I know how hard it can be to make those first steps. I am here to support you as you grow towards a better and more sustainable future. I specialize in identity and role exploration along with the managing the related disorders that come with masking, keeping up appearances, or lost sense of self. These can include depression, big emotions, stress, burnout and high anxiety- especially among those working in high pressure jobs or other stressful roles. This also includes exploring identity and social roles as an LGBTIA+ or Autistic person, dissociative disorders, ADHD and executive functioning challenges in general.

Hey there! Glad to see you here! I describe myself as a warm, client-centered, trauma informed therapist. My clients are champions of their own lives- they are interested and driven by many goals but with a common thread being interested in how they can look at themselves and others in a different light. As your therapist, you can expect me to bring flexibility, humor, empathy, curiosity, and honesty to sessions as we walk together. Whether its a space to work through life challenges, finding meaning through transitions, or a place for you to be witnessed and "be"- we get to be in whatever process you're in and honor it!

I work with LGBTQ+ and polyamorous folks. I recognize that many of us have experienced relationship challenges, trauma, and discrimination, and that our identities play an important role in how we heal and grow. Finding a sense of who you are is never easy, but receiving invalidating messaging from the world and holding past or present wounds makes that process even more difficult. The stories we tell about ourselves, inside and outside the context of personal identities, have power over how we understand our emotions, relationships, and experiences. What might it be like to tell your story in a new way?

I enjoy working with individuals with a wide variety of substance abuse issues, ranging from slightly problematic use that needs to return to center, to use that is profoundly destructive to the individual's quality of life. I've found that many people are looking to deepen their understanding of "why" they're over-relying on substances, so they can address the cause(s) directly and decrease their use of risky or harmful coping skills without feeling deprived or forced to endure compounding stress.

You always seem to lose the tug-of-war between your needs and the needs of others. The idea of setting boundaries at work and home feels more like a distant dream than a doable plan. Every day begins with great intentions, but by the time the sun sets, the demands of others have overwhelmed you. People have told you to take time for yourself, but It's hard to imagine what you would do for fun (if you ever had time for fun again). It doesn’t help that your inner voice has become a relentless critic, and your burnout has reached a point where doing a small task feels like climbing a mountain.

How did you get here? Do you feel shame and embarrassment about your circumstances? Are you stuck in rigid thought patterns that manifest as perfectionism, procrastination, or apathy? Many of my clients have endured painful traumatic events and ongoing invalidation throughout their lives, leading to difficulties in recognizing and managing intense emotions. This sometimes results in decisions or behaviors that later cause regret. Imagine looking back on past experiences with clarity, acknowledging their impact without allowing them to define your present or future. There is a path to learning, healing, and creating lasting change.

I've been a psychotherapist for over 40 years. What I have found is the most powerfull tool is the relationships I develop with my clients which are often deeply meaningful, based on understanding the depth of the person, often extending to the inclusion of spiritual experience. I am a fully trained marriage and family therapist, and I have graduated from the Minnesota Psychoanalytic Institute as a certified Psychoanalyst. The American Psychoanalytic Institute has awarded me the status of a Training and Supervising Analyst, the highest level of certification awarded. I want to help people find their own sense of truth.

I am a Somatic Psychotherapist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in mind-body approaches to heal trauma. I work with individuals, couples, and youth who are healing from the effects developmental trauma and PTSD. In session, I invite clients to track their sensations, images, and emotions that may arise as they share about their lives. Staying attuned to these elements allows the body to integrate past events, moving a person into a state of presence and balance. Together, we bring curiosity and a plan to support a life that feels enriching and aligned with one's dreams and goals.

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly". The therapeutic relationship is a partnership between two people who endeavor to co-create change. I have helped clients examine a wide range of issues (relational conflict, workplace difficulties, eating disorders, body image distress, addictions, trauma, spirituality, gender identity, aging, grief and loss, and sexual orientation). We will work together to alleviate your most pressing problems as well as develop a fuller understanding of the underlying issues that keep you stuck in emotional patterns that limit your capacity to enjoy the quality of life you desire.

I believe that each individual frames their life from their experiences. Such experiences can cause distress, sometimes making life unbearable. I invite clients in the direction of the unconscious mental process to create healing and promote change. With wholeheartedness and non-judgemental support, I offer a deep journey in search of keys to unveil the answers that lie within. I help clients to find insight, and cope with the underlying causes of emotional and psychological symptoms. I suppose that it is through telling one's unique story, that one can re-write it.

Many people struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety or insomnia. Others have difficulty in relationships, are dissatisfied with work or face serious health challenges. And many others struggle to adapt to life changes, or simply feel discouraged or unhappy. I work collaboratively with my clients to target the issues most challenging to them and use evidence-based approaches to improve those problems. I believe that developing a strong relationship with my clients provides the essential base from which sustainable change can be achieved. I am PsyPact certified and can practice telepsychology in those states.

I believe the problems we experience in living are woven into the fabric of our lives and rooted in enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others. These problems develop in relationship to others over the course of our lives. And it is in relationship—a relationship in which the attentive presence of another is truly and deeply felt—that these problems can be healed. In an atmosphere of curiosity and acceptance, we will work together to deepen your awareness and understanding of your needs, desires, and patterns of relating so you may experience greater freedom and fulfillment in your life.
