Divorce Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

I've had the honor of journeying with hundreds of people over the last 35 years who are facing difficult life transitions. I value people's strengths, experience, knowledge and dreams in THEIR counseling, and I believe deeply that we all can change in profound ways.

I focus on helping you build and maintain healthy relationships: personal, professional, romantic and sexual relationships. This includes individual counseling, couples counseling, and sex therapy. In individual counseling we can talk through trauma, negative thoughts, adjustments, questions of identity, happiness, or life goals. If you are having questions about intimacy, desire, shame, kink, sexual performance or desire, sex therapy may be right for you. You may be feeling a loss of connection, a wall of miscommunication and a mountain of unmet needs within your relationship and I will help you find that connection and joy.

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly". The therapeutic relationship is a partnership between two people who endeavor to co-create change. I have helped clients examine a wide range of issues (relational conflict, workplace difficulties, eating disorders, body image distress, addictions, trauma, spirituality, gender identity, aging, grief and loss, and sexual orientation). We will work together to alleviate your most pressing problems as well as develop a fuller understanding of the underlying issues that keep you stuck in emotional patterns that limit your capacity to enjoy the quality of life you desire.

We all feel tangled up sometimes, out of connection with our inner sense of ourselves. Maybe there’s been trouble in your family or intimate relationships recently. Maybe you’re grappling with overwhelming concerns of identity, neurotype, relationship style, or sexuality. Or maybe a big change or resurging past event has put you off balance. Therapy offers a connecting space where we will tenderly and patiently be with those complicated feelings, helping you cultivate deeper awareness of your past and present, gather up tools to navigate the turbulent times, and practice new ways of being with yourself and your loved ones.

It’s difficult enough to figure out what you want. But saying it out loud to a partner? That can be even scarier. What if we don’t want the same things? Or, worse still, what if I hurt them? Does any of this sound familiar? Many people live in silence to avoid the pain of hurting another. But at some point that backs up on you. Therapy is your place to give voice to those feelings and decide what, if anything, you want to do with them..

Self-exploration with a compassionate, curiously-engaged presence is a powerful experience which results in deep, lasting change. Often times, our experience of the world and ourselves can feel vaguely yet urgently unsatisfying. Sometimes we unconsciously live in a reality which no longer feels like it "fits", but we know therapy is about opening up to see yourself and the world in a new, more boundless way. Confusion is a great step towards new growth, and we can work together to help you experience life more fully. (For efficient scheduling purposes, please email rather than call)

There is no "one size fits all" in effective therapy. While we may be all facing some common stressors, each person, couple, or family is different and I adapt accordingly to help foster growth and wellness that fits your life. I am committed to creating a genuine and supportive environment to explore your goals, feelings, and stuck points by integrating a variety of evidence-based modalities. Together we will alleviate stress and interpersonal strain, build balance, and promote long-term wellness.

Through the process of psychotherapy, I work together with my clients to help them: develop a better understanding of their histories, triggers and patterns in order to get unstuck and create new endings to old stories; build coping skills and capacity for resiliency in order to face stressors and fears that are blocking growth; learn to live authentically in order to create a life congruent with what matters to them. I feel passionate about my work. I always hope to help people realize their worth and competency so they can feel empowered to take charge of their lives and live with more purpose and fulfillment.

I believe strongly in the power of human resilience and believe our relationships are a key factor in this. As a marriage and family therapist, I enjoy working with adults, couples and families. I have experience working in a treatment setting for chemical dependency and complex trauma, where I gained experience in using somatic approaches such as Brainspotting and inner child work to help individuals overcome childhood wounds to be more present and functional in their current lives and relationships. I am also an AAMFT approved supervisor and with current openings for individual, dyad or group supervision.

As individuals, we all bring with us a multitude of unique experiences. These experiences, along with our relationships, deeply impact our perspectives and modes of operating in the world. Sometimes, this creates a strong foundation for us to grow from while, at other times, we may need some help in navigating all of the twists and turns that life brings our way. In therapy, I seek to provide a warm, caring space where positive change and growth can occur.

Life brings challenges for us all! I offer a person-centered therapeutic experience that is deliberate, supportive, and empowers you to grow and change in intentional and meaningful ways. Change happens when we become aware of and act upon patterns in our lives that limit us. I will support you in pursuing satisfying relationships, work, and overcoming obstacles and difficulties. We will work through grief, loss, inner conflicts, life challenges and difficulty in relationships. Changing our lives takes courage and unfolds in the context of a nourishing and accepting environment where one can explore new possibilities for their life.

I am passionate about navigating and exploring identity, values, and relationship dynamics in a space where clients can be their unfiltered, unique selves outside of societal norms or expectations. My therapy practice incorporates humor and adapts to the needs of my clients, ranging from "saying it like it is" to nurturing and supporting you.

I help people remember how awesome they truly are. Prior to entering private practice, I spent three years at a leading treatment center where I worked with a variety of people in a variety of unique circumstances. I am passionate about working with clients to improve their sense of self-compassion, and well-being, and transcend maladapted beliefs. My practice and work is inspired by the work of Gabor Mate, Richard Schwartz, and Buddhist Psychology. I am a Master's level pre-mental health licensure professional with experience working with individuals with co-occurring disorders.

I believe it takes courage to begin the process of change. With that spirit, I try to embody the African Proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” I believe we can all heal, change and grow, particularly when we have support and love in the process. I feel deeply honored to walk arm in arm in therapy with the clients I see. In both my therapeutic work and personally, I value humor, compassion, and sincerity. The therapist you choose is someone whom you’ve entrusted to build a safe and healing relationship.

Do you ever wonder why some days are better than others? Are you feeling unbalanced, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to? Although this is a common experience for most people, you may notice that the harder days are starting to increase or your feelings are beginning to get in the way of life. If so it may be beneficial to talk to someone. Whether you are trying to get back to life after the pandemic, experiencing anxiety, feeling out of balance, or are having relationship issues. I am here to help.

As an AASECT-certified sex therapist, I work with individuals and couples facing challenges regarding differences in sex drive, sexual pain & dysfunctions such as ED and vaginismus, issues with orgasm, and other issues related to intimacy and performance. While anxiety is not always the cause of these challenges, anxiety is certainly part and parcel of how they manifest. Therapy is geared towards optimizing mental and physical health, managing anxiety through lifestyle changes, improving communication with loved ones, and reaching for better quality of life, which frequently includes: better sex!

As a Marriage and Family Intern, I do not have an "ideal" client at this time.
