Psychodynamic Therapy & Psychoanalysis in Minneapolis–St. Paul
At times, people find themselves caught in emotional or relational patterns that persist despite insight or effort. You may feel stuck in relationships, struggle with anxiety, depression, or the effects of past experiences, or have a sense that something important is shaping your life beneath the surface, even if it is difficult to describe.
This is a place to understand what hasn’t changed — and to discover what might.
I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for adults, as well as psychodynamic therapy for couples, in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area.
When Therapy May Be Helpful
People seek therapy for many reasons, including:
Repeating patterns in relationships that are difficult to change
Anxiety, depression, or other forms of emotional distress
Trauma or other past experiences that continue to shape the present
A sense of disconnection from oneself or others
Something unresolved that may be difficult to name
You do not need to have a clear understanding of what is wrong in order to begin.
Whom I Work With
I work with adults and couples from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, with attention to identity, relationships, and the complexity of lived experience without assumption or expectation.
I also frequently work with therapists and other mental health professionals seeking psychotherapy or psychoanalysis of their own.
About Me
I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice in Minneapolis. My work is informed by contemporary psychoanalytic thinking and more than a decade of postgraduate training in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
I am a graduate of the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis Certificate in Psychoanalysis program and have taught and consulted with clinicians in psychoanalytic psychotherapy training programs in Chicago and Minnesota. I also provide individual and group consultation to therapists interested in deepening their clinical work.
Getting Started
I find it best to connect briefly by phone before scheduling a consultation. This gives me an opportunity to hear a little about what brings you to therapy and to look for a mutually compatible time to meet.
