Female Therapists in West 7th, Saint Paul, MN

Healing comes from seeking understanding of the whole self. I provide a calm and compassionate space to work through intense anxiety, depression, grief, difficult relationships, parenting concerns or that feeling that things just aren’t right. Together we can explore patterns you may feel caught in, look at things in new ways, and reclaim parts of yourself that have been closed off or are waiting for the opportunity to grow. I enjoy helpIng adults, couples, and teens heal emotional wounds, work through intense trauma or abuse, work through the trauma of the everyday, and deepen awareness of needs, greatest hopes, and complete self.

I work with adults of all races, cultures, and walks of life, and I am welcoming of those who identify as LGBTQ. As your therapist, it is my privilege to accompany you through some of life’s most difficult and beautiful seasons. I cultivate a compassionate, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment where you will feel deeply heard and understood. Within this context, profound changes are possible.

Have you had a difficult time connecting with others? Do you have a good relationship with yourself? It takes a lot of bravery to seek assistance and support for life's difficult situations - you are not alone. Do you feel that you have a long-standing and complex mental health concern? What about this - are you having a difficult time connecting with your partner? Feeling stuck? These are some of the challenges that I have helped others (like you!) work through. We can problem solve and strategize on how to take your next step.

I work with clients who live with intense emotions. Deep depression, constant anxiety, intense anger, or on the other end—clients who tend to avoid feeling all together. Emotions often drive my client's choices—how they choose to behave or speak (or bow out of engaging/speaking) depends on how they are feeling. This way of living can feel chaotic and damage relationships. My clients become aware of their thoughts and emotions without being ruled by them. My style is warm, highly curious, non-judgmental, and collaborative. It is important to me that you feel comfortable, with me, and in my space.

We are all doing what we can to be healthy. Are you in need of some more emotional support? I specialize in anxiety, depression, and other mental health diagnoses. I will work with you to help develop improved and closer relationships. I treat alcoholism, and their loved ones affected by it. I completed training in trauma informed therapy.
