Relationship Issues Therapists in Saint Paul, MN
I specialize in supporting women who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns.
Do any of the following sound familiar? You feel anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed most days. You notice that no matter how successful you are, or how much you have achieved, you still struggle with feeling “not good enough.” You often don't know what you want or need, and sacrifice your own well-being to meet the needs of others. You want to find meaning and joy in life, but find that most days you are just trying to get by and survive. If you're looking for a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space to do this work then let's talk.

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, LGBTQ issues, relationship difficulties and ADHD.
Have you been feeling down? Like something is off? Are you at a transition point in your life? Are you struggling with a relationship? You've made it this far, why not give counseling a try? For many people it is the first step in changing behaviors and patterns that have led to distress and relational challenges. Together, we’ll explore what might be getting in your way, and identify strategies that you can use to feel better. Therapy can also be a great opportunity to explore questions related to meaning and purpose in life and in work, as well as personal and professional identity development.

I work with clients to explore self-image, personal values, and relationship dynamics through a trauma-informed lens.
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?

My approach to therapy begins with building an authentic and collaborative relationship.
Living in hell? I am here to help. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or BPD, I may be a great fit for you. I provide skills to alleviate symptoms like suicidality, self-harm, emotion dysregulation, relationship problems, sleep disturbances, and feeling out of control. If you are diagnosed with a medical condition, have cognitive impairment, or are a caregiver, I also may be a great fit. I find value in supporting clients and their families through life-changing medical events or diagnoses, end-of-life care, and disability. Let's work together to help you move through and out of hell.

When challenges interrupt life, making it difficult to manage, having a therapist/guide to help you regain your potential gets you where you want to be sooner with greater success. We live in a culture that often encourages us to “just tough it out”. We can begin to believe that asking for help means admitting failure, and we fall further into despair. The truth is the therapy process creates space and time for you to explore what is at the root of those challenges. We will work together to build a genuine therapy relationship that supports your journey toward improved functioning and life satisfaction.

I often focus therapy on expressing emotions, exploring difficult experiences, and building resilience in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship.
I feel that it is a great privilege to hear your story as you explore your struggles and strengths during therapy. I believe that facing difficult issues and past wounds with compassion and support fosters real change and connection. I enjoy working with people from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and will prioritize your needs to help you feel comfortable and meet your goals.

I embrace humor, openness, and honesty in the therapeutic relationship, and I view our work together as collaborative.
I have experience working with individuals and couples identifying as LGBTQ+ as well as heterosexual, cisgender in the areas of ADHD, anxiety, identity, trauma, parenting, phase of life changes, ENM, communication, and conflict management; among others. As an ADHD brain myself, I have a special interest in working with individuals or couples to address the personal and/or relational challenges of ADHD; we will deconstruct shame and self-worth stemming from ADHD, address communication difficulties, and increase overall understanding of how ADHD impacts all aspects of our lives.

I believe the single most important component of therapy is the unique and authentic relationship that is forged between therapist and client.
Much of my work is centered around gender – from issues surrounding identity exploration, to social/medical transition, to gender dysphoria, to gender-identity-related interpersonal challenges. Some of my favorite work is in helping to bridge the communication gaps between teens and their families after a teen has come out as trans/gender nonconforming! I also have experience with depression, anxiety, substance use, military families, sexuality and sexual health, emetophobia (phobia of vomit), phase-of-life challenges, uncertainty/anxiety about the future, kink/BDSM, and partner conflict/miscommunication.

I believe the therapeutic relationship that we will form, combined with the bespoke therapeutic tools I offer you, will be a powerful resource for your unique healing and growth journey.
I understand that during our life journey, we can experience mental, emotional, and relational distress. Sometimes we know what is causing it but don’t necessarily know what to do about it. At other times we don’t actually know what is causing the discomfort or pain and where it’s coming from, but we know we feel it. This is where therapy can be very helpful.

I aim to connect with you in an authentic way so you feel comfortable entering into a relationship where you can trust me.
My ideal clients are adolescents, young adults, adults and couples, who are dealing with issues associated with shifting life roles, exploration of identity, anxiety and/or depression, difficulty with relationships, caregiver stress, grief and loss, seeking more meaning and purpose to their life, and/or seeking healing from inner wounds and trauma. I enjoy working with individuals seeking creative ways to explore what is holding them back from leading a fuller life. Through a combination of dialogue, music, and art, we will collaboratively uncover new areas of awareness that lead to positive shifts in their life.

While I draw from several different models, my overall approach is relationship-oriented and individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.

Regardless of what motivates someone to seek therapy, I am passionate about helping them recognize their own resources and wisdom to draw from even after our work together is over.
