Individual Therapy

Why Therapy:

Because you deserve support - not just when things fall apart, but before they do. I believe that therapy is a form of preventative health care, not just something you turn to in crisis. You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed, burned out, or barely holding it together to start therapy (though I will absolutely meet you there, too).

For many people, life can feel like a constant balancing act - holding it together, showing up for everyone else, and pushing through even when you’re exhausted.

Many people across Minnesota and Wisconsin are balancing a lot—work, relationships, caregiving, and the pressure to keep it all together. It can feel exhausting.

Individual therapy offers a space to slow down, understand your experiences, and learn how your mind and body respond to stress, trauma, and anxiety.

This isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about creating a life that feels more sustainable, grounded, and aligned with who you are.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. You just have to show up.

Who I best serve:

I provide virtual individual therapy for adults, specializing in work with women and LGBTQ+ clients navigating trauma, addiction, identity, and relationship challenges.

I work best with people who are ready to move beyond survival mode and start understanding themselves more deeply.

Many of my clients are:

  • Experiencing burnout, chronic stress, or emotional exhaustion

  • Struggling with self-worth, body image, or feeling disconnected from their body

  • Navigating relationship patterns that feel confusing or hard to break

  • Processing trauma, PTSD, or past experiences that still impact daily life

  • Living with anxiety, overwhelm, or constant pressure to “hold it together”

  • Feeling like they have to appear “fine” while internally struggling

  • Seeking LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in Minnesota or Wisconsin without needing to educate their therapist

  • Wanting a safe, inclusive, nonjudgmental space to be fully themselves

How I work:

My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I prioritize safety, trust and choice in every session. Therapy with me is real and collaborative—we’ll laugh, cry, maybe swear, and work through things together. Healing isn’t linear. It’s a process with peaks, valleys, and everything in between.

I integrate evidence-based approaches, including:

  • Internal Family Systems (or Parts Work): We explore the different parts of you - the one that over-functions, the inner critic, the one that avoids conflict, or the one holding past pain. These parts aren’t flaws—they’re protective responses. Together, we build understanding, compassion, and integration.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We look at patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and work to challenge what’s keeping you stuck. CBT helps you build practical tools to manage anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm, while strengthening your sense of agency.
