Relationships. Change. Life.
We all have painful patterns in our lives that we've struggled to figure out how to shift. I take a direct, focused, creative, and empathetic approach to help my clients make impactful changes through accessing new perspectives, strategies, and experiences. I also believe that traditional talk therapy has limited efficacy for a lot of people and am passionate about doing work that pushes the paradigm of therapy. I definitely won't be that therapist just nodding along while you talk!
One of my main areas of focus is working with relationships, whether directly with multiple people in the room or with individuals navigating relational issues in their life. I also bring a strong attachment lens into all my work, meaning that I pay attention to how our relationship dynamics have shaped us over the course of our life span. I have a particular interest and speciality in working with less typical relationships including non-monogamous relationships, coparents, decoupling partners, or non-romantic and family relationships. I’m passionate about support LGBTQ+ clients and have a lot of experience doing so. Some of my other areas of specialty and interest include working with depression and anxiety, working with clients who experience suicidality, working with chronically ill clients, and working with gender dynamics.
In my outside life, I have a background in organizing for environmental, racial, and social justice and have been very active in the Minneapolis music and dance communities for many years.
I am currently taking new clients for in-person sessions at either our St. Paul location or Minneapolis location as well as virtual sessions. I currently have availability at the Minneapolis location Tuesdays 9-5pm, Wednesdays 5-8pm, and Fridays 9-5pm. I have availability at the St. Paul location Thursdays 12-5pm. I have online availability Mondays 9-5 and during the times listed above, though I may prioritize in-person clients during some of my in-person hours.
I am currently a pre-licensed clinician under the supervision of Hannah Stevens, LMFT. As a pre-licensed clinician, I am not currently able to see clients under Medica, United Healthcare, or UMR insurances. I am also not able to see clients who are under a Medicare plan.
