I am licensed in Minnesota and Colorado as a Marriage and Family Therapist, along with being a yoga teacher.  I see clients in both states virtually and in person, in nature and in office!  I am also a painter, animal lover, amateur gardener, writer, coffee connoisseur, gamer, ceramicist, collector of tiny adorable things, outdoorswoman, and a life long learner.

In my clinical practice I intentionally call myself a relational therapist, because I have found the title of being a "marriage and family therapist" to be too limiting.  I want to provide gender affirming, inclusive care for all.  After all, marriage, and family are only two categories that relationships can exist in.  I want to reach further than that.  I want to welcome parents and children, blood family members, chosen family members, poly family members, domestic partnerships, consensually non-monogamous relationships,  and everything in between.   

I offer attachment based, trauma sensitive therapy in combination with experiential therapies such as art and movement to guide my clients to access their experiences in new ways, and create a deeper understanding of themselves and those they are in relationship with.   I am also passionate about walking alongside individuals needing support in navigating transitions, identity work, late diagnosed Autism or ADHD, and generational trauma.  

On my way to becoming a therapist, I have been an art teacher, competitive athlete and behavioral health specialist working with children on the Autism spectrum.  Each of these chapters of life have given so many lessons and perspectives, and I strive to integrate that knowledge into my present work as a couples and family therapist.  Throughout my professional career, I have received training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), as well as dedicating significant time during my master's program to research focused on the impacts of trauma throughout the life cycle, and how those impacts show up in present day relationships.  

In a session with me, you will of course do some talking!  And, you can expect a collaborative, empathetic approach from me each day, with whatever version of yourself that you bring into the room.   That might mean that in a session together you might go outside, work with a therapy dog (or a horse if you're really lucky) in session, move your body or dig into some art supplies.  I really value collaborating with my clients to create meaningful goals on each of their unique journeys towards sustainable, lasting, and positive change.  

When I’m not in my office, you can most likely find me outside somewhere exploring with my dogs, or making copious amounts of bagels. 

Hey everyone, I'm Daniel! 

(he/him/his)

I am Trixie's primary trainer and human, along with being some administrative support for Haley.  I have a dense background in psychology, ranging from residential work, to my current work as a behavioral health specialist at Hennepin Healthcare. 

My role at The Kaleidoscope View is to give administrative support, along with moral support and cooking fantastic food for Haley, Trixie and Wallace.   If I'm not doing that, you can probably find me out walking with Trixie, deep diving into a new video game, or rock climbing! 

I'm Trixie!

Clearly, the best staff member here.  If you want to hang out, talk to the humans on this page to make sure you won't be allergic to me or anything.  I love watching the sidewalk out my window at home, taking my naps on dirty clothes, and going on long walks with Daniel and Haley.

I'm about 11 years old, the humans think.  I feel more like a well seasoned 5 year old.  I was rescued from the streets, and definitely like living with Daniel and Haley much better.  I know a lot about emotions, and seem to always see them coming before the humans do.  I've been told that my eyes and my fluffy butt (no idea why) have the power to "bring joy and calm", whatever that means. 

Anyways, I want to sniff your shoes and hang out with you.  Especially if you rub my belly.
