Therapists for college students near University of Minnesota

Hello! My practice is focused on complex, chronic mental health challenges, especially borderline personality and chronic depression (dysthymia). The clients I work with often grapple with isolation, mood instability, a nagging sense of emptiness, and recurring relationship struggles. Substance use may be present, but is rarely the core issue. Many have tried therapy before, and have perhaps found some benefit, but remain skeptical about whether it can truly bring the change they seek. My goal is to help you identify deep patterns that have subtly narrowed your options in life, challenge and overcome these patterns, connect more easily with others, and generally feel more at home in the world. I have been fortunate enough to train in mentalization-based treatment and schema therapy, both of which have been recognized as evidence-based treatments for complex, chronic mental health problems. I work to provide a safe, supportive, and inquisitive environment in which you can share your experiences, feel heard, and try out new ways of understanding yourself and relating to others.

Now accepting new clients! Are you navigating the ups and downs of life, struggling with the transition to school, seeking healing from loss or trauma, or striving for better control over alcohol or substance use? I specialize in trauma and addiction therapy, with training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to address these challenges effectively. In addition to trauma and addiction, I work with clients facing a range of mental health concerns, including relationship issues, life transitions, daily stressors, anxiety/overwhelm, depression, and self-worth. My approach is tailored to each individual's needs, focusing on building effective coping skills and fostering personal growth. I have over 12 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. In our sessions, you can expect a supportive environment where your voice is heard, your experiences are validated, and your path to healing is respected. I employ a mind and body approach, recognizing that true healing often involves addressing multiple aspects of our well-being. If you’re ready to take the first step toward recovery and resilience, I am here to help guide you through that journey. Reach out by phone or email to begin a conversation about how we can work together to achieve your goals. If the times listed don't work, please reach out, as I may have availability elsewhere in my schedule.

For women desiring to heal their emotional wounds so they can feel calm, confident in themselves and connected to their loved ones.

You've perfected the art of seeming like you have it all together, but on the inside it feels like things are falling apart. You're dealing with a lot of stress, your worry keeps you up at night, and you have difficulties saying nice things to yourself. You have big dreams and life goals, but somehow you can't quite keep up with day-to-day demands. Outside influences and pressures are bringing you down, you find yourself procrastinating on important tasks, and avoidance has become your go-to coping mechanism. Your anxiety is getting in the way of your happiness and you're tired of feeling stressed, anxious or burned out. There’s not a one-size-fits-all approach to healing. The models I pull from are dependent upon your unique needs and healing process. My clients appreciate my warm and inviting, yet direct approach. I am an active participant in your therapy and I will not tip-toe around your challenges. Your time is valuable and I want you to get the most out of therapy. You deserve to take care of yourself with the unconditional support of someone who is trained to help you navigate through these difficult times. When you’re ready, I invite you to connect with me. I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can get a feel for whether I'm a good fit for you. I'd love to hear from you!

If you're here because your past traumas are creeping up on you, what you show the world doesn't align with what's on the inside, or your anxiety/depression has depleted you---I want to work with you. You might be someone who has a hard time asking for help, so the fact that you're even thinking about getting it is a big step. You don't have to keep feeling the way you are. Sometimes, we just need a therapist to guide us along our path to feeling better. I want you to feel equipped to handle life’s ever-changing ups and downs, and to be able to do it with a sense of purpose, stability, and self-awareness. I work best with clients who are young professionals (in their 20's-30's) or youth (10 and up). They're ready for real change. Clients who are a good fit for me might come to therapy because they have a hard time calming down, feel trapped by their traumas, struggle with perfectionism, or are just feeling like something is missing in their lives. My style of therapy is warm and nonjudgmental. We'll come together to look at how the present is intertwined with your past, and find ways that work for you to cope. When it comes to trauma, I don't believe you need to even fully remember it to heal from it. If you need help but don't know what questions to ask, that's ok! Reach out for a free consultation.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 10 years of experience working in the field. For the past 7 years I have been working at a college campus in Minnesota focusing on working with BIPOC students. I have worked in various community settings as well as private practice. I have worked with individuals struggling with adjustment and mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. I am aware of how difficult it can be for college students to transition to adulthood as well as manage high stress of school, family and work.

My training experiences as a clinical psychologist have spanned a broad range of treatment settings (inpatient, outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization) and treatment populations (adults, adolescents, and children). I have worked with many types of people throughout my career: from high-functioning professionals who are experiencing job-related stress, to individuals suffering from chronic and persistent mental illness. Above all, I specialize in helping people heal “relational trauma.” This term is a broad one, and difficult to succinctly describe (but I’ll try my best) —People who have endured relational trauma oftentimes have a childhood marked by emotional misattunement (others not correctly reading and responding to their emotional needs), emotional neglect, emotional or physical abuse, and confusing relationships with others. Typically, those with relational trauma have parents who might have been less warm, more emotionally enmeshed or punitive, or simply too consumed with their own issues or trauma to correctly “attune” to the needs of the child. Sometimes, this trauma results from some major personal or family trauma (e.g., divorce, death, major illness of a family member). So how does relational trauma affect us in adulthood? This can show up in many ways, some of which include: * Difficulty regulating emotions (e.g., feeling constantly overwhelmed by anxiety and fear) * Chronic shame and guilt * Constantly “beating” oneself up or putting oneself down * Difficulty depending on others (e.g., emotionally) * Discomfort with emotional intimacy and problems maintaining healthy relationships * Feeling “empty” on the inside and struggling with identity issues * Worrying about interpersonal abandonment, rejection, criticism, etc. * Excessive need for approval, being overly submissive or suggestible I would like to offer hope — the mental health field has begun to increasingly appreciate the effect of childhood on adulthood. Therapy can help to heal the pain that these experiences have caused, and help you free yourself from repetitive patterns rooted in these experiences (e.g., repeatedly choosing “unhealthy” relationships) I graduated with my PhD in clinical psychology from the APA-accredited clinical psychology program at the University of North Texas, and completed the APA-accredited clinical psychology internship program at the Institute of Living (IOL) in Hartford, Connecticut. At the IOL, part of my primary clinical responsibilities included co-facilitating daily inpatient and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) psychotherapy groups, in addition to completing psychological testing and providing individual psychotherapy services. My time at the IOL offered me unique and intensive training in psychodynamic theory and technique, which still strongly influences my clinical work to this day. After completing internship, I completed postdoctoral training in the psychiatry department at the University of Minnesota, where I received specialized training in the assessment and treatment of psychosis, personality issues, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and severe depression. Prior to my internship, my clinical training in the Yale School of Medicine and at the Yale New Haven Hospital Intensive Outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program provided me with extensive psychotherapy training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. While at the Yale School of Medicine, I also received unique training in mindfulness-based interventions, which also strongly influences my approach to treatment. The point in sharing all of this is that I have lived in many places, been exposed to many different types of training and experiences, and have a deep passion for learning and helping people. I believe that my training and skills within the realms of individual therapy, group therapy, and psychological testing helps me understand and connect with clients at a deep and profound level.
