Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

I've had the honor of journeying with hundreds of people over the last 35 years who are facing difficult life transitions. I value people's strengths, experience, knowledge and dreams in THEIR counseling, and I believe deeply that we all can change in profound ways.

My clients are the champions of their own lives. It is an honor and a privilege to witness clients grow, heal, and establish better relationships. I have specialized training in how to help people manage and overcome obsessive compulsive disorder and in how to help people resolve marital/couple problems.

Cedar Hill Therapy provides sensitive, knowledgeable, evidence-based ​therapy to couples, families, & individuals. For some people, therapy is the beginning of a transformation for their lives and relationships; for others it can help them solve a specific issue and move forward with more confidence and less anxiety. Therapy may help you to see things in a different way or help make a decision that moves you forward.

I offer therapy for a variety of mental health issues and have an extensive background in depth psychology and Jungian therapy. I enjoy working with individuals who are interested in deeply understanding themselves. In contrast to mainstream approaches to therapy, which focus on teaching skills or challenging a person's thinking, I emphasize working to understand the emotional-relational-spiritual roots of my client's psychology. It is at this deeper level that lasting change can occur.

Now accepting new clients! There are so many ways to create a meaningful life, and I look to provide a relaxing space where you can heal, explore, and grow as you build yours. Whether you are new to therapy or looking to restart your practice, I am here to support you as you navigate challenging moments, pursue your goals, and find peace.

Complimentary phone consultations available- reach out to schedule!

I work with clients dealing with loss and transition and those struggling with anxiety and depression. I help my clients learn to be more present in their lives. This reduces irritability, reactivity, and the feeling of being overwhelmed or preoccupied. Together, we work to increase awareness of where they hold tension in their bodies and what triggers this tension. Often, we identify the emotions that are underneath the anxiety and they begin to heal by learning to accept and “sit with” these difficult feelings with compassion. This allows more ease in interpersonal interactions, conflict resolution and more joy in life.

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.

We all have times when we run out of ideas about how to deal with problems in our lives. It can help to involve a new set of eyes and ears to see things from a different angle. We work to gain new skills and insights, and tap into our forgotten strengths, to create independence and lasting positive change. We look at the rigid and unhelpful patterns we have, and work together to form new ways of thinking and doing. While this process unfolds you are free to be your authentic self, without feeling judgment, powerlessness, or shame, in a safe and trusting atmosphere.

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.

I have the privilege and honor of working with individuals and couples with trauma history using Brainspotting, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and other trauma-focused modalities. I primarily work with adolescents, young adults, couples, and families; however, everyone is welcome in my space. I also work with clients who do not need trauma work and use an experiential approach to therapy. This means I show up authentically, use humor, and think systemically, not just focusing on the individual. Also, this space is not sterile or Eurocentric, so it might feel slightly different from other therapeutic spaces.

I offer a relational, conversational, and sometimes humorous approach, fostering a low-pressure environment. My approach will gently challenge you, when appropriate, to help you move towards your goals. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your well-being and growth.

You are facing some challenges in your life like trauma, mood disorders, chronic health or pain issues, perhaps with co-occurring diagnoses of mental health & addiction. You might be struggling in your relationships as a spouse, partner or parent. You need a collaborative partnership with a trauma-informed therapist who will customize their approach towards your care, work with you to understand your needs, recognize your strengths and learn to address your challenges. You are looking for a therapist who is responsive to your culture, sexuality & uniqueness. You could work with the therapist as an individual, a couple or a family.

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 am dedicated to human sustainability. I have an expansive, holistic, and inclusive perspective of humanity and the lived human experience. As a Licensed Psychologist since 1993, I have worked with individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations motivated to experience well-being, improved relationships, inner peace, efficacy, empowerment, and flourishing. In response to life’s challenges, suffering, and transitions, therapy can offer powerful, transformative healing and forward movement. I strive to create emotional safety for our work together, offering my wholeness of presence to meet your own.

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.

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.

Even the most well-adjusted of us encounter situations or experiences that require professional support. Sometimes the natural aging process or a personal crisis brings us to a place of seeking guidance. I consider it my unique privilege and honor to be part of my client's journey on their path to encountering their whole self. My therapeutic approach is founded in an existential understanding of the human condition.
