Therapy, like life, happens in the context of relationships. Our first task will be to form our own. During this time I’ll hear from you about what’s going well in your life as well as what is feeling difficult or overwhelming. Our work can take several forms, but in all of them I value connection, humor, and authenticity.

Navigating life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming and intimidating. As your therapist, I’ll hold space for you to express your fears and vulnerabilities in a supportive space. Together, we can actively explore challenges you’re experiencing, and generate solutions based on your needs and strengths. I create a nurturing environment for clients through genuine compassion, patience, and open-mindedness. My style is kind and warm, infused with creativity, mindfulness, and a sense of humor. As a therapist and previous educator, I have extensive experience supporting individuals of varying abilities and identities.

It may be difficult to ask for help when feeling overwhelmed by challenges in your life. I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment to help you learn more about yourself and gain skills to navigate those life challenges. I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative one and aim to create a space where you feel seen and heard. I have a gentle yet direct communication style and utilize a person-centered, strengths-based, and relational approach.

I am a dynamic clinician who specializes in personal growth and transformational therapy leading to a generative life . I draw from various approaches, including positive psychology, humanistic psychology, spiritual psychology, mindfulness-based research practices, psychodynamics, CBT, and attachment theories. My focus is on coaching clients shift their mindset to align with their priorities, dreams, goals, and living a purposeful life. I have a strong foundation and commitment to social justice and decolonizing practices. I collaborate with clients to make the best of their circumstances and facilitate transformation and growth.

At times, dealing with emotional and relational challenges and other life stressors can feel frustrating and overwhelming. I will listen to you carefully and work with you to identify those issues clearly, then develop healthier approaches and coping skills to improve your sense of integration and wholeness. I will collaborate with you to create a life with a greater sense of authenticity and fulfillment. Trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, alcohol and chemical use, co-dependency, relationships, anger, and life transitions are all challenges with which I am able to help you.

Thanks for visiting my profile. Are you struggling to feel connected to yourself and those around you? Feeling depressed, anxious, or lost? I would love to hold space with you while you explore the inner workings of all things related to you. I believe that as human beings, everything we do is relational, therefore, I believe therapy offers the opportunity to heal with another person being present. I have been working as a clinical social worker for the past 12 years. I currently offer telehealth services in Minnesota and Wisconsin to individuals 18 and older.

Because I believe we grow and learn throughout our life, I delight in working with all people. I see therapy as a supportive environment created for the purpose of encouraging one another in times of need, as well as joy. I have specialized experience working with children and families, empowering each during tough transitions such as toddlerhood and adolescence, while collaborating during unexpected and challenging issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma and more. I utilize play, narrative, feminist, and mindfulness therapies to encourage hope and develop authentic connections with each person I see.

You're feeling stuck in a pattern that isn't working anymore; struggling in work relationships, friendships, with family or significant other(s). You want to feel connected and understood, but attempts to be close with others or to get your needs met often lead to disappointment or conflict. Identifying and sharing what you want and need in relationships can feel scary, so you're looking for help managing anxiety and finding the words to express yourself when it comes to what you need from others. You may also have a traumatic event(s) that you know is holding you back. You're ready to process those events so you can heal.

I firmly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I aim to create a warm and judgment-free zone by utilizing a person-centered approach with a social justice lens, Health at Every Size principles, humor, and an array of mindfulness, self-care, and self-compassion tools. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a partnership that learns and grows together. I consider my therapeutic approach laidback, informal, compassionate and full of curiosity. As we work together I hope to help provide you with insight, gain life/coping skills, and encourage exploring what you need to live a fulfilled and authentic life.

Immediate availability. You've carried the weight of your struggles alone for far too long. The mere thought of reaching out for help, expressing your needs, and acknowledging your worth as a person feels like an insurmountable hurdle! Anxiety and depression seem to have a firm grip, distorting your perspective. Navigating through emotions has become a labyrinth, and anger simmers beneath the surface. The pressures of life have left you seeking effective stress management strategies. Self-esteem feels elusive, and issues related to masculinity and femininity weigh heavily on your shoulders. Perfectionism has crushed self-acceptance.

Are you weighed down by feelings of overwhelm, depression, and anxiety, struggling to cope with daily life's demands? Does constant worry or sadness affect your relationships and daily functioning? Despite seeming put-together externally, you might feel empty inside, battling through each day. If this strikes a chord with you, seeking support could be beneficial. Together, we can confront these challenges head-on, finding ways to manage your emotions and rediscover inner peace and purpose.

As a direct therapist, I believe in the power of establishing a genuine and empathetic connection with clients. Drawing from a deep understanding of human psychology, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I'm committed to staying informed of the latest research and developments in psychology. This dedication to ongoing education ensures that I'm providing clients with the most effective and evidence-based therapeutic interventions available.

People come into therapy because they want something to change in their lives--how they feel, how they relate to others, how they handle stress. I enjoy working with people who want to commit to working in therapy; who have the courage to face the important issues; who want to work collaboratively with me to find the solutions to feeling better. I consider myself a guide and coach in this process as we get to know each other. It gives me great joy to watch my clients grow, change and start to enjoy life again.

If you're looking for a place to deepen your healing while feeling heard, seen, and empowered, you're in the right place. Hello! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and have been providing therapy since 2015. I am also a Minnesota Board Approved Clinical Supervisor, intuitive therapeutic coach, and a matrescence educator. I currently specialize in maternal mental health, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders for the birthing person and partner, attachment and childhood trauma, intuitive alignment and reconnection to oneself, hormone cycles, sex and sexuality, ancestral patterns, trauma + many more areas.

As a therapist I see how powerful the mind-body connection can be, not only in how we live our lives, but also how we respond to challenges and interact with others. We are not always able to choose the obstacles in life but I do believe we can work towards responding to them in ways that help us feel empowered and confident. By listening to and understanding our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations we are more effectively able to navigate life and choose paths that better suit our values.

Feel purposeful, energized, and balanced in your life and career. If you have found yourself disconnected from your values, stressed, and overwhelmed, I will work with you to forge a path forward with reflection and intention. I enjoy working with people during times of stress and burnout, transition, grieving, and decision-making. I employ an eclectic approach with practical tools to meet individuals' personal and career counseling needs. Our sessions may be focused on self-assessment, goal-setting, processing difficulties, or concrete skill development. You may choose to complete a more comprehensive assessment process.

My approach to therapy is relational, attachment focused, systems based, and trauma informed as I believe how we experience the world is through an eclectic lens of our relational and developmental histories, genetic and biological make-up, experiences with others, and the communities in which we live. I believe that sometimes healing is best ignited through connection, support, and exploration. I practice primarily with adult individuals, families, and couples navigating the effects of stress, PTSD/trauma, identity exploration and self-esteem, life transitions, oppression, and dual-diagnosis.
