I believe that most destructive beliefs and behaviors are rooted in the less than nurturing events we experience over the course of our life. Welcome to the human condition! Many of us can benefit from learning how to manage our human experience in healthier, constructive ways that promote growth and personal evolution. I believe in utilizing the brain's neuroplasticity and activating our innate capacity to increase and strengthen positive, growth inspiring beliefs and behaviors.

You've been searching for a therapist who genuinely gets it—someone who sees that your struggles with anxiety, depression, PTSD, emotional and behavioral disturbances are rooted in unresolved childhood trauma. You've been in survival mode for so long that you could practically teach a masterclass. Yet, beneath this survival instinct lies a deep yearning to heal your inner child and address how past abuse, neglect, and complex stress have shaped your self-view, relationships, and parenting.

Do any of the following resonate with you? Resentment is eating away at your joy in life. You are avoiding things. You feel lonely, even when you are with others. You appear to have it all together, but inside you feel raw. Feeling stuck at work, unhappy in relationships, preoccupied, pressured to perform. Everyone keeps talking about 'boundaries' but you're not sure how to create them without feeling guilty. You are an intelligent, caring, and determined person. You want to grow and improve but you're slipping into old patterns. You want to feel present in the moment instead of thinking about what's next.

You deserve respect for your experiences and equitable access to a joyful life. Therapy has shifted orientation of fixing something that is wrong to discovering other tools in your box and utilizing each to their full capacity. You are not broken, or too much, though the situation may be and together we determine the shape and the form, envisioning what’s next. It is part of a process that every person deserves, discovering or uncovering what isn’t working in your life and expanding your unique abilities as it aligns with your joy.

Available to work with any individual or couple in Minnesota, I approach therapy with a deeply empathetic and a client-centered focus. My interests lie in assisting individuals struggling with trauma & grief, anxiety & depression, and life transitions. When neglected, these issues can snowball into more problems that can alter your daily functioning. You may find you've been experiencing disordered eating, relational issues, sexual health changes, diminished self worth, and/or sleep disorders. I also work with couples dealing with infidelity, infertility, sexless marriage, power dynamics, unmet needs, and ruptured communication.
