Healing for emotional, relational, and spiritual wounds
ABOUT
I'm a psychotherapist in Minneapolis. I also apply my INFJ spirit to engaging with nature, photography, songwriting, and travel. I study the Chinese language and practice taiji and Daoism. Before becoming a therapist, I wrote software for organizations such as NASA and the Mayo Clinic.
Welcome to my practice. My approach to therapy blends personal life experiences with a strong foundation in counseling psychology, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Relational Therapy, and Hakomi. I am deeply committed to helping people, no matter their sex, gender, race, or political beliefs, find meaningful ways to navigate life's challenges. Whether you're from an urban or rural area or wherever you stand politically, I believe everyone deserves access to compassionate and effective therapy.
In our work together, I’ll help you discover and develop the strengths already within you, so you can live more confidently, lighter, and with a deeper sense of purpose. We'll focus on shifting how you view yourself and your experiences, helping you manage painful thoughts and emotions while moving toward a life you truly value, rather than simply avoiding discomfort.
My practice is built on a compassionate, non-stigmatizing approach that treats you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. Many clients who have previously seen symptom-focused therapists have found that my approach changes their entire understanding of what therapy can be.
Having co-founded and led a SaaS company, I understand the unique pressures of high-stress work environments and relationships. Additionally, my personal experiences with controlling and abusive narcissists, combined with specialized training in this area, allow me to support those dealing with narcissistic fallout.
