Empathic & Supportive Emotionally Focused Therapy
Every relationship has a story—including the relationship you have with yourself. One thing they all have in common is their need for attention and care.
As a relationship therapist, I stand beside you to shine a light on what lies beneath your current patterns and help you find the best possible path forward.
You may be used to easily managing most aspects of your life. You may even have tried to fix whatever is troubling you or your relationship on your own. Relationships, though, are unique. They take time. They take patience. And sometimes, they take professional help to maneuver them into their next phase or chapter.
Sometimes we need to gently lift the wheels over the bump on the road. Other times we must find a new course entirely.
A compassionate approach to therapy:
I take a unique approach to therapy, pulling from my own life experiences—like surviving cancer, divorce, and parenting teenagers—with a generous amount of humor. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and I listen deeply to help you write your next chapters how you want them to be written.
In-person and remote options:
My office is conveniently located in South Minneapolis on Chicago Avenue. Can't make it into the office? No worries—I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant teletherapy for clients throughout Minnesota. First sessions are always in-person unless we've discussed otherwise.
