Family Therapy in Minneapolis, MN
I provide individual therapy; I do not provide couples or family therapy.
Getting help from a therapist can be a difficult step -- finding someone you can relate to, who understands, and who provides help in a straightforward, positive way is so important. I am warm, nurturing, and direct. I strongly believe in the importance of our relationship: I help you to establish goals, and we work together toward achieving these goals. I provide practical advice and assistance in handling the issues of daily life, and with addressing and healing from the struggle and pain of the past.

Helping those experiencing personal, emotional, relationship, family, traumatic experiences or psychological struggles. Therapy is a journey of growth and self discovery. Let's embark on that life journey together. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. As you get ready to start this journey, I will be there to support and empower you. My counseling style is warm, patient, kind and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

I have presented locally and nationally on both childhood bereavement and patient/ family-centered care.
I enjoy working with individual adults and teens (15+) with a variety of mental health concerns. I have significant experience working with people coping with grief and loss. I recognize how unique grief is to each one of us, and I work to normalize and validate the diversity of one's grief experiences to promote hope and healing.

I work in English and Spanish and have experience with multicultural family systems.
Welcome! I'm currently accepting new clients that are motivated to grow and heal. I provide trauma informed therapy in a person-centered, collaborative and dynamic style. I see it as my role to help you pause and reflect, and challenge the schemas that may be keeping you stuck in undesired patterns of behavior. While therapy is serious work, it’s also important to laugh at the absurd moments and try to enjoy the journey as we walk it together. If you're struggling with relationships, feeling unheard or confused, reeling from a traumatic event or history, or experiencing a loss, we can work through these issues at your pace.

I have experience working with persons that have been involved with various agencies such as child protective services (CPS), family court and probation.
You deserve to live the life that you want, however, this may difficult sometimes. Feelings of depression, anxiety and PTSD may be the result of past trauma, hurt and other unforeseen circumstances. Because of those experiences, the thought of seeking assistance (therapy) scary and overwhelming. I know exactly how you might be feeling, the fear of being judged, shamed or misunderstood can be frightening.

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.

Welcome! I work with clients between ages 12-50, non-monogamous and polyamorous clients, and people experiencing major life transitions. That includes life events like reconsidering your relationship structure, navigating estrangement or reconnection, welcoming a new family member or saying goodbye, career shifts, and everything in between. It is important to me that you feel anchored in my presence, and that you can also trust me to give it to you straight. We are going to take it sloooow - pausing, reflecting, and being present with the big and small feelings that we unearth in the process.

Having navigated my own journey as an immigrant, I bring personal insight into the complexities of acculturation, family dynamics, and life transitions.
You may appear to be thriving in many areas of life—steady career, solid relationships, a family maybe, and a supportive circle of friends. But on the inside, things might feel different. Perhaps you find yourself feeling unfulfilled, stuck in recurring emotional struggles, or disconnected from the people and moments that matter most to you. Maybe you feel weighed down by comparisons, regrets, or the constant push to do more, leaving you unable to pause and appreciate your progress. No matter how hard you work or how much you give, there’s a sense that it’s still not enough.

These can affect our lives both within and outside of our family relationships because our family history often has much to do with how our lives are going now.
Are you having trouble in your close relationships? Tired of fighting about everything? Do you feel like your family life is completely out of control? My clients - families, couples and individuals alike - tell me that they appreciate my kindness, sense of humor and calm non-judgmental outlook. Our relationships are the foundation of well being and that is where I put my focus as a therapist. It can be tough to untangle things but you CAN rebuild relationship - it IS doable. I believe whole-heartedly that we do best when we are connected to one another in a healthy way.

As an openly polyamorous-queer-gender expansive person, I’ve spent most of my life experiencing microaggressions & unlearning the cisnormative & hetronormative messages that constantly tell us we are defective, broken, or unwanted. They are wrong! We are fabulous, vibrant & deserving, of all the gifts the world has to offer. I became a therapist to share what I’ve learned, bring healing, & advocate for queer/trans youth, young adults & their families while working for social justice & full inclusion into society. Our work will be in a safe, affirming space so we can collaborate to create & implement a road map to your recovery.
