Marriage Counseling Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Hello and welcome! I consider you the expert on your life, and I see my job as witnessing and responding creatively to the challenges you experience with effective interventions in a safe, shame-free space where you can feel heard and understood. I believe that people are inherently good, capable, and resilient. I privilege the experiences and inner wisdom of my clients to help them resolve problems and improve their relationships. I am also a board approved supervisor with the BMFT and the BBHT with ten years' experience in the field of marriage and family therapy.

I am a visually impaired Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am trained and certified in Early Childhood Mental Health and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I believe that we are all created for relationships and the current world we live in fosters isolation and individuality. I seek to provide children, families, and adults effective mental health care that teaches them how to heal and recreate healthy relationships.

Do you feel you have a lot of conflict within your relationship? Are you healing from an affair, divorce, or loss of a loved one? Does your mental health inhibit your daily functioning? Have you found yourself committing self-sabotaging behavior? These are problems I can help with. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe environment where individuals and couples can process their emotions, and feel heard, accepted, and respected. My goal is to build a strong relationship with each client through warmth, empathy, and authenticity. I want to meet you where you are and help bring progress and connection to couples and families.

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.

Considering therapy is courageous! I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and validating space for couples, individuals, and families to gain clarity about unhelpful patterns, get support as they work through emotions that are tough to feel and even tougher to share. I hope to help clients build a solid emotional intelligence tool kit to respond more intuitively to themselves and more effectively to the people around them. I believe that in the face of life’s challenges, people are capable of change and of living their best lives. My hope is that you will be empowered to believe that, too.

You're not crazy! Relationships are hard and they require hard work. They can also be extremely rewarding and worth all the work. Therapy is quite similar. Do you need help to bring the spark back into your marriage? Heal your relationship after an affair? Work through painful or traumatic memories? Help coping with life cycle transitions? Develop better communication? As your therapist I will support you in achieving these goals by encouraging and respectfully challenging you in order to create the change you are seeking through therapy.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing issues related to sex, traditional gender roles, desire, grief, and self image to support you in building the life you want. Couples/partners may struggle with communication related to sex, desire discrepancy, or unhelpful relationship dynamics. Individuals may wish to explore their sexual identity, process grief and loss, unpack past traumas or family patterns that cause distress in present relationships, create new expressions of masculinity or femininity, or learn how to prioritize pleasure.

Your attitudes and actions are the foundation of every facet of your life. Understanding who you are is critical to becoming your best self, connecting with others, and living your best life. Awakening Connections Therapy provides a place for you to explore positive, growth-directed choices. I can help you awaken, restore, and strengthen connections in your relationships to help you become your most authentic self,

I have practiced for 39 years in Minnesota, seeing children, adults, couples and families. My practice currently is primarily with adults and couples (and adult teens) who are seeking a therapist who is collaborative, offers guidance and new perspectives, and believes the client is ultimately in charge of change. I value awareness, mindfulness and the process of living out a personal story that is based on strengths and hopefulness. Above all, I believe that if people feel respected and cared for they are capable of growth and moving through even the most difficult times.

While I am a licensed psychologist, my training has centered around systems thinking and relationship issues, more specifically marriage and family therapy. As well, I have pursued the study of Jungian ideas (focus on individual strengths) so that when I am dealing with relationship issues including relationship with self, I have an inner as well as outer perspective. I have taught various courses in family therapy at two universities since the early 1980's which has solidified my own method of helping clients.

You may be in a difficult place right now, struggling in a relationship with your partner or another family member, or wrestling with personal challenges. You are taking a step forward by finding a therapist who can help you navigate through it. I create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where, together, we can explore your challenges and hopes and collaborate to work through them. My style is warm, compassionate, curious and direct. I am invested in your healing. Ofrezco mis services en español.

Are you experiencing difficulty with personal or work life issues or relationships? Are you unsure about how to bring up issues at home or work to have a constructive discussion? Do you avoid issues hoping that they'll get better or go away? Do you repress your feelings about the "little" things then lose your "cool"? I develop trusting relationships with clients while working on these issues and others. I view the client and myself as a team focused on gaining insight and skills so the client can cope with present day issues and enhance relationships.

"I am not crazy," is the first thing many hear when thinking of mental health. Mental health is less about being crazy and more about over all well-being. Research shows that expressing ourselves can lead to positive change and better understanding of ourselves. During our journey together, I respect my clients by bringing in a culturally informed and non-judgmental lens, utilizing personal, religious/spiritual, and/or cultural strengths approach to healing. Together we will work on listening to our bodies and minds, integrating both in ways that bring positivity and restoration to ourselves and our relationships.
