Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Life and change is hard and sometimes and it can lead us to our lowest point. I acknowledge that you are the expert in your life, and I am an expert in guiding you through your most vulnerable and painful moments while challenging you to expand your skills to assist you in creating the change you want to see in your life. Therapy helps you learn how your own mind works and create the change you are looking for in your life. Have you ever wondered " why am I like this" or " why do I react this way"? Then we should talk! Im here to support you in finding happiness and stability again.

Do you need help managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, toxic behavior, focus/cognitive function, emotions, goal setting, motivation, achievement, career, grief, trauma, self-identity, work-life balance, or finding calm and happiness? I provide encouragement and guidance toward joy and hope with a focus on mind, body, and spirit to achieve wellness. I collaborate with you, and help you focus on yourself, so you find solutions that work for you. You will learn how to enrich yourself with positivity and purpose, and learn how to empower yourself to live authentically in peace.

My practice is geared towards adults and couples struggling with depression, anxiety, family or relationship problems. I also work with issues surrounding parenthood and reclaiming identity and creating balance. I specialize in both brief solution-focused therapy as well as longer-term insight oriented therapy for those working through a wide variety of problems related to moods, relationships, physical, emotional & life circumstances. I work with couples of all kinds, including Interfaith, Intercultural and Interracial Couples, facilitating productive communication around sensitive issues, as do my 2 interns, Mary & HeeSoo.

If you're navigating work-life balance, stressors, and likely facing the ongoing challenges compounded by the pandemic, I am here to come alongside you as you seek healing, health and wellness. I have a special interest in serving adult-aged clients in the BIPOC community. Whether you are in college, graduate school, or a working professional, I'm taking new clients in Uptown (& telehealth) at this time. Maybe you are finding yourself at a crossroads, facing a major (or minor) life change. Therapy with me will be holistic, person-centered, integrating your story as you slow down, seek clarity and pursue a conscious, welcomed change.

I work with individuals who want to continue becoming the best version of themselves, confidently express their thoughts, feelings and emotions, and have compassion for themselves even when they've made a misstep. I also meet with individuals and couples looking to build more assurance in their ability to communicate (especially about the hard stuff), become highly skilled in handling conflict, understand how attachment impacts how we show up in relationships, and see one another with more grace, understanding and positivity.

Sometimes life can become so overwhelming that we feel stuck and are unsure where to turn next. Sometimes in order to manage this stress, we turn to coping skills or patterns that are not helpful or healthy for us in the long run. For the past 15 years, I have worked with individuals to help them build awareness of any unhelpful patterns and behaviors that have gotten in way of living in line with their values and how they want to show up in their relationships and the world around them.

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.

Stressors in our lives often become overwhelming and confusing. They challenge our ability to cope. In collaboration with you, I provide practical guidance, support, and compassion to understand what might be helpful. I will gently and consistently challenge you to effectively change and move towards a meaningful and purposeful life.

This world, this life, is pretty absurd when we think about it. We're on a giant rock floating in the vast universe, not knowing why we're here and how to navigate it all. I want to be there for people trying to find a way to forge their path through life and find some joy, contentment, humor, and purpose along the way. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking out therapy to work on finding relief from relationship stress, depression, anxiety, and/or trauma, whether it's linked to past experiences or because of current stressors in their lives.

If you're reading this page, you are likely experiencing some emotional distress and/or dissatisfaction that you would like support to understand and resolve. Perhaps you can identify causes and perhaps it just feels confusing. Meeting with someone to gain understanding around where these experiences originate, as well as tools to address them, is a great (and brave) step. I would love to chat to see if we may be a good fit in that important work.

I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples to live their lives fully and in balance. I work with a variety of clients on abundance of issues. Whether you are a couple who has relationship or parenting issues, or an individual dealing with retirement, loss or job transitions, I am there with you on that journey too. I also have experience and passion working with clients who are suffering cognitive changes. I strongly believe that they deserve to get the support as well as their caregiver to live a vibrant and full life.

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!

I see therapy as a tool used to facilitate feeling empowered and positively engaged in life. I believe that we all have the capacity to grow, heal and live a life that is joyful, purposeful and fulfilling.

No matter where we’ve been, everybody longs to feel heard and understood. When you’re going through a difficult time, being able to process your emotions with someone and form a trusting relationship with them can be incredibly healing. I look forward to walking alongside you in this journey and hearing about your experience. I practice therapy from an open, affirming perspective that places you at the center. As you come to my office, I hope you’ll find a safe, creative space to bring your whole self. In my practice, I provide individual therapy to people who are age 16 and older.

Now accepting new clients! I believe the road to healing begins with a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, trust, and unconditional positive regard. Using person centered approaches, I guide clients towards exploring strengths and values to help frame their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that focuses on their proven resilience and empowers clients to live their most authentic lives. My greatest reward as a therapist is witnessing the courage and vulnerability clients demonstrate in taking steps to transform their lives by using healthy coping mechanisms, new forms of communication, and CBT skills.

The therapists at Emerge Therapy can help you understand and transform long-standing patterns that no longer serve you well. This includes being curious about early and current relationships, exploring unacceptable or difficult emotions, and increasing awareness of the relationship between mind and body. We have a holistic perspective on mental health and seek lasting change through in-depth and integrative work.

I am a therapist who specializes in helping nurses, doctors/residents, therapists, occupational/physical therapists, and other helping professionals. The pressure to "get it right" for our patients and clients can be overwhelming. If you find your entire day revolving around getting ready for work, working, and recovering from work, you might benefit from coming to therapy with me. I help healthcare providers distance themselves from obsessive thoughts about whether they did enough at work or all they still have to do. I aim to help you enjoy your job again and leave work at work.

I love to work with folks who are ready to connect with their innate power to heal and flourish in their lives. These folks may be feeling stuck in one way or another pushed to experience more, but not sure how to get there. They may be experiencing symptoms such as anxiety or depression because of this internal tug of war, or a sense of dissatisfaction in their jobs, relationships, or the accomplishment of their life goals. We all want to feel empowered to fulfill our dreams and potential in this life and I am here to help you connect to your innate ability to do so.
