, and honest. I believe in meeting each individual where they are and joining together on a path to growth. I am strongly influenced by Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which focuses on the link between our bodies and our psychological wellbeing.

Relationships require trust, communication, and profound awareness of each other’s worlds. I work with couples, including polyamorous, non-monogamous, kinky, etc, to build connection, trust, and intimacy in their relationships. I also help partners learn to manage relationship conflict more effectively. I help partners find ways to communicate about challenging and sensitive issues. This is important when partners struggle to connect around each other's unique sexual wants and needs. These conversations need an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and non-judgment, as partners learn to validate and respond to each other's sexual selves.

I provide a safe and secure environment where you can feel safe to share deeply personal thoughts and feelings. My psychodynamic process requires both courage and motivation to change. You will move from where you are to where you want to be. Initial concerns may be about self esteem, work or relationships but effective psychodynamic process identifies hidden patterns and themes that cloud the present and hinder the future. Patients describe the process as "empowering" and "life changing", leaving them with increased energy, confidence and creativity for their lives.

Having a space where you can feel comfortable sharing about what life has asked of you and what it is offering you can be powerful. Feeling seen, heard, and understood seems rare these days. Sitting alongside client’s as they navigate seasons of their lives, reflect on past versions of themselves, live within this season and bridge to their future is a blessing.

I enjoy building therapeutic relationships and promoting positive changes in people's lives. My clients often struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, relationship issues, sleep problems, self esteem and confidence. I am especially interested in working with gay identified men and people struggling with phobias or OCD, but love working with all sorts of folks and issues. Working collaboratively with clients, I try to help them find alternative ways of dealing with life's challenges. I believe therapy helps people become more authentic and well balanced version of themselves and not be controlled by anxiety or depression.

I'd be a good fit if you're motivated, curious, open, flexible in thought, committed to the therapy process, and willing to do hard work. I'll work hard, too. If your needs and goals are to feel calmer, have a more integrated sense of self, feel more secure and confident, to grow and expand your thought processes, to organize past life events, develop/increase spirituality, work towards independence, and promote holistic well-being through the use of evidenced-based techniques and theories, I'd be a good fit! I also love pets. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats. I have training and certification in pet loss and grief. I value all relationships.
