Infertility Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Trauma, chronic illness(es), and eating disorders are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where everyone can explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain self-confidence. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.

My approach is gentle and eclectic, person-centered and collaborative. You are the expert of yourself and sometimes it's helpful to have someone to listen to understand. I like to provide validation, exploration, and support. First timers to therapy and those taking the leap to try out therapy again seem to appreciate my style. Whether you are rediscovering yourself, going through a stressful time, wanting to process trauma, etc., I'll be here alongside you. I consider the family system, childhood/caregiver attachment, parenting styles, generational trauma, systemic racism, larger society, etc. and all these impacts.

We can often find ourselves struggling to feel understood by each other. I meet with adult individuals or couples seeking help and encouragement as they navigate their relationships. Issues around communicating needs, conflict in their partnership, parenting, intercultural relationships, dynamics within family of origin or in-laws, work/life balance and couples that identify as LGBTQIA+ are all areas I'm familiar working with. I invite clients to create and practice new tools to better understand one another and emerge out bickering and into a collaboration.

Looking for someone to coach and encourage you through a hard time or a life change? Even when life feels overwhelming and busy, it's important that you take care of yourself. I will help you regain control, build trust in yourself, and support you make changes that you want. Through an open, authentic, and direct relationship, I will help you make changes that make your life not just good, but better! I will encourage you to explore what you want and help you achieve those goals. I also offer tele-health sessions so you don't need to leave the comfort of your home or office!

People who see me for individual therapy are usually facing turmoil either due to current stressors or past issues that keep surfacing and prevent them from moving forward in their lives. Often, people tell me that they feel "stuck" and need direction/guidance. By working with me they identify their inner strengths and capabilities; they feel confident in themselves to take on challenges that come their way. In therapy we identify things that should change because what clients are doing currently is not helping. I problem solve and discuss ways to make their present meaningful. My strength based approach resonates with clients.

Some people enter therapy with a specific problem they want to solve. Others are interested in achieving a broader goal such as psychological growth and understanding. I am happy to help you define and work towards a goal which best meets your needs. My specialties include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and communication problems (eg. assertiveness, , intimacy issues, anger management) and self-esteem issues. In my work I draw from my training in cognitive-behavior therapy, family systems approaches, Ericksonian hypnosis, Buddhist psychology and mindfulness meditation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Life can be challenging and stressful. Often our busy life prevents us from caring for ourselves. Psychotherapy is a space to address your needs and concerns and build self-harmony. In a safe and trusting relationship, we will identify strengths and unearth resiliency while working on your struggles. In therapy, I tailor my therapeutic approach to your needs and pay attention to your context (environment, spirituality, culture, and multiple identities).

You're struggling more than you'd like to admit. You're unsure of who you are and question what you want. Often times you're overwhelmed, tired, and feel defeated. Juggling school/work, relationships, family, and parenthood are taking a toll on you and something has to give. You want to build your self-esteem, set boundaries in relationships, and feel secure in your relationship with yourself and others. My approach is compassionate, practical, and emotion-focused. I value the collaborative process and will create a soft landing for you to be supported and empowered to make important decisions about your life.

Ever feel stuck in life due to unforeseen circumstances and are unsure about how to move forward? I imagine that you are struggling with developing healthy lifestyle habits, or positive coping strategies and may be experiencing persistent depression or anxiety. Perhaps your depression and anxiety stem from a major life change, traumatic experiences, conflict in relationships, financial hardships, chronic or terminal illness, or the loss of a loved one. If any of those things are true for you, then I can help you become unstuck and live your most fulfilling life. You deserve to move forward and begin your healing journey.

Welcome! Being human is a beautiful and vulnerable experience that doesn't always have directions or clear answers. You may be here because you feel struck in patterns that are holding you back or feel overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed in your daily life. You may be seeking help because you feel stuck in your relationship(s) or want to feel more free in your sexuality or sexual identity and are unsure how to proceed. And if you are a highly sensitive and/or nuero-diverse person, the world can feel complicated! If you are longing to live authentically and experience meaningful relationships, you've come to the right place!

It's not easy to form genuine connections these days. It's especially challenging if you are from a marginalized community. My passion is working with teens and young adults who are experiencing challenges with work/school stress, friendships, or life transitions. As a queer counselor, I also enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Clients that work with me develop strong coping skills, gain self-acceptance, and are able to grow their social support system.

Are you feeling stuck in some area of your life? Do you need help understanding why certain things keep happening? Are you struggling in relationships, feeling depressed or uncertain about your future? If you agreed with any of these questions, therapy can help guide you to the answers you need to move forward in life. My role as a therapist is to support your personal journey of self discovery and healing. I view the therapeutic process as collaborative, respectful and empowering and use a strengths based perspective to help clients make sense of personal challenges.

My commitment is to help you make positive life changes. There are times when we are faced with obstacles and difficulties that interfere with growth and development, preventing us from achieving goals and aspirations, and diminishing our happiness and wellbeing. Psychotherapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental setting to discover solutions to challenges. With the powerful tools of communication and insight, I will help you identify counterproductive patterns and habits preventing you from living an optimal life. Together we will recognize and build upon your strengths and skills, develop new resources and strategies, and discover beneficial, healing ways of approaching your life.

It takes strength and courage to seek counseling, and I am so happy you found me. Whether or not you decide to contact me, you have already taken a step toward a healthier you. People come to counseling because of their problems - they are not defined by their problems. People I work with are committed to their lives and relationships. As a therapist, my job is to provide a safe and non judgmental space while bringing curiosity and respect for your knowledge and experiences.
