SPECIALIZED THERAPY FOR TEENS AND ADULTS IN MINNEAPOLIS AND ONLINE ACROSS MN & CA

Shift how you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.

Do you feel like you’re going to “be like this” forever?

  • You are your harshest critic -- even when something goes right, you don’t feel like you did anything to deserve it. You often feel disappointed with yourself, from the negative ways you imagine others see you, to the internal shame you feel down to your core. You may dream about feeling more confident, less awkward, or free from your self-doubt, but at that same time it seems impossible to change.

  • Even when you connect with someone, both romantically and in friendship, you worry about when they are going to pull away or leave. Or maybe just when you’re starting to feel comfortable with someone, you’re tempted to cut things off and don’t know why. You may long for someone to finally see you, but simultaneously that feels absolutely terrifying.

  • What may seem like a minor inconvenience to some feels like it brings your day to a crashing halt. You may lash out at others who ask you how you’re doing, or after going out with friends, you find yourself repeatedly replaying an embarrassing moment over in your head. It feels like your emotions control you if you allow yourself to connect with your feelings, you may never stop crying or yelling.

You’ve tried therapy before, maybe a solution-focused approach like CBT or DBT. And though the coping skills were nice for a while, it felt like digging a hole with a teaspoon. You wanted to go deeper and be asked the tough questions that help shift how you were experiencing the world. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and do the work.

I believe curiosity and connection help us heal.

Our past experiences, particularly from our younger years, shape how we see ourselves as well as the people and world around us. Therapy with me is an intentional space to dig into how you relate to your struggles by getting curious about where they came from, asking new questions, and engaging in meaningful two-way conversation with a therapist who is genuinely invested in your healing.

I specialize in working with:

  • Complex Trauma

    Developmental, attachment, and relational wounds from childhood that you may not realize are impacting your ability to connect with yourself and others as an adult.

  • PTSD

    Natural disasters, car accidents, assault, and other shock traumas can lead to a variety of intrusive symptoms that make it difficult for us to stay connected to ourselves.

  • Religious Trauma

    From the effects of purity culture to reconciling growing up with threats of eternal damnation, religious trauma can unravel our internal sense of security & relationship to community.

  • Teens

    Adolescence often comes with the challenges of feeling misunderstood and alone. Teens can benefit from a space to feel comfortable enough to dig into their struggles.

Meaningful therapy made simple:

Schedule a free consultation

Let’s connect via phone call or online. This is a commitment free 15 minutes designed to create space to ask questions, express hopes, and to get a feel for how I approach sessions and if I might be a good fit for what you’re looking for in a therapist.

Work together

We create a schedule based on your availability and desired frequency (typically weekly, or bi-weekly sessions). Therapeutic relationships are built on trust and comfortability, which I try to foster from our first meeting and continue to grow as we work and dig in together.

Notice a difference

Depth-oriented work is more of a marathon than a sprint. As you continue to do the work, you may notice familiar old patterns don’t seem to hook you in the same ways they once did or you feel more ease in areas you previously struggled to see change.

Let’s explore what’s getting in the way of what you really want for yourself
