Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Minneapolis, MN

You might look like you’re holding it all together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in painful relationship patterns you can’t seem to break. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma that still affects your daily life, panic attacks that come out of nowhere, or relationships that leave you feeling unseen or disconnected. Therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. A place where you don’t have to explain away your feelings or carry everything alone. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel safer, more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again.

Welcome and I’m so proud of you for making it this far! Therapy can be intimidating, so I am here to support you and walk with you on your journey. My philosophy is that you are the expert in your own experiences and I am just along to help guide you as you need.

I specialize in working with children, aged 6 through 18, and adults facing diverse challenges. I have a specialty in working with individuals facing life transitions, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, grief/loss, perinatal/postpartum, confidence building, trauma, and social skills building.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Adler Graduate School, and I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I provide therapy for children, teens, adults, families, and groups, and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported. One of the things clients often tell me is that I am authentic, down-to-earth, and easy to connect with. I believe therapy works best when there is a strong, trusting relationship and when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves.

My clinical work focuses heavily on anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. I also work with individuals navigating grief, substance use concerns, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related symptoms. I use a collaborative, client-centered approach and tailor treatment to each individual’s needs, goals, and strengths.
