Whether you’re facing issues you’ve struggled with for many years, or you’ve experienced more recent difficulties or life changes, please know this: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. So often, we suffer far too long by waiting to ask for help, thinking we need to fix things on our own, or feeling as if things will never get better. Taking that first step in reaching out for help can feel intimidating, but it can also lead to renewed hope and the beginning of healing.

Accepting residents of MN and PsyPact states. Do you often feel misunderstood, scared, stuck, unheard, or like you don't matter? Sometimes life experiences have us feeling like we are constantly struggling or fighting to survive. Maybe you feel like it's difficult to connect with others or even find it difficult to love yourself. This can leave you feeling lonely and unsure of the future, possibly even unsure if you can trust anyone to understand your struggles. I have interest in helping those who struggle with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, women's issues, and psychological trauma.

Are you feeling unseen, unheard, or stuck in a difficult relationship? Maybe you’re drained, alone, or find yourself repeating old patterns—tolerating disrespect and struggling to say “no” when you need to. Many of my clients come to me overwhelmed by conflict, mistrust, or painful communication problems, often unsure how to find their voice or set healthy boundaries. I offer care through a Christian lens, if desired, drawing on Christ’s teachings to guide our work and help you find hope, clarity, and strength for healthier relationships.

Is your substance use sucking the life out of you? Or maybe you’re doing everything “right,” but nothing actually feels better. Why waste another day doing what isn’t working?
I’m a private pay Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. That gives me the flexibility to tailor the work to you, not a system. My experience goes beyond education and clinical “know-how.” I’ve been both the one struggling with substance use and the sober partner navigating someone else’s addiction and recovery.
You won’t hear the same things in my office that you hear in treatment or recovery meetings.
