Accepting new relational clients (couples, families, ENM) only at this time-. If the sound of your morning alarm has ever filled you with dread, you've come to the right place. Reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating as hell, I get it. However, I'm a person who knows what it's like to be on both sides of the therapeutic relationship.

Hello! When working with clients, my first priority is to ensure that they feel safe and comfortable while exploring the wide range of experiences and challenges that accompany life. My hope is to be a companion who provides support, validation, and perspective while remaining led by you! I work with all kinds of presenting issues and truly enjoy building each individual's story and insight about themselves. I believe that our pasts impact how we show up in the world and that learning about ourselves in this way leads to relief and positive change.

Welcome. My hope is that through your experience in therapy, whether this is your first time or you've been in therapy before, you find a fresh and open place for healing in your life. My approach begins by building an honest relationship with you that enables us to process your story. Whatever is uncovered along the way: grief, joy, disappointment, confusion, anger, freedom, trauma, loss, strength, creativity, humor... the mosaic will be uniquely yours.

I am only accepting relational clients. I believe it is so important to be curious, compassionate, and present. When you find yourself looking for assistance, you know what that better future would look like, and in collaboration we can work on exploring how to get there. You are the expert of your life, and my duty is to provide a safe space to explore. Sometimes it can be harder to explore and be present in an oppressive social system like the one we are surrounded in, especially for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. I have experience working with non-monogamy, relational conflict, communication improvement, and family systems.

I enjoy supporting families facing parenting challenges, as well as the unique gifts and experiences of parenting children with special needs. I also enjoy working with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with life transitions, managing relationships, school concerns, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, I have significant experience working with individuals in the adoption triad, as well as those considering or in the midst of the adoption process, and following placement transition. It is common for families to experience increased stress, grief, and challenges related to trauma and attachment.

Being here proves that you can do hard things. It’s not always easy to take the next step and eat your mental health vegetables, or however you personally want to frame the idea of therapy in your mind. As a clinician, I strive to make my clients feel seen and heard no matter the reason they are seeking therapy. I enjoy working with clients from age 13 through adults of any age on a wide variety of topics including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, grief, LGBTQIA+, and chronic health concerns/disabilities. Client-centered practice is very important to me. I love working with folks on building and practicing coping skills.

Taking therapy outside into nature allows access to powerful resources to help you address your goals, increase emotional and physical well-being and promote healing and resilience. In this practice my colleagues and I meet outside year-round in the South Minneapolis area, walking along the creek or river, sitting under a favorite pine tree or on a bench by the lake, with the option of telehealth when the weather is unsafe or just too cold. My style is supportive, warm, playful and experiential. We can address attachment difficulties, emotional and behavioral regulation, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

Sometimes life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, making it seem as if we have little control over the path our lives are taking. Trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and other life challenges can make ordinary life difficult to navigate. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment that allows my clients to gain mastery over their situation rather than allowing their circumstances to run their lives. My therapeutic approach is culturally sensitive, collaborative, unique to each client, and focuses on client strengths.

Seeking support during life’s changes and challenges takes great courage. Therapy not only helps us navigate these times but also promotes personal growth and well-being along the way. I utilize a person-centered, trauma-informed approach with both adolescents and adults, promoting a safe and inclusive environment. Together, we can address current stressors, gain insight into how early life experiences and present behaviors impact you, as well as cultivate autonomy. I am passionate about guiding you towards living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Hi, I’m Heidi! I understand that healing is not linear. Sometimes emotions rise over items that you once considered healed, and I’m here to help to move through them at your speed and help you to honor your journey. How you heal is deeply personal, and I’m looking forward to exploring this with you. You are your best healer; I’m here to guide and support you. In my personal time, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, spending time with my animals, and exploring all that life has to offer.

Life is constantly moving, changing, and evolving. Sometimes it feels like too much to take on alone. In a fast-paced world with many truths, I enable individuals to fully understand themselves in a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free environment. I know what it feels like to be scared to take the first step; to go through the hard work in order to grow. Because of that, it makes me the therapist I am today. Empathetic, understanding, and compassionate. These qualities are what I bring into our sessions in order to support you in becoming the best version of yourself.

I am a Certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner and have found it to be an incredible tool for increasing healing with life’s big and small difficulties.

Are you scrolling, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or having difficulty moving forward? Are your own life experiences, combined with the current state of the world, making it difficult to experience joy and find meaning? Perhaps panic has come up, making it difficult to focus. Despite these feelings, maybe you have a stubborn belief that life can be more vibrant. There is an openness to doing inner work in order to live a more authentic life that is more connected with others.

Often what brings us to therapy is a yearning for something wanted but not known. I encourage you to trust this desire, and take the brave step of reaching out for help. Together, we will work to explore your past and your present with curiosity and self-compassion.
