Sometimes it feels like you're carrying more than anyone else realizes. Anxiety, depression, painful experiences, parenting responsibilities, cultural expectations, or major life changes can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and unsure of how to move forward. You may be taking care of everyone else while struggling to care for yourself. You don't have to keep doing it alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress management, panic disorder, cultural and ethnic issues, and trauma so they can build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of balance and confidence in their everyday lives. Working with adolescents, adults, and families, I strive to create a compassionate, culturally responsive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Over the past ten years, I’ve had the joy of working with wonderful, diverse communities—from LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC individuals to those navigating mental illness, homelessness, and co-occurring challenges. As a child of immigrants myself, I truly understand the cultural barriers around mental health. I’m here to help break down those walls and create a warm, safe space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported.

I have 10+ years of experience in a variety of mental health positions including casemanagement, ARMHS, county social work, substance use treatment settings, and hospital settings. I have a masters in social work from The University of New England. I work with a variety of diagnosis including anxiety, depression, PTSD, adjustment disorder and personality disorders. Also, phase of life concerns from adjusting to an addition to the family to retirement. I work primarily from a solution focused prospective. Working to change how experiences affect today's behaviors.
I believe in meeting people where they are—with honesty, warmth, and a steady presence. My approach is calm and straightforward, focused on creating a space where you can be fully yourself.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Minnesota
Searching for therapists in Minnesota starts with finding care that fits your needs and location. Minnesota therapists support people with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. Available care can vary between urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on.
Whether you’re looking for therapy in Minnesota near Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, or a smaller community, logistics can shape which therapist is the right fit. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility with scheduling. As you compare Minnesota therapists, review appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their style in their bio. Profiles can help you understand what sessions may feel like before you book.
The cost of mental health care in Minnesota varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs.
