 I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor for the State of Minnesota with over 10 years of experience. I believe each individual deserves to have a positive therapy experience; a place where you can be seen and heard without judgement. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to explore the difficulties that are creating barriers in your growth and movement forward. I do not believe in bandaids, but in finding the core of where the psychological injury first occurred so lasting healing can happen. You are worthy of love and belonging in this world and I would love to help get you there. I have an eclectic approach utilizing concepts from CBT, ACT, DBT, positive psychology, Adlerian and psychoanalytic theories. I am trained in treating trauma, conflict resolution, mood disorders, personality disorders, and inner child work. I specialize in perinatal mental health and women's issues. I am also approved to supervise LPC and LPCC candidates.

My priority is always to ensure that folks feel safe, comfortable, and free to come as they are. As someone who believes strongly in a person-centered approach, I acknowledge that you are the expert in your life, and I am an expert in guiding you through your most vulnerable and painful moments while challenging you to expand your skills to assist you in creating the change you want to see in your life.

While DBT and trauma-informed CBT will be primary interventions, I also incorporate motivational interviewing and systems therapy. My clinical lens stems from psychology theories, including developmental and attachment theories. Our life experiences and environment has created the person we are today.

I offer flexible session times, including evenings and weekends. Therapy is for everyone. Our life experience shape and impact who we are as human beings. Therapy helps you learn how your own mind works and create the change you are looking for in your life. Let's connect and discuss the change you are looking for and create a plan that fits your needs!
